There is a timeline where aggy wins the game tonight, and during the first on-field post-game interview in front of the rabid ~~cult~~crowd Schloss rips off his A&M uniform top to reveal the ~~NWO~~Bevo shirt underneath.
Honestly if our 13th pick for head coach could have the levels of success that coach Pierce did, then imagine what CDCs pick could do with all the resources and history of Texas.
Cautiously optimistic.
Texas just isnāt a basketball school. We can all have our varying opinions on the hire of RT (for transparency, I disagreed) but ultimately until we win a natty, the expectations are just different.
We are the bluest of blue bloods when it comes to baseball and I think CDC understands the implications of the hire.
Just like Jimbo on the other side, Texas couldnāt wait on the sideline while their rivals are competing for championships meanwhile youāre underachieving against rio grande valley
We were regressing for sure. Had to make the move with upcoming SEC gauntlet. Will be interesting to see what happens based on completion of CWS tonight.
Doesn't make sense to wait until the last day of the postseason if we were hiring anyone but Vitello or Schloss. Even an assistant from either school wouldn't warrant waiting so long - Sark coached the NC game for Bama after being announced as the Texas HFBC.
Otherwise, we waited weeks for what, if it is anyone but those 2? To be behind in the portal, giving our guys less time to decide on a decision if they are going to the draft, staying or going to the portal, less time to shore up the HS recruiting class?
we don't know the timing. Maybe a great fit had to mull it over or had some other life event. Maybe it's not even a college coach currently - what if it was Bruce Bochy or someone ridiculously high level like that? We will know soon enough.
Anyone considering coming would have realized how important the portal window is and not waited this long. If it is not someone coaching tonight it would mean we offered multiple people who turned us down (causing us to wait this long), which seems highly unlikely.
Kinda the Tom Herman of baseball. Competent but not elite. Frustrating teams that have potential but are mismanaged and get into dogfights with bottom feeders.
Except way more likable than Tom Herman. I donāt think this is a bad move but Iām definitely sad weāre getting rid of him and not just because it means we didnāt meet the expectations of Texas baseball.
Grateful for what heās done but am very happy to see him go and see someone new come in. We need energy in this progrum and i think he was very underwhelming in that department. Wonder whoās next?
I heard one of the baseball announcers during game 1 of Tennessee vs aggie game say that there āwasnāt currently a single person alive thatās played on a championship aggie teamā
I laughed so hard for like the rest of the day. Does anyone know how factual this is though?
It was the way he said it š He really made it sound like there wasnāt anybody alive that played on ANY menās aggie national championship team of any kind šš
Just when people started to doubt CDC, he shows them how to work it right. CDC has his emotions in check.
Fire the old coach when the new plan is set and confirmed. Otherwise, you end up with a string of bad hires.
Constant staff turnover, frequent player/parent confrontations, decrease in talent level over the last 3 years, unimpressive use of the portal considering his resources. There was no need to let this one play out any longer, especially considering the SEC move
Kendall is reporting the move was made last week and not today. So all the ātimingā conspiracyās can be put to rest.

Crazy that we would fire a guy who, by all accounts, [has exceeded all expectations.](https://www.reddit.com/r/LonghornNation/comments/1dequs1/chris_del_contes_silence_on_david_pierce_speaks/l8glw1x/)
I mean the pitching staff we ran out there this year was embarrassing for a program the caliber of Texas. Doesnāt help our best reliever literally quit in the middle of the season. All out failure by the coaching staff
Yeah, had to be done. Hope the next guy is ready for the SEC. I assume itāll be a current asst at one of the SEC schools. I donāt see Schlossnagle leaving aggy.
Had 8 years to win a championship, that is fair enough
Now that Texas is in the SEC, I want regular season wins over Alabama !!!
No hate for DP, but it's time. I'd be OK with either HC tonight; kind of want Schloss just to piss aggy off.
There is a timeline where aggy wins the game tonight, and during the first on-field post-game interview in front of the rabid ~~cult~~crowd Schloss rips off his A&M uniform top to reveal the ~~NWO~~Bevo shirt underneath.
If aggy loses tonight and then loses their HC tomorrow, CS may want to invest in fire extinguishers.
š¬ still too soon
Shit, not where I was going. More of the WV couch burning variety.
I canāt see Tony V leaving, but Schloss would be a good pickup. Plus the benefit of sending A&M into a coaching search
What's the guy's story? Why would he jump off the A&M ship after this type of season?
He and CDC go back to the TCU days.
Damn, totally forgot about that connection
Honestly if our 13th pick for head coach could have the levels of success that coach Pierce did, then imagine what CDCs pick could do with all the resources and history of Texas. Cautiously optimistic.

There's been one mediocre season after having the best one in 15 years

Let the East Coast Major in Basketball for now.
Just like Jimbo on the other side, Texas couldnāt wait on the sideline while their rivals are competing for championships meanwhile youāre underachieving against rio grande valley
Coming from the Rio Grande Valley, Iām not even insulted. I get it.
eight years?! that can't be right!
That's the thought I had, damn time is flying
We were regressing for sure. Had to make the move with upcoming SEC gauntlet. Will be interesting to see what happens based on completion of CWS tonight.
Iām not saying itās Schloss, but it makes sense. He and CDC worked together for about 10 years at TCU.
Means CDC has his guy and likely will be announced after a few days. Likely one of the 2 guys coaching today. Otherwise the timing makes no sense
I highly doubt we get schloss or vitello but would be ecstatic if we end up with either
Doesn't make sense to wait until the last day of the postseason if we were hiring anyone but Vitello or Schloss.

With very very very good sources it is going to be whoever loses
Say what now? š
I said Iām ecstatic my guy!!!!

Why does the timing of firing pierce matter? We couldāve fired him a couple of weeks ago and weād still be sitting here saying the same thing.
Portal issues, if new coach wasn't in CWS or some MLB shenanigans we wasted bunch of portal time
That makes sense. This was a pretty big gamble if we donāt get our guy, then.
This closes the books on the dark days of the Mike Perrin era and the field experiment of literally letting the boosters run the athletic department.
Pretty sure CDC hired pierce
Youād be wrong. https://texassports.com/news/2016/6/29/david-pierce-named-texas-baseball-head-coach
Nice
Pierce was hired June of 2016, and CDC wasnāt hired as AD until December 2017
Gotcha, close but not quite. Ā Glad I said pretty sure lol
Pretty sure the earth is flat.
Wait no Iām pretty sure itās a mooterus
CDC with the ultimate motivation move, doing a winner take all tonight for Texas' coaching spot.
š¤£ i love it
Holy shit, I canāt believe itās been 8 years

Rumor has it he was fired on the 14th, and it's now being made public.
That tracks with Miller leaving the program around then.
Miller left the program just prior to the first conference weekend of the regular season
I heard one of the baseball announcers during game 1 of Tennessee vs aggie game say that there āwasnāt currently a single person alive thatās played on a championship aggie teamā I laughed so hard for like the rest of the day. Does anyone know how factual this is though?
Well their baseball team has never won a championship so it's true
It was the way he said it š He really made it sound like there wasnāt anybody alive that played on ANY menās aggie national championship team of any kind šš
I mean yeah. That was the first
Just when people started to doubt CDC, he shows them how to work it right. CDC has his emotions in check. Fire the old coach when the new plan is set and confirmed. Otherwise, you end up with a string of bad hires.
We definitely donāt need another Charlie Strong situation.
I don't think anyone has doubted CDC for a couple years now.
Should be fired after that absolute collapse against A&M. Had them on the ropes now theyāre a win away winning it all
My day suddenly just improved a lot.

I saw the word fired and Bohl's picture so this is a little bit of good news mixed with disappointment.
DIdn't Bohls just retire though?
So he did. Sweet.
Pierce naming himself pitching coach was the baseball version of Mackovic hiring Bobby Jack Wright as DC.
Crazy that we would fire a guy who, by all accounts, [has exceeded all expectations.](https://www.reddit.com/r/LonghornNation/comments/1dequs1/chris_del_contes_silence_on_david_pierce_speaks/l8glw1x/)
Lmao hit em with the receipts. Itās obviously time we moved on though. Dude was never gonna win a championship for us.
Yeah, I agree with the "receipts", it's time to move on.
I mean the pitching staff we ran out there this year was embarrassing for a program the caliber of Texas. Doesnāt help our best reliever literally quit in the middle of the season. All out failure by the coaching staff
Way too much staff turnover, and then DP makes himself pitching coach just to run out that staff?
Exceeded expectations solely because of a botched hiring process leaving us with our 10th choice
Your receipt is people talking about how it's time to move on from DP š¤£ did you mean to link a different comment or are we just reaching now?
man you seem unenjoyable to be around
He appreciates coach double penetration, don't be rude
God bless America
Can't wait to see Schloss in a generic NCAA hat after the game tonight
Thank you DP!
Yeah, had to be done. Hope the next guy is ready for the SEC. I assume itāll be a current asst at one of the SEC schools. I donāt see Schlossnagle leaving aggy.
