President Welsh didn’t hold back about ‘someone who left’ at Earley’s Aggies intro presser

Texas A&M president Mark Welsh didn’t pull any punches on Tuesday afternoon during an introductory press conference for new baseball head coach Michael Earley .

“Last and maybe most importantly, he loves his family. It took Michael about 30 seconds into our first meeting to mention Lisa and the kids. But he also understands that Aggies love this family. People who love their families, tend to be loyal, and so do Aggies,” Welsh said. “Just to be clear here, today, tomorrow and the future of Aggie baseball, none of it about someone who left.

“It’s about someone who fought to stay! It’s about a leader who will fight to keep his team together. It’s about a coach who will make every player a better competitor, on and off the field. It’s about a winner who knows that there is still unfinished business in Omaha, Nebraska .”

Earley briefly followed former Aggies coach Jim Schlossnagle to the University of Texas before interviewing for and accepting the opportunity to remain in College Station at the helm.
