This exact time 2026 if we don't make a regional

You mean 2027 after we have missed regionals 3 years in a row. There are a lot of BMA's who think Earley is a really nice stand up guy. We aren't very quick to learn in our athletic department.

If that happens, we need to be gutted and hanged

These threads are absolutely tiresome…..this team fought hard. Did they have some head scratching performances….yes…but they played hard for their coach right to the end. Hope Earley is back. I'm a fan of his and the team.

This team fought hard intermittently during the season. Other times, 3/4 of Missouri weekend, they barely showed up. And in the first third of the season, they spent a lot more of the time as no shows than fighting hard.

Silly. We aren't getting a new baseball coach.
There are at least 2 tam coaches replaced before Early will be.



There won't be a head coaching change in baseball until everyone who posts on this board learns to spell Earley.

would there be any savings in going without an ad for a couple of years? a void would be preferable to active bad management.

You know autocorrect is standard nowadays and Earley is very unusual?

Well, to be fair to us, we fought back

You weren't watching tonight if that your first thought after the game.

Inconsistency sucks, but this team fights. We have no idea how good Earley is yet.


Then why'd you hire him in the first place?

If we didn't make a regional with this roster, I'm extremely skeptical of our chances next year. But I agree that Earley probably isn't going anywhere until next year.


I don't think this roster is as nearly as good as we thought it would be. There was no depth.

To answer the OP question, in a couple years when we finally realize our program is going backwards and light years behind sip, LSU, Tenn etc and we have missed out on all of the hot coaching candidates by one year.

Why would KR post this on X if Earley is certain to return? Is it merely click bait?

Yeah. They have been sooo great the past 20 years.

I am sure Earley is a great guy...he's just not a good coach. All the confusion and mind numbingly questionable in game decisions throughout the season including last night.
Never have seen that before.
Managing your job like this in the private sector gets you fired every damn time....even if you have a couple of decades of experience...more so if you're a rookie. You get reassigned or punted.
It's time to punt.

Getting swept by their old coach and the worst team in SEC isn't the kind of "fight" we need.

Pierce had a better run in 8 years than any coach in the history of our program other then Schloss. We put our coaches on the outfield wall they fire theirs with higher expectations

We aren't getting a new baseball Coach for next season. All TAMU Coaches are going to have remarkable longevity until Jimbo is paid off.

In the interim, I seriously doubt PTB are gonna throw millions at non-revenue sports when we need every single penny we can scrimp together to compete with Sip in football NIL spending.


Ffs... jimbo is paid off. All of the funds have already been secured and allocated.


And that's a lot of money that could have been used elsewhere!!

You can only go to the well so many times...

Make another deal with the terrorists if we have to. We can't keep earley just because of his buyout

No one's arguing Schloss is not a great coach. Pierce was average. Did good in an average Big 12. Always avoided SEC teams in regionals and even super regionals to an extent to get to Omaha where of course he lost to SEC teams.

He's kind of like what Kash did in the Big 12 and anverage against the SEC.

So like I said, they were not great the past 20 years.

Schloss is a great coach so we shall see if he can do better there than he did here. TBD

It amazes me how many guys are asking why do you think earley is not coming back.

Well clue one (and this is a big one) is that, maybe the college baseball news guy is saying he is not coming back. This guy is also a former student who very likely has the connections to know his status (more so than anyone posting on these threads outside of staff I bet).

I am not sure why people think he would just be making this up. He has also been consistent. I remember him tweeting about earley's job before the mid conference play win streak (you know after the horrible non-conference and 1-9 conference start).

The second clue (at least to me) is that texags staff is mum. Yeah they don't comment but they also will imply someone is safe and not allow multiple threads speculating on coach's job stay active, unless we are at the end.

But yes, the earley is not coming back crowd is just making **** up and throwing it against the wall.

Earley is done and we'll make a big hire. The money is there and always will be. Baseball is too important to A&M

If he's back he won't be retained if we miss the field of 64 again , Making the field of 64 is a low bar. Miss the field twice in a row time to go look for a new coach

I did not see a comment from him on his main X feed. No idea if he said something on D1 podcast.

Is that really self loathing? I think its loathing for a historically incompetent athletic department that has never been able to win big in any major sport since WWII.

This whole Kash feasted on weak big 12 pitching to explain away his season is weird to me when we have Wyatt Henseler on our roster hitting like .320 and Hayden Schott his like .330 last year

Nah, I'm good with myself and my comment. Sips fired a coach that had taken them to 3 CWS (and recently). That wasn't good enough so they went and hired someone that gave them a better shot at winning a title. We are probably going to keep a coach that managed the most disappointing season of Aggie baseball and maybe the worst overall. That's not self loathing. Its fact.

The problem was keeping Earley at this time boils down to this simple reality:

It is highly unlikely that we could do much worse in CONFERENCE than he did this year. So even the most tepid improvement next year will be seen as a complete turnaround and win for the program and we will keep this albatross on our neck for another year.
