Texas A&M has officially appointed Michael Earley as its 21st baseball coach. Earley, previously the hitting coach, is a popular choice within the program and is expected to keep the team on track for the College World Series. The decision follows Texas A&M's unsuccessful attempts to hire Tony Vitello and Brian O'Connor. Additionally, Washington head coach Jason Kelly is set to join Texas A&M as the pitching coach. Texas A&M Athletic Director Trev Alberts praised Earley's character and relationships with players. Texas has brought back Troy Tulowitzki as hitting coach after the Earley hire. The Aggie brass made the decision to hire Earley, and a Power 5 head coach is expected to be Earley's top assistant.
Michael Earley's welcome (back) to Texas A&M is scheduled for 1 pm Tuesday in Texas A&M's Hall of Champions, open to the public: https://t.co/LqJinX0ls3

I know Earley had been on the Texas A&M staff and will help the Aggies keep that title-contending roster together, so itโs a different situation, but any current SEC assistant getting a top job before Josh Elander is insane. Tennessee wonโt complain, though.

Texas A&M is gonna keep 2025 team together w/ @earleybaseball hire. Heโs done a HELLUVA good job as their hitting coach too. Still obv a huge gamble but I get the logic @BarstoolTexasAM
Texas brings back Troyย Tulowitzki as hitting coach after Texas A&M hires Mike Earley https://t.co/rgcinQAvcJ via @houstonchron
I am expecting Troy Tulowitzki to now remain on the @TexasBaseball staff as the hitting coach with Michael Earley heading to Texas A&M as the head coach. I'm also expecting one more wild dominoe move in this entire ordeal.
Some scoop on the @AggieBaseball search: * A&M made a very furious run ($$) for Tony Vitello. It shot its shot, but TV stayed put and loyal to a program that has given him the keys to the castle. * A&M also went after UVA's Brian O'Connor, but very dififcult to get him out ofโฆ
Who will take over as head coach for @AggieBaseball? Is it Oklahoma's Skip Johnson? Is it Mark Wasikowski, head coach at Oregon? Who do you want to see step into this role? https://t.co/BHdYTkZYLL

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 Earleyโs top assistant. #Aggies https://t.co/cDOMjar3bY
Aggie brass meeting with @earleybaseball as we speak, set to hire the former assistant as next A&M head coach. A wildly popular move within the program and a guy who won Trev Alberts over in a big way during interview process.
