Everyone that said Schloss was a done deal need to be called out.

[MaroonFlounder]

In reality. You guys don?t know shit.

[MagicDawg]

The board will melt from now until the announcement.

[preachermatt83]

Agreed.

[preachermatt83]

I'm convinced no one on here knows squat anymore

[KOdawg1]

I'm normally not one to shoot down messengers, but I agree.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Where is BrickCitydawg?

[MaroonFlounder]

I think it was Marketing Bully that was so certain it was Schloss.

[RocketDawg]

It always pays to take whatever those "in the know" say with a grain of salt. If someone claims to have inside information and be in the know, they most likely don't and are not.

[RezDog7]

Where is BrickCitydawg?

He’s busy shooting bricks in his driveway.

[MarketingBully]

This shit isn’t on me. I was going by what everyone else was going on and reading the signs. I never said I had inside sources but it’s obvious that this Athletic Department set up a smokescreen for Schloss and now we know it’s someone else. I’ve always wanted McDonnell personally.

[Jarius]

Most information on here comes from 247 and is repackaged to make it look like there is a source. It?s comical, but some people just want you to think they have ?sources?.

You can have the best source in the world but if someone changes their mind after weighing it over, that doesn't mean your source is wrong. We are dealing with human beings here.

[Hambone]

I just love how adamant people are about knowing things are a done deal.

[mparkerfd20]

**** Schloss with a rusty pipe

[CadaverDawg]

Supposedly he had told recruits he was our new coach. If true, that's some BS on his part. That being said, I hope Cohen doesn't F this up

[msstate7]

Yep. I think our side believed it was schloss bc cohen believed it. We got left at the altar. Thinking we have been negotiating today with McDonnell is ridiculous imo... Louisville is playing today. I say no way of the schloss, McDonnell, and Corbin group. Cohen is gonna look foolish for those multiple CWS comments

[Todd4State]

I'm not sure that is true.

People just need to chill out and let this play out. (Not you Cadaver- just people in general.)

[maroonmania]

Anyone who thinks ANY coaching hire is a done deal until the coach is at the press conference being introduced as coach should know better. ESPECIALLY if you are trying to hire another sitting P5 HC who is popular at his current school. This is new territory for us, Mullen and Moorhead and Cannizaro were all assistants. Howland was out of a coaching job altogether. While our baseball job is a good one its no easy deal pulling a big time HC from another P5 school and we shouldn't expect it to be. That's why calling it a 'done deal' was never in the cards until the announcement. We've never had to deal with a situation where the guy we are trying to hire for our HC job is getting a major counteroffer from the other side.

This is most plausible explanation to me, and why I think people predicting McDonnell is just crazy. We thought we had schloss. You don't back in to a guy like McDonnell

[MarketingBully]

Hell no, you’re posting damn it! We love you here. Just because some in our fanbase are assholes and can’t wait for people to be wrong doesn’t mean you need to quit posting. There were some in our fanbase that couldn’t wait for this to be wrong so they could gloat and call people out. That’s one of the reasons why we don’t win anything at a high level. It’s because our fanbase does this I told you so shit and we don’t all pull in the same direction. Long story short you are one of the best posters on this board. Please continue to post!

[confucius say]

1. Schloss agreed in principle and we waited too damn long to finalize and it bit us in the ass.

2. Schloss was a smokescreen like Rosebowl implied on the Boneyard and Cohen had his man all along.

Knowing John Cohen, it's hard for me to believe he dropped the ball and waited too long to finalize the deal. Possible, and Cohen will kick himself if he waited just to prevent a distraction and it blew up on him.

And as far as saying who you are, if you are a preacher at longino,you are a joke. Period. Carry on. Only thing you are worse at than preaching is posting.

Why would schloss no comment and retweet stuff on Twitter if he wasn't serious? I'm not buying the 2nd theory. I think schloss just changed his mind or played us for more money from tcu

Good point. Unless Cohen led him to believe he was the guy and really it was McD all along. If you want the smokescreen to work, you have to have the guy who is the smoke sold. I have no inside info, just thinking out loud. We will see.

[AlSwearengen]

I hope this Schlossnagle thing was a grand smokescreen plot by cohen and all of our ?connected? posters.

If not and Schlossnagle was contacting our recruits, I hope his dick falls off.

[Ifyouonlyknew]

lol I'm not going anywhere. You guys get what you pay for with me & that's free info. Sometimes I'm wrong it happens. I went all in on the Schlossnagle info I was getting even though I had heard info saying otherwise. We'll know shortly & I still think everyone will be happy.

Nothing with a coach ever surprises me. Look how many over the years have had actual press conferences at schools and then changed their minds and stayed - Bobby Cremins, Greg Marshall, Billy Donovan, Dana Altman, and our own Rick Stansbury in basketball; Gene Stephensen did it to Oklahoma in baseball, Bill Belichek did to the Jets; Glen Mason did it to UGA.

Shit happens

[preachermatt83]

I find it hard to believe Cohen screwed the pooch. If he was "the man" I believe Cohen would have had that contract there for him to sign as soon as he could. I mean TCU hasn't been long finishing up there season either. But the contract could have already been signed and just waited on the announcement till the appropriate time, looks like to me. Maybe Schloss got wet feet or was just playing us for a raise. IDK

[Jack Lambert]

I know who it is but I am not saying until it is announced.

[Dallas_Dawg]

He and his wife were looking at property at Old Waverly

[Irondawg]

Well if indeed he did agree in principal and then changed his mind he wasn't the right guy to begin with. We've been able to do our search for month so he had plenty of time to gather all the info he needed on Starkville.

Whatever happened, I still think we'll all be happy in the end. Cohen isn't going to rush a decision like this a second time.

[TUSK]

I know who it is but I am not saying until it is announced.

Until I hear a coach come out and say, "OK, aight... I'll say it. Aight. I'm NOT going to be the MSU Baseball Coach.", I won't believe you've got your guy...

[Bully13]

Please don't stop IYOK. Shit happens man. We'll all know WTF happened on this deal soon. Please continue to keep us informed.

[Steakonastick]

Well I can admit I was wrong. Something happened this weekend when sloss was in Starkville. So the people saying this was a smoke screen are in denial. I’m hoping by the end of the day I’ll hear what caused this. Oh well on to the next one.

[WPDawg]

Prospective coaching hires are interesting to discuss but it aint a deal til Cohen says it is done. Family happiness is a big deal and rural Mississippi is not for everyone. Especially with kid's attached. Bad press from the media puts us in a negative slight when it comes down to it and til you live in the Magnolia State and see the wealth of good people here it is probably harder for outsiders to just jump in. If they spent more than a day or two here on a fly in and fly out, I think their perspective would change a whole lot but the kid's happiness thing probably sways a lot of thought.

Anyhow, I trust in Cohen to make a strong hire. I know there are many misgivings from some of the LL Bleacher parents here on how Henderson has coached this year but I think his calmness, steadiness and experience has provided what this year's team needed to place us where we are today. So good job by Cohen by having him on staff and whatever JC decides going forward will probably be good for MSU.

GO Dawgs! Let's grab this game today and host a SR!

This exactly. Typically those that know keep their mouth closed and/or only talk to a handful of people they know won't say anything.

[Matty Dispatch]

It's kind of stupid to want to call out people for sharing what they know (or think they know) on message boards. That's the point of message boards and if you aren't taking it with a grain of salt that's on you. Most people who are truly in the know do not post on message boards, or if they do they don't divulge the info. The folks who rush to message boards to post some info they have are typically getting it second or third hand and their immaturity in wanting to have message board cred for starting a thread with the info is what compels them to share it. The most reliable message board sources are usually the info that comes out in responses to the thread - that person didn't jump up and down to tell everyone, they just shared it when it was brought up.

Whatever the reason it isn't Schloss is Schloss's and Cohen's business. Just as long as nobody banged a student, staff member, or somebody else's wife this weekend then there'a probably no foul.

Hey man, it happens. Keep on sharing what you know, and I think we would all be interested to know what transpired over the weekend. In the case of Schloss being a done deal, there were multiple posters (who seem to be fairly reliable most of the time) saying the same stuff. If it wasn't true, it seems that someone or someones was trying to make sure the info got out there that the hire was a "done deal."

I just dont think its very likely that Schloss would be in Stark with Cohen in Tally along with everybody else in the baseball program.

[Commercecomet24]

I'm here. Y'all kick me in the nuts. I don't know schloss personally so I was getting info from multiple sources who were right about Cann being hired and Cohen taking the AD job. They not sure what happened right now either. I do know schloss made some Dick moves on his part. I'm confident Cohen has a great backup plan in place. My sincere apologies. I sucked on this.

[Political Hack]

I'm convinced no one on here knows squat anymore

Everyone knew we offered Schloss. Outside of TCU people and his family, I'm not sure how anyone would know 100% that he'd take it. They could be be told that it looks good, but that doesn't need mean it's final.

[DownwardDawg]

You can have the best source in the world but if someone changes their mind after weighing it over, that doesn't mean your source is wrong. We are dealing with human beings here.

This is always the board excuse. Nobody here knows shit. Including me. I?ve been a member since day 1 so I?m family. We suck at sources. My dubmass told people about Schloss because I was so confident after reading here everyday.
Personally, I?ve always hoped it would be McDonald but Schloss was great too. I?m gonna bet it ends up being Henderson. He took over an impossible situation and led us to a Super Regional. It?s gonna be him. Very underwhelming but all I care about is winning.

[DownwardDawg]

No way Schloss was is Starkville this weekend unless he just wanted some Lil Dooey’s. Cohen and the entire athletic dept is in Tallahassee.

[deadheaddawg]

If your source tells you it's a done deal, but the coach hasn't made up his mind.
...then the source is wrong.

[DanDority]

Which is why a asked in the bet your ass thread, why has this been closed when there hasn't been an announcement yet?
