Is this normal?
Starting at 1:15:43… When asked, Earley goes into detail on the struggles of one of his batters. Calls him uncomfortable, struggling, talks about his mechanics, says he’s swinging at the wrong pitches and just needs to hit a ball forward to get goin… then goes and speculates on a player’s injury but also he doesn’t know… then calls out a player *by name* saying he was out of position on a rundown play and he didn’t do it the way he’s been taught. This all just seems way too casual.
 

A few minutes earlier he was going on about Georgia trying to steal signals. Says the Aggies don’t really have fast players to steal bases. It’s like a mini scouting report. Maybe it’s a younger coach thing, and this coach is friends with the interviewers so his guard is down. But man, I’ve never heard a coach talk about internal team stuff like this during the season. Maybe it’s normal, but seems like he’s not quite protecting his guys in some ways. 
-It’s very refreshing and insightful, and I hope Schloss never does this lol, even if I would like to hear why so and so is struggling at the plate. 
 

This Brauny guy wants to sound like a sharp asking about batting and pitching mechanics, but the HC seriously answering those questions with specifics seems so odd 

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

No and I don’t care. 

I’d prefer they keep him awhile.  He’s a jag.  Of course if they replace him, one of two things happens. They hire another jag.  Or they hire a good coach and he leaves as soon as he can.  In the past 12 months, they’ve lost two coaches among the big three sports.  Real programs don’t do that.  They’re losers.  It’s what they do.

I see Olin listed in the link above.  So damn funny when Looch sent him to Coach Schlossnagle’s opening PC.  Olin was dripping with asshurt lol.

That is one ugly broad in your avatar 😉

I can't believe TexAgs has evolved into a legitimate media concern.  I know I'll get dragged for this, but their sets and production are impressive.

I know @Blake Munroe said he was safe, but that antagonistic interview indicates otherwise.  

I don't think he is safe 

He’s safe until they miss the postseason

I was a college baseball coach.  You NEVER hang your players out to dry. Totally chickenshit.

Just wanted to clarify, the TexAgs guy was antagonistic.  Not the way you approach a long-term coach that you would think they would be trying to court favor.

He’s safe. They’ll fire two assistants and keep Earley.

Glad they are keeping him but I wouldn't

I don't think they can afford to fire him and I don't think they can attract a good coach right now.

They’ll owe him around 3.2 mil if they fire without cause.

That's a lot for where they are right now.
