Emory Ballard, as I recall he brought the wishbone from Texas to Texas A&M, among other things.
isnt he credited to be the creater of the wishbone

Yeah something like that, I think.  It's actually before my time as well but I read occasionally. :)

It’s being reported that Schloss is actually considering the UT offer. That would be wild really. Has there ever been a case where one HC becomes the HC at either A&M or UT?

Yeah it sure would be interesting.  I'm not sure ags can hate sips any more than they already do, but if this were to happen, we might find out...

So reports are that he’s taking the job. Interesting. Not sure of any other coach in the history of D1 who left one in-state school as HC to go to their direct rival. 

Not counting things like Chris Beard at Texas Tech to Texas. I’m talking OU—>Texas, Mich —>Ohio st type move. 

One game from winning it all. It sorta pisses me off because it has to be 100% clear that at the very least he knew he might be leaving and his mind was not fully focused on the finals. I hate to think that this distraction cost us our first championship in the Big 3 since 1939. 

But whatever. I say don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

UT fired their coach yesterday. Game 3 of the World Series. I don’t think any of us are naive to think that at the very least he was talking to them. 

No way was he 100% focused on the task at hand when he was talking to another school about another job. 

We lost 5-6. Total run differential-15-16 over 3 games. 

Game 3 on Monday. New job on Tuesday. He knew.

I'm sure he knew.

just not sure he was distracted enough to cost a game or the series

I'm guessing he wanted to win very badly and was derned focused on the task at hand

I could be wrong

It's silly to think he didn't want to win.   Even at Texas, he may never have such a chance again.

I get that ags are upset, but no need to act silly about it.

TCU fans were upset when he left and went to TAMU 3 years ago, too.

That’s not what I’m saying. Nobody is questioning his desire to win, and you’re putting words in my mouth. 

Now tell me you’re 100% focused on the tasks at hand, at the same time you’re planning your exit ?  It’s simple, because there is no way you can be. We lost by 1 run. Reports are that the assistant head coaches are making the move as well. No way around it, it’s a distraction. 

Your head coach and 3-4 assistants, going into the WS finals knowing they’re taking another job. Even if they’re 99% locked in on the task at hand, that’s not 100%. 

I get it that all fans are upset when they lose a great coach. Hell, at least A&M waited until Fisher kinda sucked when we swiped him.  

I’m laying this directly in the hands of our new AD, Trev Alberts.

Your catcher missed a tag that cost you one run.  Schloss had nothing to do with that.

But you're gonna feel whatever you're gonna feel, and you should.  I'm sure I'm the last poster on this board you really want to hear from right now, which is fine.

Well there are certainly rumors floating that Alberts got crosswise with Schloss early on when he dismissed a staffer that was supporting baseball, without even conversing with Schloss about it.  But there's no telling if that's true or not.

But he was not the HFC at UT.
