How long do you want to ignore this user?
I'm glad to read your post. I'm thinking the same about Max. Posts in other threads were basically saying he was a data guy, didn't play the game, not a pitcher, etc. etc. I wonder what his job was? Since the Pitchers aren't moving toward him, something doesn't seem right..histag10 said:ColoradoMooseHerd said:

When the analytics guy shares his software and algorithms with the support staff, do you really need him to read the spreadsheet?

Earley has been a great hitting coach and it sounds like he'd keep the roster together, but…
…wasn't he allegedly one of the dudes going around trying to recruit players and texting them NIL offers on a burner phone???
Think about this one.
If he were doing that one. Would the players want him back.

Cain.
They may like Max, but hate schloss.. apparently schloss had no rapport with the pitchers. If max is apart of the whole illegal recruiting, he isn't going to waltz back here. But if he wasn't apart of it he might actually have interest in coming back.
The player tweets have swayed me

TN was Vitello's first HC gig. Just sayin.
TN was garbage when they hired TV. Had nothing to lose.

The problem I would have bringing any of them back as an assistant is it would feel like a sham way to get a raise. They aren't coming back for what they were making. They probably deserve a raise but they didn't bother to stick around to see what we would offer…just jumped in the clown car and took off with slosh.
I would not mind Early coming back at an elevated position.
You don't seem to understand how it works with asst coaches when the head coach leaves. They don't have the option to "stick around."
It's not unheard of. Slosh left. They weren't fired. And if you are an assistant coming on a team with our success the no other option is hardly plausible. If anything it sounds more like he was coerced from some of the posts.

He pitched at FIU.
Tell him you want that roster in tact? We're hiring Earley to make that happen.LB12Diamond said:
Earley does not have to be the head coach to bring him back. He might not want that additional pressure.
Trev is hopefully skilled enough to interview with other head coaches and explain everything without them getting offended.

Stuff gets weird man and I'm just going off of what was going around. There's so much out there it difficult to track.

So let me get this straight, when we hire assistant coaches wouldn't they have independent contracts from the head coach?

Or maybe I'm wrong and these assistants have contracts based on the head coaches employment. In which case that would be the ****tiest situation ever.
I understand but what I'm saying is he wouldn't just automatically be unemployed, unless for whatever reason his contract was written that way. I'm saying he had options.
The way this whole thing went down, he might not have had time to realize that he had options.
Its a ****ty situation to be put in, for sure.
He would automatically be unemployed as soon as his contract ends. Likely that is soon.
Why would a coach allow pictures to be taken and public notices that you are now part of the new coaching staff if you are not?

I agree with you and we're on the same side, I'm just also considering that quote by George Bernard Shaw - "Never wrestle with pigs. You both get dirty and the pig likes it".

This whole miscalculated set of antics is proof enough that they don't worry about ramifications much. Perhaps the beating they're taking from talking heads will change that? I'm not convinced is all.

1. Vaughn HC + Earley AHC

I'd take any of those right now.

This time yesterday I would have ridiculed any thoughts of bringing any of those assistants back in any capacity. But you can't deny these tweets are a pretty impressive database of references. Just don't know what to believe anymore with these guys (schlossnozzle being the exception as he's VERY obviously a POS). His body language & facial expression in that photo. The obvious love & trust of his former players. He appears to be a happy family man. Hell, trusted poster Trouble is solid in her support.
Trust in Trev and the interview process, I guess...
I am in the same exact boat. My mind is changing about the assistants. I just want to keep our core baseball team and deny POS and the Bevo he sits on the players they SO desperately need to be immediately relevant.
Heefner + Earley....that is my desired pairing!!
He would also have a new job before the new HC even arrived. If he had not gone with POS that is. His integrity intact, he's a well know assistant coach just coming off a CWS runner up! Most likely even have HC opportunities from smaller schools coming his way. He had to know his stock was rising.COYOTE1213 said:MR Gadsden said:themissinglink said:The problem is new coaches want to their own guy. Not retaining Earley would be stupid but you never know.

But he followed POS to asstin. So much for that. He failed to take an important stand on principle that would have left no doubt about his character. A stand that would have even further elevated his stock. Instead, he followed POS to asstin.
This is an extremely good thread and topic….I'm really enjoying this discussion….thanks to all
More former players
If you want to know why so many players who bled maroon and white this year entered the portal, he’s the reason. Bring Earley home and bring them home.

Nobody more deserving, no more questions need to be asked. One of the brightest, young baseball minds out there and a genuine love for his guys. Any player would run through a wall for this man. Mike Earley is a certified DUDE!!! https://t.co/rJE2cYfArJ

And this was exactly where my head was about 3 hrs ago. Back to my comment about people having choices. Schloss didnt hold a gun to their head.
But I also can imagine Earley being placed in an extremely difficult situation. And he was being sold a Schloss bill of goods. No telling what that POS said to them.
But the love shown for Earley is too hard to deny. Screw it...hire him as HC. Why the hell not at this point.
1. Get Vaughn.
2. Bring Rick back
3. Add lots of Major League soundbites
4. ???
5. Win the whole damn thing

Former players coming out of the wood works for support for Earley is not coincidental. Seems very coordinated.
I hope it's Vaughn and Earley. Two young hungry studs plus out NIL would be deadly. Not to mention, I'm fairly positive a few players would follow Vaughn this way.
