Normally, I think head coaches should get at least two years, but a very disappointing season of missing the SEC tournament warrants firing Michael Earley after just one year. The SEC's 13 teams in the tournament are two more than its then-record 11 that made it in 2024. Sadly, we joined Missouri and South Carolina as the only 3 SEC teams that failed to make the tournament because we got swept by Missouri at home and lost all 3 games by 3+ runs each. It's even more perplexing how Missouri outscored us by a combined 23-8, including 22-2 in the last 23 innings (8-0 in the last 5 innings of Game 1, 4-1 in Game 2, and 10-1 in Game 3).

Then, Missouri gets swept by Mississippi State at home and lost all 3 games by 10+ runs each. Mississippi State outscored Missouri by a combined 50-11. Consequently, Missouri finished with the historically worst SEC record of 3-27 in the 30-game era that began in 1996. The previous worst seasons belonged to Vanderbilt (5-24, 2000), Georgia (5-23, 2010), and Alabama (5-24-1, 2017).

Think about how bad losing to Missouri is, even if there is ever another worst team. The best the team can do is tie for worst loss because it's a 3 game series. Any win would qualify as a better series win. We now and forever own the worst series loss in the history of the SEC. So of course Early gets 3 more years.

We lost the semifinal to LSU, no?

If that was a quarterfinal, my mistake, we tied for 5th and the bracket is getting even dumber.

LSU lost in the semifinals or final 4 if you will.

If you did not know that one. I'm surprised you have so much interest in this forum.

There's 16 teams, correct?

That's an even 4 round single elimination bracket.

Round 1 9-16 played each other, round 2 5-8 played the remaining teams, round 3 1-4 played the remaining teams (this is the quartes), round 4 is semis, & then the final.

Not really, I thought the format was pretty good. You should be rewarded with byes for having a successful season

is this for real?

If this is the type of people who want the coach gone and dont even understand the SEC bracket set up then I dont know what to say about opinions without looking at information

and once again I am not saying he needs to stay or go...not my call but if this is the average level of our fanbase interaction then maybe Texags doesnt know enough to make even a decision on what cereal to have for breakfast

They didnt screw it up. It's set up for the top teams to be rewarded for their regular seasons and give their arms a break before the postseason, not to be equitable in the eyes of message board warriors.

This board more than others seems to feel a kinship with the team which blinds some to reality. The coaches and players (in this era) are here for the money. Don't get attached to them. The fact we might be sweating some leaving proves they don't give a F about us or our school. He failed. Make a change even if you bought the hat.
This is dumb. If they didn't give a F about the school they wouldn't be doing things like playing the day after getting surgery. And several of these guys aren't making much more than what covers their tuition.

Early needs to go but don't pretend to know why the players are here. You have no clue

After consulting TexasRebel and much algebra and reflection. It is now my understanding the Aggies won the SEC tournament and should have received the Autobid.

That's not how brackets work.

Or do y'all agree with ChatGPT that we missed the SEC tournament?

LaViolette made it clear he played for Earley in the post game.

You're blind to the reality. If they were here for noble reasons and love of A&M we wouldn't be worried about any of them leaving.

You mean the play in games to the 64-bracket?

Or the 128-bracket with 60 byes?

He's also made it clear on his social media in the past that he loves A&M, thinks we're the best fans in the country and has encouraged recruits to come here. So what's your point?

If he's changed his tune, it's only because that loyalty was rewarded with a lot of vitriol when he struggled this year.

We would have missed the SEC tournament under last year's tournament format which took the top 12.

The double and single byes are good resume boosting for the bubble teams, so the SEC can possibly have a lower seed win a couple of games instead of instantly getting bounced in the 1st round.
