I agree! The players love him and that is huge! don't forget we lost Sdao too. He deserves another chance; he deserves another year!MagnumLoad said:
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.
That take doesn't hold up. This team made it to the SEC Tournament and took down some of the top programs in the country, that's not something a team with "poor culture and coaching" does. People forget coach E hasn't even had the chance to fully recruit his own players yet. A few stayed, but after all the injuries and everything that happened post-CWS last year, he did the best he could with what he had and still kept them competitive.44mAG said:
The fact that the team beat all the high level teams and got swept by some of the lowest tier teams points directly to poor culture and coaching.

Yeah, they got swept by a couple lower-tier teams, but that's baseball. Teams play down to their competition all the time, even elite programs lose games they shouldn't. The key is how you respond, and this group kept showing up and fighting.
They fought through the toughest conference in the country with a young roster, injuries, and a huge part of their fan base giving up on them at the start of the season. And more importantly, they fought for their coach. That says more about the culture than anything else.

I hear you, and I love Aggie baseball too, but I think you're overlooking some critical context. The teams you think are easy wins often end up being the most stressful. That's just baseball. Upsets happen, and sometimes players play down to the competition, not because of poor leadership, but because they're human.44mAG said:amychestnut said:That take doesn't hold up.

By poor culture, I mean making the boys realize that every game matters, not just the marquee ones. Schloss was an A hole but the boys knew that they better knot half ass it during any game. If a team only wins the games against weaker competition, that means there is a talent or injury issue. If a team only gets beat by the crap teams, then it's obviously not injuries or talent, it's leadership from the coaches or players themselves.
Believe me, I love these players and Aggie baseball. But looking at the Missouri SEC schedule is sickening, and is in no way acceptable for Aggie baseball. Those three game results are not the result of lack of talent, injuries, or a young roster.

Difficult situations don't include having the preseason #1 team in the country.
Say it wasn't a true #1 team then fine, it's still a pre season top 10 talented team in the country. I'll give you this.
I'll give you the early non con embarrassments. We can explain them away.
I'll even give you inexplicable sweeps during the year, especially compared to the series' we won vs top teams.
But then we let mizzou sweep us at home when everything was on the line. It was the easiest thing to do and not only did we get swept at home, we mostly didn't compete. Mizzou did not beat a single other SEC team all year, but found a way to not just scrape by, but embarrass us in our home stadium 3 games in a row.
No thanks on another year with much less talent than this team has.

Please say you are being sarcastic. This team was a flat out embarrassment to this school. There was zero excuse for how bad they were this season. Early has no idea what he is doing and the top brass at A&M are a bunch of morons for hiring him as the head coach.

This team battled through injuries, a rebuilt roster, and the toughest conference in the country, and still took down elite programs. That's not embarrassment. That's resilience.
Seven players from last year's College World Series team returned. Are you seriously saying that a group who competed at the highest level of college baseball, along with a coach who was right there with them, is an embarrassment to the school? That's crazy. Earley was our hitting coach last year, you don't win if you don't hit - He did that! Maybe we just need a new hitting coach, one that is at Earley's level.
It's easy to talk from the couch, but trust me, playing under that pressure is overwhelming. Coach Earley hasn't even had a full recruiting cycle yet

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?

Sadly, but utterly unsurprisingly, I don't think this is a joke. Never change Texas A&M. Go another 100 years without winning anything.MagnumLoad said:

That's great, I'm glad they do! Earley seems to be a genuinely good person and family guy. Good character, integrity, hard worker, etc. It's hard not to like someone like that.amychestnut said:I agree! The players love him and that is huge! don't forget we lost Sdao too.
