Mad Dog is a hypocrite..."Following Game 5 of the 2023 National League Championship Series with the Philadelphia Phillies leading the series 3-2, Russo predicted a Phillies' win on Mad Dog Radio and said that he would retire if the Arizona Diamondbacks won two consecutive games at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia to advance to the World Series.[26] Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo, who said he is a friend of Russo, said that he "would love to see him quit" if the Diamondbacks won.[27] Russo's promise reportedly caused a surge in support for the Diamondbacks among social media users.[28] The day after the Diamondbacks defeated the Phillies in Game 7 to advance to the World Series, Russo appeared on The Howard Stern Show and reneged on his retirement vow,"

Reminds me of Lincoln Riley leaving Oklahoma

[@ShaneAlan1]

This is worse

[@seanmcnally4818]

Yeah, this is way worse. He left Texas A&M for Texas, in state, now SEC rivals. A&M left the Big 12 for the SEC because Texas got its own network, which the Aggies felt cost them millions of dollars, and before NIL deals, which may have influenced recruiting tactics.

[@michaeldoesfunstuff4992]

I didn't follow the story about Riely leaving OU, but did Riley lie in such a flat way like Schlossnagle did?

[@oukeith]

@michaeldoesfunstuff4992 yeah he kinda did after we lost to oklahoma state he flat out told a reporter he wasn't leaving oklahoma and wasn't going to be the next coach of LSU then the next day he announced he was going to coach USC.

[@BAKER22-l4u]

That's because you're doing to many LUDES

[@juliocastaneda5940]

We get it, in all sports, this happens. A coach will say one thing when questions are brought out, and not because the media member wanted to, but its his job to, and we see this all the time, coaches in the heat of the moment say something regrettable, and has to backtrack a day later after cooler heads prevail to backtrack his statements or to answer it a better way. But get real here, this coach was already lined up to exit A&M before he even was asked this and to basically lambasting that media member for it, then come out the next day, and try to apologize for it directly to him and it wasnt so much an apology, but basically a backhanded apology because he was already signed at Texas and to come out and say, i should have had a better answer or statement. Coaches are asked these things after a high profile school has the opening for the job and your rumored as the recipient to replace that vacancy. The least he should have done was wait til the next day to officially announce your exiting Texas A&M and not literally hours after your loss, to get the chance to tell your players your leaving. On top of that, you don't even make a public announcement your leaving Texas A&M but leave an e-mail to the school stating your going to Texas, is downright cowardice on his part after basically bullying the media and adamantly telling the media your never leaving the program then can't even tell the program you are face to face, because you don't want to face the backlash from those comments you made the very night you lose the CWS. This is pathetic on his part and should never be trusted as a coach ever again after that.

[@Michael-gu5kl]

I'm pretty sure that he did say something on Wednesday but I could be wrong!

[@BAKER22-l4u]

You're ignorant. Idiotic and foolish

[@Phowardtx]

His bold lies in the presser will not soon be forgotten. Prospects take note, this is one way to galvanize the SEC (and entire media landscape) against you! I'm glad everyone gets to see first hand the kind of classless bravado we had to put up with for years in the Big 12.

[@21Onate]

@@dougrose7334 1. Elko coached at A&M before getting the gig with Duke. Duke to A&M is for sure a step up, but A&M to TX is not IMO. Same resources, facilities, recruitment base, etc. I’ll give you that Tx has more history, but to compare this to the Elko move is wild.

Outside looking in, I'm not even sure if Texas has better facilities than texas A&M is this really a better job?

[@SuperGamerzchannel]

Texas has 6 baseball championships, more NIL money, and can offer more money in his contract. But the big thing here is Texas AD Chris Del Conte and him are good friends from their time at TCU and he knows CDC can get him whatever upgrades he might want of those facilities. Schloss was also not fond of the A&M AD hiring and voted against him prior to his hiring. If A&M had fought harder to keep him and the prior relationship with CDC was not there then he probably doesn't jump ship.
