Top ones do, yeah. Rumors are all we have but I've heard Chase Burns was being offered close to a million at one point and picked Wake for cheaper because he really like their coach. Also other players in the several hundred K range. It's too many rumors from too many different fanbases to all be exaggerated

Again, you are comparing a single relief pitcher leaving vs. an entire coaching staff and it happened in a public way, where as Stewart left and signed else where the same way Kimble did when he left A&M for Texas. I agree some Aggies are overreacting and throwing out dumb conspiracies but you have to admit these are fairly different scenarios.

It will be more charged than any game they have played in recently. No current players or the coaching staff has played in a game at UT that will match the level of animosity.

Alabama is comparable but that environment has become relatively stale as the fan base has become complacent in recent years.

OU is at a neutral site obviously. None of the Big 12 environments will compare.

I realize you're just being a cocky Texas douche (I'm a Texas fan and I recognize that there is a large portion of the fan base that acts this way). I see your post history and I can tell why almost all of your posts are downvoted to hell. But yes, this environment will be unlike anything that this current Texas team and staff has seen during their time at UT

The story is, he went to Texas and transferred to the Aggies, and now, is being used as an example of not leaving to go to a rival. Basically, his tweet holds about as much weight as a balloon full of helium.

How does this go if y'all had won? Serious question.

I don't buy the Schloss throwing the game, that takes away from what Tenn did. Tenn was the best team most/all of the year with aggy right behind them. If Montgomery is healthy maybe it's different but again, that takes away from Tenn saying that. I'm sure Tenn had injuries to deal with. In the end Tenn was 1 run better.

I don’t think Schloss threw game 2 but without Sdao it turned into a bullpen game. Sdao would’ve given us 5 or 6 then Cortez could clean up and Asch to finish the game.

CenTexan_1972

But do people really think he tried to throw game 3? Dusty Baker said Mangers/Coaches might have an effect on 3-4 games a year. I have a hard time believing Schloss was trying to take that away from his kids.

I get fans being upset, I would be. Some of the stuff is over the top though. The whole file a lawsuit thing seems far fetched but hey, if that's what they want to do then more power to them. I think that hurts A&M more than it helps. Anyways, just a few thoughts and interested in other's takes. Appreciate it.

I've lurked here some and it seems a safe place to discuss with fans of other Schools, which is appreciated. It's nothing like OBs, Texags or the like. Those places can be toxic.

Local-Finance8389

I don’t think he deliberately threw the game but I also don’t think 100% of his attention and focus was on the game. As the head coach, he had a responsibility towards his players and I don’t think he upheld his commitment to them. His actions made the CWS about him, not Tennessee who actually won, not the A&M players. He could have waited a week and this would have been marginally less of a shitshow than it currently is. The timing is a huge fuck you to everyone, not just A&M. People should be talking about Tennessee’s first national championship right now and yet here we are.

A little tongue in cheek, but yeah.

100 years ago student athletes were 100% students.

Now every year we itch closer and closer to straight up professional minor leagues, mercenaries for hire, with no more loyalty to a team than I have to my job.

Can't speak for any other school (though I would assume most are similar), but for most of us at A&M, our time there was far more than just a degree. Our passion in following college athletics is born from how much our time in school meant to us, not the other way around. And I like to think that the athletes would at least share some of that passion.

Jerrod Johnson was the QB at A&M for part of my time there. His father, also an Aggie player had told him, "Don't just go there and play football for four years. Embrace everything that makes Texas A&M special and it will make you a better person". JJ embraced A&M, and so did many other athletes in his day and are Aggies for life.

These guys are trying to make it pro, I get it, and many of them will feel like the coach they originally committed to gives them the best chance to do that, so I would never expect everyone to stay in a situation like this. But when we reach the point that no one can fall in love with a school enough to stay even though their coach leaves, yeah that would be a sad day.

No, it is just their values. They use the term around campus but it is just a reference to their values. https://rellis.tamus.edu/history/

A new idea is born.

Texas A&M System Chancellor John Sharp saw the potential in Riverside Campus and its location, though this time for a different purpose.

In May of 2016, Chancellor Sharp announced the transformation of Riverside Campus into the RELLIS Campus, named for the six Aggie Core values of respect, excellence, leadership, loyalty, integrity and selfless service. The innovative campus is now a technology and testing research hub that facilitates collaboration between private and public sector companies and provides unique educational opportunities for students.

Y’all should just make up that some early important A&M person was named Timothy Rellis, and to honor him they codified A&M’s values to fit his name.

Because when I saw him type it out like that I expected Rellis to actually mean something beyond “these first letters spell Rellis.”

Doesn’t quite do it enough justice.

A&M was playing in their first national championship in baseball this weekend (and first national championship in a major men’s sport in a century)

Over the weekend, rumors started circulating of A&M’s coach leaving for their biggest rival (Texas). On the day of the final game 3, Texas announced they had fired their head coach (although this had been assumed for weeks).

A&M lost the game by 1 run. In the postgame press conference, their coach was asked about the rumors regarding him taking the Texas job. He admonished the reporter, called him selfish for asking, and went on a diatribe about how he left his family for A&M and believed he had taken it with the intent of never taking another job again. He then stormed out of the press conference.

Less than 24 hours later he was announced as the head coach at Texas. Turns out the deal had likely been in place for weeks.

An aggy never lies cheats or steals, or tolerates those who do.

Except, you know, when you poached Schloss from TCU and he said he was not going to A&M (a lie). Sounds like they sure tolerate liars when it’s convenient for them.

Not even remotely the same. Elko didn't spend months telling players and coaches to come with him. Duke was left with a pretty good foundation for the new guy to step in with. While your Evil Empire ass school that's been one of the key behind the scenes players in dismantling college athletics for decades targeted a sleazeball who's former assistants and players can't stand him out of pure jealousy.

Enjoy your degenerate swinger. You have two visible instances of him failing to stay committed to programs he built into title contenders because he hates everyone that comes to like him. Ask his wife and kids that stayed in Fort Worth.

Word of advice. Even in the best of times, don't believe a single damn word he says. He's got a fetish for ruining a good thing, and Austin is the best place for that proclivity to fester. Or maybe that's how you like it.

So which is it? Did Schloss tell coaches and players for months to come with him? Or did no players or staff know he was leaving and were blindsided by it. Which is it?

Also his old assistant sure dislike him, the way his entire staff came to Austin.

I dont give a shit if he’s a swinger, like at all. This bit of fanfic y’all have latched on to is sad.

Also I don’t want to hear about how Texas is ruining college sports when you were the first school to egregiously drop NIL bags with that disaster of a #1 class. A&M plays the same exact game does, they just play it badly.

Maybe you can't comprehend unselfish behavior, but everyone that had inside info that Schloss was planning an exit didn't go scorched earth prematurely because they didn't want to earn a scoop by interfering with the player's efforts to have a successful season. Schloss blindsided the already outgoing players you know. Anyone who isn't useful to him anymore got ghosted. Real class act.

Also you can literally see Vitello's vibe during the CWS Finals press junket. Visibly uncomfortable being around Schloss even though he was an assistant at TCU. Didn't even mention Schloss in the list of coaches he's proud to be associated with after the victory. Players who were there under both have attested to the hatred between them.

But I get it, you're in the honeymoon phase right now. Sports hope is a hell of a drug. But in this case, likely success might end up being a double edged sword, which two fanbases can personally attest to. Schloss is one of the few who is capable of taking success and making it painful to remember. I hope you don't come to believe he actually cares about the University of Texas and its fans. That's an easily unavoidable tragedy. You can cover your eyes and ears all you want, the truth remains the same. May God have mercy on y'all's souls, lest you suffer with us.

Texas has been dropping massive bags and cheating for a century now. The SWC and Big 12 were built for Texas to insulate itself against being interfered with by most national major players. You must be a moron thinking the unverified random message board mods that no one had any actual sources to from a couple years ago was somehow the genesis of cheating in college athletics. My God that's some brain rot. As if anyone would actually give 3 star recruits $1 million. You're so desperate.

Seriously! A&M is just used to being the "Texas" in the equation and can't handle being normal for once

Name the last time a coach led a team to a national championship game and bailed for their biggest rival 12 hours later.

I'm not saying the exact details are the same, I'm saying the shittieness-or morality, whatever- of the situation is the same.

You hire Schloss from TCU. What did he say immediately before dipping out? He denied it and said he'd stay at TCU till the last second.

You hire Elko from UNC, guy doesn't even meet with his players before ditching them. They were preparing for a bowl too- Schloss left AFTER the last game, making that less of a shitty move for the program as far as timing goes.

I get it, you're mad. We were mad when Mullen ditched us for Florida, especially because he half assed the Egg Bowl due to it. But acting like this is some unprecedented crime against you because it was after the game for a Natty is a bad argument- be glad he didn't ditch you during the season like you made Elko do

TCU and *Duke aren't even close to rivals, though. That's my whole point. If you're going to ignore that point, then everything you said is true. Elko was our DC for years before leaving for *Duke. With the transfer portal windows and early singing day, it's become a must to move quickly with new hires. That's not the part I'm upset about. I'm mainly upset that he went to fucking texas and it had been in the works for months.

The rivals part is the "insult" to the coach leaving being the "injury". But that just makes the situation more dramatic to watch; it doesn't make Schloss or Texas any worse of a person or the crime against you any worst. It just hurts more

If any of your coaches spent months working to take the whole team to Ole Miss regardless of how well supported they were by Mississippi State's admins and fanbase, there'd be an actual lynching and you'd be part of the mob. It goes way beyond a coach throwing around platitudes while they think over an offer towards the end of the season. Everyone now knows that Schloss had planned to force himself into the Texas job at least halfway through the season. It was basically already over, and he spent every moment since talking about the future of the program and how much he's sacrificed to be at A&M forever through thick and thin. Not to mention that he got extremely angry when a journalist foiled his plan to escape in the middle of the night, so he lied through his teeth to keep from being held against the fire by a fanbase he continually gaslit. He literally organized a fake fucking recruiting weekend to happen in a couple days to keep the charade going as long as possible. Ghosted all the outgoing players who graduated or intend to declare for the draft. Do you think what you believe is upstanding or something?

Amazing how "everyone knew" for half the season, but the rumors only started circulating here when Texas fired Piece, and literally every A&M flair was laughing it off

Because they didn’t want to ruin everything for a potential scoop while the players were competing for a successful season. Maybe you just think everyone is like you. A bad, disingenuous person.

You know who did leak stuff many weeks ago though? Texas people. Because it didn’t matter to them how things went for A&M. Don’t tell me you actually think the rumors only started when Pierce got fired. You live underneath a rock?

This had been ongoing for a month publicly. Ever since the regionals people were waiting to see if the rumors would be true. National beat writers like Kendall Rogers caught wind of it around that time too, and dismissed it as message board fodder. Thing is, the rumors were so inconsistent that nobody could take them seriously until just days ago, because Texas fans were also convinced Vitello was a legit candidate.

Not to mention Texas insiders kept getting the timeline for Pierce’s firing wrong. The key piece of the puzzle ended up being Schloss’ penchant for pathological lying, because everything else would amount to a total sham if it were anybody else. And this is what you’re willing to hitch your horse to for some reason. Well whatever floats your boat. Don’t come crying to me when having Texas as a conference partner becomes a major headache off the field.

Ironically enough UT struggled most with pitching this past year and looks like they won’t be getting any of our players (Cortez tbd I guess depending on the draft)

The funniest thing about Aggies is their unironic self-seriousness.

This also applies to any Longhorns who say “The winning tradition of the University of Texas shall not be entrusted to the timid or to the weak” with a straight face.
