"We talked at length," Alberts told the Houston Chronicle on Tuesday of finally earning an audience with Schlossnagle prior to the super regional of the NCAA Tournament against Oregon. "I said, 'Are you frustrated? Is there anything I can do?' And at the end of the conversation I said, 'Jim, if you're not happy here and you want to leave, that's OK. But please don't hurt our program and don't hurt our kids.' That's what I said.

Trev also said former coach canceled meetings on him several times.
Former coach is a lying dogface pony soldier.
After reading this I am more convinced Trev had an offline conversation with Early at some point, maybe twice, prior to the team returning and the staff going to Austin.
You're concerned that he did or what they discussed??? Because Earley wasn't an early target…Trev said.
Trev said......
No not concerned and doubtful that discussion(s) included future HC promises. If Trev initiated the conversation, more along the lines of gaining further understanding of what was happening and or possible thoughts naming Early interim HC simply by giving him a confidence/gratitude statement to build trust.
More likely the conversation was initiated by Early, after game 3 and before his departure to Austin or immediately following. Trev may have simply responded I understand, go celebrate a great season, be with the team & your family, and lets talk next week.
There is no way in hell an AD with Trevs experience didn't leave that meeting with Schloss and have a back up plan in place and or start on a behind the scenes search. Meanwhile we make it to the CWS and he is walking a razors edge and or thinking nothing changes until after. Then sip announcement on the morning of game 3 probably had Trev panic briefly or confirming for him, that was it for schloss.
In 25+ Yrs of biz I have been on both sides of those conversations.
