    He's not as tied to Lubbock as you might think.

      Also, it was just a suggestion. No need to get panties in a wad.

        Childress is done after this season. He knows it, the assistants know it, the players know it, the recruits know it....rebuild is coming. Heefner is a name being thrown around.

              Heefner would be a good fit there. But, I bet TAMU tries to toss a little more money around first before going to Heefner.

                As long as they’ve “stuck it out” with Childress.....who knows.

                  Childress has done some good stuff with the program and is solid coach, but something is just missing right now. I think a change would be good for both he and the University. No reason that A&M shouldnt be able to compete year in/year out and be in Omaha on a regular basis.

                    Interested to know what leads you to believe that?

                    I’m not saying he can’t be lured away from Tech, but I don’t think it would ever be college station that managed that.

                        I had a good, long conversation with Tadlock one day in the inside hitting cages at Tech as the guys were testing bats. He was one of the most genuine and down to earth guys I have ever talked to. We actually discussed the Texas offer and why he is at Tech. He asked me where I went to school and when I told him Texas, he said "you know they made me an offer, right?" which I was shocked he was telling me about it. It was not in a way to brag or even discuss it, just the commonality we had about Texas.

                        His comments were basically, I have everything I need to win at Tech. I agreed with him that he has built a great program and does not seem to be a guy that can be pulled away very easily as long as he's getting everything he wants at Tech. After Beard left for Texas, there is NO WAY that Hocutt can save his job if he is not able to keep Tadlock from leaving. I will never say a coach couldn't leave, but that is going to be a really hard pull.

                          This is what I was getting at. Just did a poor job of explaining it

                            Anyone planning on going to Omaha this year? Went a few years ago and had an absolute blast. Hoping to go back this year regardless who's in it.

                              Agree with you. Have recieved the same feel after conversations with him. One of the biggest difference bw him and Beard is that Tadlock played for and graduated from Tech. Those heart strings can be hard to separate. That can be said for any coach currently coaching at their alma mater though. Tech has to keep giving him everything they can to help him be successful

                                Guy I know happens to hunt with someone who was in the room when Texas offered Tadlock. Tadlock accepted, and then Texas reneged on a few things and both sides walked away (ie. Patterson ****ed it up). There’s more to it but that’s all I can say for sure.
