All waisted words. Nothing will happen or be reviewed till the end of the season. Agree this type conversation hurts recruiting as the season progresses.

You are correct about it hurting recruiting. But it's going to happen, everywhere, not just here, when you put a product on the field like we have done for the past 14 months. And that product does infinitely more harm to recruiting than any words.


In what way is our recruiting hurting? Whether you want Earley gone or not our recruiting has not remotely been hurting. Have you looked at the kids who have committed and/or signed?

You may want to talk to some folks in the high school baseball world. The word is out on this coaching staff.

Sure, but that's not because of conversations on texags.

Considering I'm in that world right now with a c/o 2028 son who's starting to get recruited and know people who have kids currently committed and/or signed I think I'm pretty well informed.

And 11th in the country. But unless you're being disingenuous you know that rankings in baseball are notoriously difficult due to guys going in the draft.

Besides, Earley & co. have actually brought in higher-rated players/classes than Dewshnagle did here.

Yeah, I'm guessing the HS coaches I know and kids in the '26 & '27 classes signed/committed, along with their coaches who rave about the staff are just lying to my face. Same for the HS directors of the summer showcase programs who have kids committed/signed.

We had 8 players drafted AFTER the season and none of them the injured guys. But, nothing will change your mind at this point.

Are you in the high school baseball world? I sure am, and sure haven't heard anything like that. You think we are getting the commitments we are getting while they all think our staff sucks and is gone? Quite the hypothesis there...

And because this is an entirely new team, including new coaches and analytics staff.

I'm open to having my mind changed - I hope we end up doing so well we build a statue of Earley outside the stadium gates.....but I need to see it to believe it.

I'm sure we'll see. Much like the rest of high school baseball and even worse select ball, every parent is an expert. That goes for myself, too.

The injury excuse doesn't hold up when the result of the season was missing the tournament completely and being 8 games below .500 in SEC play.

The injuries would've been a great excuse as to why the preseason #1 team failed to host a regional. Missing the tournament completely was a colossal failure, and I'm sure the coaching staff would agree.

Trev was also kicking the tires around moving on from Earley last year. Reading the tea leaves from Kendall and others we reached out to Vitello and O'Connor again. There was that awkward week between the season ending and Trev announcing Earley was back. That wasn't just a coincidence, with the heat that was on Earley at the time, you make that announcement the day after the season is over if that was your intention from the jump.

This year's team looks much improved, but that bar was set very low. The last two weekends have been disappointing and feel like more of the same. These next two weekends are massive because they will be the two easiest series we have left. Can't afford to not win them both.

Mississippi State last year as well. Firing Lemonis a month early may not have helped them land O'Connor, but it definitely didn't hurt.

This isn't in relation to our situation as of today. I just think a set rule of not firing coaches until the season is completely over is outdated. When you know you know.

Pretty sure they had the new guy locked up prior to doing the firing.

He very well might have, and that goes even further in the direction of not giving the sitting coach the full season before making a decision. It's unfortunate for the party getting fired but that is the most efficient way to do it IMO. Eliminates the possibility of fan speculation running wild with pie in the sky candidates too.

Every coach we fire is well compensated. No reason to lose any sleep on that one.

This is logic. Austin Ag, I think it is generally best to let the season play out. So much chaos generated mid season. But sometimes a mid season change is warranted. Just don't think you can stick to a rule.

Midseason firings can certainly be justified but a top-20 ranking and our only losses being to top-10 teams isn't really justified. Even with last season.

Winning 10-1 really made you feel like we shook off some demons.

So this is pretty much the opposite of that
