How is that no fault of Trev? Who is in charge of ensuring our coaches have the resources they need to succeed?twk said:Quote:

I don't think we were in the same neighborhood with regard to what we were offering and what CDC was offering, through no fault of Trev.

According to Texas, Troy Tulowitzki will make a $200K base salary as the UT baseball team's assistant/hitting coach. That is what the Longhorns were set to pay Michael Earley before he took the A&M job.

Tulowitzki made over $160 million during his lengthy MLB career. #HookEm

I don't blame Trev for hiring Earley. He was put in a pretty ****ty situation because of POS. I don't necessarily blame him for the contract either - that's what it took to secure Earley. HOWEVER, I blame him for this 2026 season. How someone can watch last season play out with Mizzou as the cherry on top, and NOT make a change is inexcusable. I don't care about what we would have owed Earley. Trev has a chance at redemption if he fires Earley this season (or after). If not maybe Trev needs to go.

The contract is the only reason he's still here. So if you're going to assign blame to Trev, that's where it lies.
What he does with Early has 0 impact on his job security here. As long as Elko is winning football games, Trev is safe.

This is last year's list but he wasn't in the top 15
According to this he started at $900k last year and will get a +$50k bump each year, so he's at $950k this year. I can't imagine he's making any of the bonus incentives.

His buyout would be the balance of this year's salary + $1M for 2027 and $1,050,000 for 2028
Bucee needs to get involved with Nil as his wallets getting fat from stores in SEC country. He's got to go

Seems like Earley is always one pitch behind relating to in-game strategy. Pitchers are constantly being pulled AFTER giving up the back-breaking hit, despite evidence that they don't have it together on the mound.
Related: how could Earley not even think about warming up the pen on Sunday while Sims was sitting in the dugout for half an hour in the bottom of the 5th? With a 16 run lead and a warm arm growing cold, that was a disaster waiting to happen.
Then you have our pitchers throwing belt-high and up for 18 innings the first two days with solid winds blowing straight tf out.
Earley is constantly reacting instead of thinking ahead.

We should hire Sabin. Steve Sabins that is, WVU head baseball coach with Texas roots. May be too early in his coaching career to target, but he is a fantastic coach.
I know you said "Texas roots" and not experience, but there doesn't seem to be a lot? Did he actually go to HS in Texas? I see "born in Austin"'and one year of coaching at Angelina, but not much else?Miles Finch said:ReelAg6 said:

With Sims yesterday.. he probably has a certain number of pitches that he and each pitcher has/ needs to throw each outing to keep their arm and stamina going throughout the season… i know when I was pitching our coach did that with us pitchers… no mater the game
Situation if we pitched it was always for a certain time/ number of pitches …( unless of course you were getting rocked by the other team) but in general i would assume its something similar

I did learn that Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University is a thing though and I didn't know that before today.

That's certainly what he was doing, but you could have him go throw in the pen after he's done, if necessary, in order to do that. He was not effective at all coming off the break and that was easy to predict.
I've got no problem running him out there, but I would have had someone getting loose at the start of the inning. Maybe you don't want Freshcorn getting hot (although I don't see why) if you were hoping to just throw him one inning (again, not sure I see the reason for that), but, if that's the case, I have to think there might be someone down in the pen who would like to be in a position to step in, and, at worst, face a couple of hitters before Freshcorn could get warm.
It didn't end up being a big deal, but if Georgia had scored enough to extend the game, it could have been more of a problem.

Tennessee hired Elander to succeed Vitello, also without prior HC experience. Checked the deets to compare. 5 years, $1M AAV. But holy cow, if they fire him, they only owe him 25% of his remaining salary. In what world did we need to fully guarantee all of Earley's salary? Kendall is right, no school is as stupid with contracts as we are.
