Moderators Blake Munroe Posted March 9 Moderators Share Posted March 9 Yesterday the No. 24 ranked Longhorns made the trip to Lubbock, which saw them demolish No. 17 Texas Tech last night 22-8 in the first game of the series. One person who didn’t make that trip, however, was assistant/1st base coach Philip Miller. While there are reports out there that he is taking a leave of absence, On Texas Football does not expect Miller to return. Expect an internal promotion to fulfill this role. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Blake Munroe Posted March 9 Author Moderators Share Posted March 9 A couple of other things… I was told this (the loss of Miller) won’t affect on the field play at all. Before anyone claims Pierce doesn’t want to promote Tulo or anything, that’s not the case. Sounds like Texas would love to have him in that role… But I don’t expect it to be him at all. I do like the name I heard, however. I think he could really help in certain areas of the team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry K Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Thanks Blake! 👊 I’m just guessing here but curious if Miller and Tulo butted heads. Miller has been with coach Pierce a long time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horns96 Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Is Tulo still working on a degree? Whatever the case, losing one of only three full-time paid coaches before conference play even begins doesn’t say much for Pierce’s program. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think coach Miller has either developed some bad habits or hasn’t evolved like he should or both. I have no inside knowledge that’s just my gut. If that’s the case getting rid of Miller isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Leininger Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 This program is a joke lead by the joke of a head coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachBobbyFinstock Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 (edited) I have no expectations for this team after going 0-3 and getting embarrassed by the SEC. Even if we go on a run it’s because the Big 12 is a shell of what we’ll run into next year. If Texas were in the SEC this year, they would struggle to make a regional. Pitching is an issue. Both starting outside of LBJ and the pen. I’m just going to watch and hope for the best Edited March 10 by CoachBobbyFinstock 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on man….😉🤣 Absolutely. This program isn't thriving under the leadership of Pierce. 20-28 vs. SEC in his career at Texas. He's been given pillow soft regionals and didn't even have to face the #1 seeds from the paired regionals in two of those 3 CWS appearences. Losing record in Omaha (3-6) with 5 embarassing losses including another 20 K performance, while not even really competing in the two appearences were he went 0-2, outscored 34-11 in those games. Every season his team's at Texas have had obvious holes, and he has never managed to have a complete pitching staff. Last year, he had 3 options, this year he has 1. Coaching turnover after almost every season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hornmatic Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Great series win 🤘 Much rather have Pierce than the other hot names that were mentioned upon his hire like Tadlock and Schlossnagle. Please bring up their sterling cws records. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please bring up their sterling cws records. So you don't want two other coaches with similar CWS records as the coach you prefer. Good call.

Don't know why exactly, but don't expect him to return. Not sure when they'll announce the new coach. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
