Will wade vs Schloss departure

[Connor Vaughn]

@Bobby Burton I’m a little surprised you called out Will Wade and the manner in which he departed NC State, but didn’t talk about Schloss’ departure from A&M. Let’s be honest, are they really that different? Wade took the cowardly way out in sending an email via his agent, while Schloss flat out misled people in that press conference. One can even call it lying. Both departures were pretty badly mishandled and I think both Schloss and Will Wade deserve to be ridiculed. What say you?

What thread are you referencing? Also, why would he mention something that happened a year and a half ago in a different sport that has nothing to do with Wade?

He called him out because Will Wade got canned for paying players under the table, lol. Stop with the pearl grasping

This feels more like hurt feelings than an honest question from the OP.

Schloss left for good reasons and for a major job. Was the timing ideal? Of course not. There is no ideal time to leave a program. Somebody is always going to feel blindsided, offended, or betrayed.

You can say it was awkward. Fine. You can say Aggies were angry. Obviously. But trying to turn it into some grand character indictment is a bit much. He made a career move. It was messy. That happens in college sports every year.

Schloss was fleeing from a boss everyonr despised (much like Buzz Williams did a few months later), and going to a much preferred, higher pedigreed blue blood program to work for a boss he already had a close working relationship with.  This happens every single day in corporate America.

By contrast, Will Wade got fired for paying players and lying to his AD / investigators about it at LSU.  He eventually took another P4 job at NC State, quit via email after one season, and went straight back to LSU to work for the exact same boosters with whom he conspired to illegally pay players and mislead investigators years earlier…except this time the boosters got rid of the old AD (S.Woodward) who was in the way last go around.  Now, they’ve fully enabled Will Wade to be even more corrupt this time!

Other than those pesky facts, the situations are very analogous.

I was in company gym today and Aggy was wearing a Come and Take It shirt. Take what - I’m not sure. We’ve already stolen their soul.

My friend suggested it must have been printed before we took Schloss. 🙂

Schloss didn’t mislead the Aggies.  There are no coaches that really want to be there.   The Aggies don’t want to hear it.  Truth hurts.
