"He was thrust into a difficult situation"

No he wasn't. He convinced A&M that he could effectively coach the Aggies. He couldn't.

---

Same thing that drove Trev to hire him and players to stay and fans to accept an otherwise unusual hire.

Sorrell, Moss, Lamkin improved.

You can argue Kaeden improved because I do not believe Kaeden would have had the production he had the last 2 weeks of the end of the season if he played all season last year. This was Kaeden's first complete season.

Among new guys TK, Bear, Royo, McCoy, and Lyons were above expectations.

Met expectations was Henseler and Patton. Patton you can argue was above because he was the Sunday starter for 15 weeks and that just doesn't happen a lot.

Below expectations were Jace, Kash, and I hate saying that because I know Jace had too much pressure on him all year and Kash was hurt all season. Praeger was below expectations but he worked all season to finish strong.

Incomplete would be Farr, Wilson, and Freshcorn - freshman who got spun up and Wilson has been hurt. Freshcorn has had some good outings as of late and you can see it. He's a Chris Cortez starter kit.

The reason I asked your thoughts on that weekend is I believe what took place that weekend will be the reason he's replaced. And I think it's justified. There were several other concerns but that was the straw that broke the camels back if you will.

How coaches get their team to perform in a situation such as that one is very telling. It showed me the team is mentally weak. A horrible sign for a baseball coach.

Yogi stated, "Baseball is 90% mental and the other half phisical."

Pressing, not being focused, not staying with the game plan, whatever, at the end of the day it falls on the head coach. I was very curious what Earley would state after that weekend. His interviews the next day aligned with the team being mentally weak.

The fact Farr even had to play as much as he did this year is evidence how much talent we were missing from last year during that stretch.

Dang, he was the "Hitting Coach" under previous regime, and this team could not hit (???) to start the year.
That is a "NO" (unless he can convince MLB Draft eligible team members to return and exemplary HS recruits to come back/get on board)!

Barring a miracle run in Bham, he is done. He was a hail mary hire in a desperate situation.

The only reason we are not compounding the mistake of hiring him by doing our keep him another year or three thing, is that his hire is tied to the whole ****nagle debacle. We aren't going to let tu and ****nagle screw us again.

LOL youre in for a shock when hes back

Yeah, I am going to listen to some rando poster on texags vs Kendall Rogers.

He's isn't coming back unless he gets to regional.

What are your thought on the Missouri weekend?????

Justify keeping him from what took place that weekend.

---

Well, besides being a horrible weekend... just in my opinion... i tried to put myself in the game or thought of past games that i have been in that we played a team that going into it we knew that we for sure where going to beat them no problem... and honestly the game or two that crossed my mind, we had probably the hardest time winning.. one we lost... I feel that going into it the team had winning on their mind and looking to Georgia... feeling that Mizzou wasn't an issue ... until it was.

The friday game against Mizzou started out pretty good until the 8-9th inning... I think once the 6 or 7th started the guys put it on cruise control and stayed on it the rest of the weekend ... sometimes when you do that it is hard to get out of it... they were hunting for home runs instead of base hits... trying to hard, pressing... it just all fell apart... obviously... it doesn't help either that the first part of the season was like it was so it makes the Mizzou game worse...

So in saying that, a coach can coach, beg, plead, whatever it is for the guys to get out of the their head/funk... sometimes it works, sometimes not... I totally understand how folks feel that its on the coach.. and yes some of it is... but again, its on the players too...

---

This has been an issue literally all season. It didn't work at the beginning of the season and it was clear something needed to change with our approach. Not sure why it was even our approach to begin with. Leads to a massive amount of Ks and fly-outs.

I know all these "insiders" try to make a living by "being in the know"....but if you think people that make these decisions give them any information your naive.

Except the hitting coach was Longley. In no way did Earley spend 5-10 hours in a cage on a daily basis. I'm not saying he didn't get in there, but it wasn't like it was the past 3 years.

For those who are strongly convinced Earley is not the answer, are you pulling for A&M to make a regional?

Kendall Rogers might not have heard it from Trev himself, but these things are almost never kept perfectly under wraps. I'm sure if Trev has started gauging interest from current coaches and agents that Kendall has received word from them himself due to his connections in the industry.

Of course it's not perfect, but it's not pure guess work like some of us here. His estimations will still always have a better chance of being true than almost any poster here, even if they have a connected source or two.

How about the fact Earley thought Farr over Roya at second first. And now Farr in LF instead of George.

He has made some mistakes. Top of 9 in MO game 1 was not good. However, I believe we should give him another year. He was thrust into a difficult situation. We knew there were positives regarding roster, but had to know there would be a learning curve. Throw in losing Grahovac and Sorrell for half the year, not to mention Stewy, let us guve him a chance.

---

Agree on the adversities he faced. Every team faces something.
But can you name a SINGLE player on this team that improved from last year?

---

Binderup.. his hitting was an improvement for sure... some of the pitching was little better...

---

Binderup 2024 batting average .231
Binderup 2025 batting average .232
Not exactly the improvement I'd hang my hat on….

nothingbutlove said:

Jace has said recently something to the effect of "we would run through a brick wall" for the coach. Schott said the team feels like they're failing each other. No blame for the coach. The Grahovacs like Earley. A former player's parent is on here with thoughts that are pro Earley.

I'm not arguing, but I am super curious about what drives this kind of loyalty toward Earley.

I wish I had more info.

---

He may be willing to run through a wall for Coach Earley, but he didn't perform for him. Worst season of his career.

If we still had the prior coach, does anyone think we would be a team hoping to move onto the bubble for the tourney, or would we getting Olsen ready to host starting next week?

I think I'd put more faith in KR saying something than some rando on texags. Again, he has the position and cache. What do you have? A username that is play on Myles Garret's name?

I love these contrarians that want to just troll, if KR is repeatedly saying a change is on the way unless a regional happens, then it is much more likely than not.

Most of the Earley propping are from trolls. There a few making it emotional but most see the writing on the wall.

Say I get promoted to manager at a world class burger joint. In fact, they just got awarded #2 best burgers in the whole country the year prior. Many of the cooks came back this year and even some new highly regarded cooks joined the company. If anything, we should now be in the running for #1 burger this year! Then my restaurant loses to Taco Bell 3 times in a row in the local cook-off (also takes place in my restaurant's home town). Taco Bell has lost to every other restaurant in a 500 mile radius. What should happen to me?

Your imagination is mighty…

If they don't win the SECT, then will be the only team that was pre-season #1 and then failed to make a regional in the last 35 years.

That historical level of failure given pre-season expectations combined with the fact that Early was a high-risk experimental hire who had zero head coaching experience....ending that experiment promptly after Year 1 would be totally justified. Look, he got his shot this season. He got the kind of 'right place at right time' shot skipping a bunch of normal career progression steps that he was very very lucky to get...and he wasn't ready for it.

All the above said, if team wins the SECT and makes a regional, then okay...but otherwise, it is really hard to justify giving him even a second year, as bad as this one was.

Dude was grab assing w sip scum after todays game


Unforgivable clown move

just playing devil's advocate....

Good decisions come from wisdom
Wisdom comes from experience.
Experience comes from making bad decisions

So by that metric, we've gained a TON of wisdom this season

or as the GREAT Robin Williams would say
"It's perfect. We've been pre-disastered"

You realize most of these coaches are friends…right? Regardless of what you think of his coaching this season, I would say it's actually a pretty professional move to interact with other coaches.

Hard disagree. He has to go.

Kent did not improve. His numbers were barely above his freshman season.

TK, Royo, & McCoy over delivered.
Bear did not he's a .261 hitter. He had a 2-3 week heater and that was kinda it. He's very meh defensively.
Lyons was ok.

TAMU1990 said:

I'd say it's fair to say both met expectations not exceeded.

All 3 regressed a lot. Kash battled some injury but never looked good offensively outside of 1 weekend. He was also abysmal in LF for over a month

Freshcorn is a sophmore and considering the role the staff tried to force him into he was well below expectations.
Wilson, also a sophmore, improved when healthy but it wasn't much imo.
Farr has been bad. His infield defense was terrible and his ABs were too, but he's a freshman and that happens.

Guys you didn't mention:
Morton (when healthy) looked no better.
Cunningham massively underperformed relative to expectations. Honestly wonder if he was injured.
George was below expectations as a fielder.
Binderups defense was not adequate for the opening day 1B job.
Luke Jackson raised his ceiling but not his floor.

Not great results overall and reflects poorly on the staff imo.

Personally don't think a regional appearance should save his job but it wouldn't surprise me if it did.

You don't think Kendall Rogers has real insight into the goings on in the world of College Baseball?

The same team that was swept by mizzou beat LSU the week prior with no major roster changes afair. Every team in conference battled injury and none of them lost to mizzou. That's a loss that cannot be explained away by injuries imo.

So let's hire Danny White as AD.

Also every SEC team goes to Hoover now.
