Texas A&M Baseball & Softball discussion on the TexAgs Forum.
Do you think Albers will go after Vitello? The dude has a tough fiery attitude and is probably the beat coach in baseball right now. That was who I was hoping for at Texas.
Nope. He doesn't fit their culture. Honestly, Vitello is a better fit in Austin than Schloss- but Schloss has the chops-- he's just always been coaching the underdog. Augie had an underdog and made them a killer. Schloss just hasn't gotten over the hump, and CDC believes that wearing burnt orange will do the trick. Schloss has 15 years left in him. He should easily put 2-3 titles on the board in that time.
Aggy made the hire of a lifetime getting Schloss. They are going to get OU coach.
So like many of you I work with a few Aggies. I’ve played nice through their run to the national champ series. Patted them on the back and gave them a hug after the loss.
Not a peep today. Tomorrow mornings executive team meeting is going to be epic. I’m wearing burnt orange baby. And I won’t have to say a word.
Would it be too much if I set a framed pic of Schloss in the background? (Zoom call)

I don’t think Vitello is going anywhere. He seems to really like Tennessee. I think certainly there will be calls. If anything he will get Tennessee to push their chips all in because A&M will be looking big, so they will at least make Tennessee match. I think they will pursue Florida coach O’Sullivan as well. Tomorrow I think we will start hearing some names.
For everyone else I know this board has seen its share of meltdowns..Ags are just pissed and rightfully so. This stuff has been probably a done deal for a while. Players are saying they found out through social media. Several are posting some pretty negative crap about him. I have no doubt A&M will offer the world to someone but that isn’t always a good thing. I hope they take a breath and don’t offer stupid money on the wrong guy because you are pissed and want to make a splash.
From r/collegebaseball (grain of salt that’s my only source here) apparently Alberts is A&M’s Steve Patterson:
If the reports coming out the past hour are true yes.
For those unaware the TAMU side is saying that Alberts fired multiple people that were close friends to Schloss and highly involved in baseball operations. Did it almost as soon as he arrived without any discussion with Schloss, no warning, etc.
There are also reports that under Alberts the progress on all the promised baseball facility improvements had stalled. Again I don't know how true this is but it is Aggie insiders putting this out there today. It is their explanation for what opened the door to him leaving. Go be with an AD he knows and loves or keep working for a clown who won't keep his word and ices him out of every decision. If there is any truth to that, and Alberts basically ****ed around and found out, he has to be fired.

The Aggie voice of reason. I feel your angst and appreciation for trying to rise above it through social acceptance, “we all should just get along” frame of mind. Unfortunately my friend things don’t work that way in our world, or especially on this free UT board. Things get ugly here. We love seeing the suffering from those that want us to suffer more. Somehow in the midst of this baseball championship madness UT just pulled the string. It was the greatest changeup against the program that continues to try and find relevance through their weird fan base. They just swung and missed. See you guys in November, or maybe you guys will get a chance against our volleyball team first.
Alberts is a Nebraska boy. I doubt he is anything close to Patterson’s intentional DEI mentality.
So Schloss leaving A&M for Texas makes him an a-hole. So when whoever A&M hires leaves their current school would they be an a-hole too because of what they did? I'm trying to figure out what makes A&M so special that coaches can't leave for other jobs when the season is over. He gave them two of the best teams A&M has ever had in the the history of their University but they still think he owes them something.
They say the timing was bad but what would have happened if they reported Pierce being fired a couple of weeks ago? The speculation and rumors would have been following A&M through the whole tournament and they would have blamed us for that, something may have even leaked out about Schloss which really would have caused a distraction. CDC wanted his new coach to start as soon as his current season was over so this was the timing that worked best for that. CDC had is guy and there was no need for a search so he waited until one day before the season was over and then pushed the ball down the hill. The rumor mill didn't have time to get much momentum during the last game and didn't hurt anything. I think CDC handled it as best as it could have been handled.

Congrats on the splash hire. Going to be an interesting year on the 40 acres for sure.
I wish they could have waited a few days to let the sting of the loss set in, but it is what it is. We're used to stuff like this.

You should play the lottery. Four days ago, I’d have said you were out of your mind. Instead, you’re apparently channeling the Oracles of Delphi. 😳
A&M thinks they can put him in jail because they think he conspired with CDC to throw the World Series. LOL. In reality being that Schloss and CDC are good friends and talk frequently they probably had some hypothetical conversations.
CDC - "if we ever have to move on from Pierce would you be interested?"
Schloss - "Hell yeah!"
The agents took care of the rest.

A&M Stealing FSUs longtime football coach: fine
A&M Stealing TCUs longtime baseball coach: fine
A&M buying an entire recruiting class: fine
A&M Stealing Dukes football coach, assistants, and transfers: fine
Texas stealing A&Ms baseball coach and assistants: literally a crime against baseball and the reason the college sports is collapsing.

Dirtyness can pound sand. CDC is paid to win. He is hiring winners, basketball TBD. If he didn’t, we would burn him at the stake.
Oh he made the right move I’m just saying if this is the move he was going to make and he knew that for awhile should of just fired Pierce after the season instead of letting him hang for two weeks. Would have made it easier on Schols too. Making the move when they did made it pretty obvious that Schols was going to be the guy, and an awkward end to the season for him.
Firing Pierce that early would have only gotten things stirred up more with a bunch of speculation and it would have gave A&M more time to counter. The surprise attack was best.
This is such an exciting time for Texas baseball. We finally got a legit head coach and probably the best young pitching coach in America in Max Weiner. CDC is the man!!!
lol... reading threads like this and how you guys endlessly clown A&M (with an assist from A&M) is really pretty awesome.
I mean its their destiny to always be #2 (or worse) in the state, but its hilarious the new ways that you guys find to embarrass them (and how they embarrass themselves).

It wouldn’t have gotten things started any sooner I’m not saying it would have but this two weeks of awkwardness where he’s still the coach but everyone knows he’s getting fired wasn’t really needed if CDC knew he was making the move.
Agreed. Hell Pierce knew he was getting fired. I’m pretty sure when we got donkey punched by that powerhouse program that is UT Rio Grande Valley, not even his ego could convince him he was coming back.
CDC and Schloss were going to look bad either way. The way they handled it was the least distracting way for aggy baseball who were in the midst of their greatest season ever.
