    Are you under the impression that lots of colleges hired HS coaches to run their baseball programs in 1967? When did that become unacceptable?

    It was for sure more common then, especially very successful ones. These guys knew the local landscape, knew the other coaches in the state. You look at a guy like Gustafson, dude had just won like 8 state championships. Kids around the state knew who his teams were. Much easier to recruit back in the 60s with a guy like that.

    Just went back and re-listened to Bobby’s exact quote:

    ”Does the idea that Texas is not making a move prior to the end of the CWS mean that it is a coach in the CWS, thereby Jim Schlossnagle at A&M or one of those guys….at this point I do not think that is the case.”

    I like Bobby. I just think he's giving his opinion here, and I think he's wrong. There's really no other reason I can think of for it to be dragging out to this point, other than that CDC's top candidate is busy. Simple. Now, does that mean CDC will lock that guy up, and that he doesn't have to turn to a plan B guy who is already out of the CWS? No, but if it were a Bakich, it'd be over and done by now.

    I mean, they're kinda not wrong (outside of us being "bottom 10 percent" idiots). If I had a gun to my head and had to give an opinion on whether or not Schloss would leave aggy for Texas right now, I'd say no. It's just not something that happens often at this level. Doesn't mean I don't think CDC isn't going to try/hasn't tried his hardeset, and that the deep friendship they share can't be a factor. I wouldn't be surprised at all.

    Uh….something ain’t quite right in Austin, right now…..but the water is beginning to simmer a little.

    I view it as things are going about as should be expected right now, for those who've accepted that Pierce returning is not the preferred option, and that the preferred option involves someone who is currently still coaching their team in the CWS.

    Same. Make aggy exceed any offer we make to save face. Sky’s the limit. Humiliate their ass.  

    Absolutely. Just a ridiculous amount of money. And also force aggy's AD to start taking Schloss on long, talky walks around the... livestock arena or whatever. Schloss really enjoyed his three hours walks with CDC, I've read.

    I don’t know much about college baseball coaching situations, but how in the hell could Pierce possibly be retained at this point?  The season ended weeks ago and the AD has been completely silent despite unignorable headlines about the head coach’s status.  If there were even the slightest chance Pierce were going to be allowed to return, CDC would have given some measure of support, even if in a way that he could go back on later.  If CDC announced Pierce is coming back after the CWS ends, everyone (recruits/transfers) will know he is on his way out and that CDC missed on whatever coaches they tried to get, which would be disastrous for Texas’s ability to build a roster for next season or get any measure of positive momentum.  Right?

    Inside of the locker room. Tulo. Long Beach. When?
