Michael Earley has been officially appointed as the 21st baseball coach in Texas A&M's program history. Earley, who recently coached Texas A&M in the College World Series finals as an assistant, followed Jim Schlossnagle to Texas before returning to take the head coaching job at A&M. Several former A&M players, including Jordan Thompson, Austin Bost, Trevor Werner, and Jack Moss, have expressed support for Earley's hiring. Texas A&M Athletic Director Trev Alberts and President Mark Welsh praised Earley's character, relationships with players, and his reputation as a position coach, hitting coach, and recruiter. Alberts mentioned that he talked to nine coaches for the job. The hiring is expected to keep the 2025 team together and retain players currently in the transfer portal. Additionally, there is speculation that a Power 5 head coach may join Earley as his top assistant. Earley was welcomed at Kyle Field's Hall of Champions.

Two things on the Michael Earley hire: 1) I expect every A&M player in the portal to stay put given this news. 2) Keep an eye on a Power 5 head coach to be Earley’s top assistant. #Aggies https://t.co/cDOMjar3bY

New Texas assistant Michael Earley is a candidate for the Texas A&M job. #HookEm https://t.co/esyhtLqp8Y
Think A&M would rather hire one of the Schloss assistants, which would make the most sense. But at the same time it looks embarrassing after your biggest rival snatched your HC. If Aggies can put pride aside, Earley should be the call.
He’s taking the Texas job https://t.co/GJEvApVB6g
