****Offical Texas Baseball Thread****

I more or less agree with BBA on his take from the standpoint of it potentially being neither. They’ve both built power house programs over the last few years. Short of money whipping them, whet do they gain by leaving whet they’ve built to go rebuild our program?
While I would LOVE it for most aggy’s I know, I would kind of feel bad for BBA and JoeAg. They both seem like standup, non Cultish dudes.

Never give a rats a$$ for aggy or sooners or any other rival. Money talks and bull$hit talks.

It could be neither but I feel like if it was going to be someone else the move would have been made last week… we’ll see.
 
The more I dig into potential hires, the more I love Elander (associate HC/hitting and catching coach/recruiting coordinator from Tennessee). The parallels with Sark are incredible;

  • Top assistant in the game who has coached under two greats, both of whom are currently battling it out for a natty in Elander’s case
  • Could be coming to Texas directly off a natty win that they helped orchestrate, revolving around high-octane scoring and a dominant regular season
  • One of the best recruiters in the nation
  • Built the most prolific and consistent offense in both the country and their program history. Tennessee’s hitting has been unreal these last few years despite constantly having to reload
  • Was offered and rejected multiple HC gigs waiting for the proper program
  • Served as the interim coach for their powerhouse program when the primary HC was unavailable (in this case, because Vitello’s temper gets him thrown out a ton lmfao)
  • Beloved by the program’s fans
Vitello and Schloss are of course much better hires on paper, but I frankly don’t see either of them as realistic options. Would love to be proven wrong, but wanted to emphasize that Elander is an amazing choice too.

I know I’m in the minority but I’d prefer somebody like Elander. The game has changed. I want a guy that can adapt to the portal and NIL.

I couldn’t have told you much about Elander before this series, but watching their approach at the plate was impressive. Yeah you have to have dudes but they attacked strikes looking to hurt you. My sons and I discussed if Schloss left then that is who we wanted. As good as Schloss is it was frustrating to watch the approach of working counts and always hitting in holes. If it’s your pitch hammer the damn thing! Elander would be a good hire as well.

I was having dinner last night at Schlotzky’s and the cashier told me our new coach is Schloss.

Done deal!
 
I was just grabbing breakfast at McDonald's by campus and the person cleaning the toilets while I was using the restroom said, it's a done deal as well!
My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Schloss meeting with CDC at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious.
 
Here we go gentlemen. Take it for what you think this is worth.

Saw this posted on Texags from a pretty respected poster. Looks like it's a done deal. Heard it here first lol.

"I'm going to get burned at the stake for even posting this, I know. I have friends that are deeply, deeply connected to Texas baseball.

The short of it is - Schloss is gone. Expect it to be announced tomorrow morning. 10 yr/$32M.

Expect us to go hard after Skip @ OU. Skip will take the job in a heartbeat and plans to lobby for the job as well."

Okay so even if it isn’t Schloss, how much are we enjoying the aggy meltdown? The aggy tears are gonna be seasoning my brisket for the rest of the year.

Ive heard the same thing....a connected Ag in the metroplex has told me that it is a done deal, A$M knows he is gone.
 
Aggies are about to go more into meltdown mode when they see several of their key returning players are coming over with Schlossnagle. That’s the next hammer to drop later down the road.
