You don't fire Earley unless you have a replacement lined up, and only giving a brand new head coach 1 year isn't a good look. He has 3 major injuries to start the season to deal with.

Trev needs to give it a look at the end of the season if things god really bad. Maybe talk to some players. But 1 bad season isn't a great reason to fire a coach unless you are sure he isn't the guy.

The players should have zero input.

I think Earley has what it takes, but we are really going to have to see programmatic improvements in year 2.

---

Why do you think "Early has what it takes"?

Team has no edge. Jace was awake early but rest of the team is sleepwalking. Everyone looks like they are waiting for somebody to do something.

---

There is no player leadership. That seems abundantly clear at this point.

---

NIL cruise control will do that.

---

We had big NIL guys last year who were real leaders. Can't blame NIL IMO.

---

It's not blaming NIL. It's NIL without accountability. Not taking money from guys but it's clear the assumed dudes never felt any fear about their status. I felt like under Schloss every guy was playing for their job every day.

This seems like fall ball mentality that slid into "oh ****" that slid further into "what do we do" and now we're ****ed.

I never would have expected the team to look so lost at the plate with our hitting coach still in the ballpark.

This observation should convince anyone with a brain cell that Earley was NOT our hitting coach….that may have been his title, but he damn sure wasn't THE hitting coach….

---

He absolutely was, and has an excellent track record as a hitting coach. He is elite in that role.

---

Was he? Or was the dictation by the head coach on how the offense should be handled, coached, and controlled the main influence?

I am not saying I know the answer but we ought to begin asking the question

---

Do you know his track record? Look at what hitters say about him from his time at ASU.

---

I know the track record and hitters at ASU saying they liked him. I also see with my own eyes.

---

What did you see the last 3 years? It's fair to doubt Earley as a manager, but not as a hitting coach.

---

And if it wasn't Earley then who was it? Because that's who pos said it was and that's who he wanted in Austin...

From hearing what others around the game have said about him, talking with people who know the game well and know college ball well. It seems he got the job before he was ready, but I think he will be a great manager one day. I hope it's here.

Because he isn't doing the same this year? If you have stars you can read staff posts about how the approach has changed quite a bit - first pitch swings, k rate, bb rate, etc. We are not doing what we did the previous 3 at the plate.
