Lost their super bowl vs LSU this weekend so I’m not surprised by this move

No reason for TAMU to suck at baseball


They don’t really. This wasn’t a good year/team but A&M has been a decent program.

This idea A&M is entitled to be elite in men’s sports well the proof is out there that is BS.

If y'all are seriously considering Mainieri then Bjork should be fired

Darlin, I only wish dropping a series to LSU was the reason.

Technically, it wasn't a move as his contract expired. A move would have been to retain him.

A&M could have swept LSU and he'd still be gone.

You’re right. It’ll probably be Van Horn.

No you’re not.

This is baseball, not football. Great coaches who are entrenched at their current programs aren’t coaching for a huge pay day and schools aren’t in a coaching salary race. The investment comes in facilities at major programs and quality of life. There aren’t any baseball coaches who are nomads like in football. Just look across baseball...The great programs have coaches who have long tenures. Vitello being the outlier, but all sign point to him staying where he is unless LSU makes a move.

The highest tier in baseball coaches is $1-$1.5 million. Childress was making $800k. “Huge raises” will flat out not happen like you seem to think it will.

Good luck with that

Can’t imagine there are many programs out there whose baseball coaches have had longer tenures than Texas A&M’s.

Money will always be an issue.

Childress is the 3rd winningest coach in A&M baseball history.

Of course there have only been 3 coaches so...

No it won’t. Again, this isn’t football. You’re expectations are extremely too high here.

You're the joke. ATM is destined to be irrelevant in baseball
