Jim Schlossnagle set to leave Texas A&M for Texas head coaching job

June 25, 2024

The rumors, indeed, have legs.

Jim Schlossnagle is set to be named the next head baseball coach at the University of Texas after three incredibly successful seasons at Texas A&M.

The news was first reported by Chip Brown of Horns247 and later confirmed by TexAgs' Billy Liucci and D1Baseball’s Kendall Rogers.

A career-altering move by Schlossnagle comes less than 24 hours after his Aggies lost Game 3 of the Men's College World Series Finals on Monday night.

"I left my family to be the coach at Texas A&M," he said postgame. "I took the job at Texas A&M to never take another job again, and that hasn't changed in my mind."

Obviously, something changed between then and Tuesday evening.

Schlossnagle, 53, was introduced to the 12th Man on June 10, 2021.

In three seasons in College Station, he took the Aggies to the Men's College World Series twice, reaching the final four both times and the championship series in 2024.

His A&M tenure controversially ends in infamy with a 135-62 record.

More to come shortly.

Paraphrasing something Ronald Reagan once said, "This person knows a lot of things that just aren't true"

Well, it looks like the sips have reminded us how much they hate us and it reminded us as to why we hate them.

After 13 years, they have just thrown gas on smoldering embers.

Just curious what the players thought of him throwing Chestnut under the bus on national tv. He had a reputation of doing this during his tenure.

I agree this absolutely sucks. Is it at all possible that someone at A&M in leadership may have messed something up or been asleep at the wheel? This is just too bizarre and we may not have all the facts. I have the feeling there is more to the story that we will never know about, and it's just very easy to lay all the blame at Schlossnagle's feet and make him out to be 100% the bad guy...

Maybe. But you didn't have to be on board the Enola Gay and have a weekly lunch with Oppenheimer to understand what happened at Hiroshima. Usually the simple explanation is the correct one. Occam's Razor

I'm sure that's what he's going to say. Feel free to believe it. Because there are plenty of people that know otherwise and if you don't want to believe them, so be it.

Not the 1st time and won't be the last that A&M gets thrown under the bus by sits rival and gets eaten up by a portion of our own fan base

I do hear you, but in some cases involving big bureaucratic and complex organizations, the simplest explanation is just that - the simplest explanation. I think it's quite possible that A&M leadership stepped on themselves. I know it won't happen, but I would love to depose some folks...

You're missing my point. I don't know what to believe. Clearly there are plenty of people who THINK they know otherwise

Just read on one of tos that there was info on the whole staff leaving with Schloss as early as June 18. Not that it was a possibility, but that it was done. He was waaaay past negotiations by the time Omaha was upon us.

Unbelievable...

Confirmed by Brauny that Texas players were being told to wait. That Schloss was coming and it was done. This was back in June. I mean that Brauny himself was getting texts about this back in June.

"I think it's pretty selfish of you to ask me that question, to be honest with you. But I left my family to be the coach at Texas A&M. I took the job at Texas A&M to never take another job again. And that hasn't changed in my mind. That's unfair to talk about something like that," Schlossngale said.

He left his family for his TCU girlfriend......the morals of a pig.

He was going through a nasty divorce before we even hired him. Rumor has it that the reason his wife filed was because of his after hour swinger activities

Remember the awkward hand shakes he had w/ the tcu players after '22 regional?
I can't understand why all Aggies were happy to poach him from TCU,

but then flabbergasted he would jump ship to TU for more money and prestige and living where his family wants to live.

the mere act of a coach leaving for another job is not the issue

It is fine. This is only the beginning. Let's go

No point - you're not listening, you don't want to listen and this forum likes to stay in its echo chamber. No room for even considering alternative possibilities...

He had a waiver in his contract if he was offered the Texas job. It was known day one.

I thought I heard that in the presser. Did he really have a buyout clause to jump to Texas? That's crazy if so, and why would we agree to put that in there?

TCU to TAMU - Different conferences. More money. Not a direct rival. Beyond that I get your point......to a point.

The ill intent involved here is next level.

For the umpteenth time, it's more how/when it was done than just doing it.

Give Coach Weiner his shot. He's young, highly regarded, sharp, and well liked by the team. He'll do well.
