I saw that same story, a friend of mine was incessantly worried about PIerce going and the Schloss going to Texas. I did some short research about backgrounds and relationships - looking to see if Schloss said it was his dream job, special connections to people like Del Conte. FOund that article you are referring to about walking together daily, not talking baseball but just life from what I recall.ColoradoMooseHerd said:When Schloss joined Texas A&M he talked very fondly about Del Conte and Him walking Campus together every day. When I heard rumblings of him leaving, I thought immediately to the story about him talking about those walks together.Complete Idiot said:
Del Conte bolted on Schloss and TCU in 2017
Only a fool would.Martin Cash said:
Why should I believe anything he says?

Schlossnagle's quote: "I will savor the memories and true friendships I have made there for a lifetime." Let me tell you coach, you have no friends left in BCS.

Why aren't the ADs just honest in situations like this? Call his ass out. I'm sure people will say "what coach would want to come here with that going on", but slosh earned it in this situation

Could it possibly be that Schloss was not hired by Alberts, was promised substantial facilities improvements that Alberts is now slow walking, and had half his support staff canned by Alberts without his input?
To me, Schloss is thinking, "I don't know this guy, he's already lost my trust, and I've done nothing but produce for him. And the guy who is offering me at least twice the money I'm making now has already earned my trust in the eight years I worked for him before."
And even though he left Del Conte for A&M, there were no bridges burned and the relationship remained intact. Why wouldn't he take the Texas job under those circumstances?
And yeah, he was on the committee that hired Alberts, but he dang sure wasn't the deciding vote.

The most amazing thing to me is that he had a chance to win a national championship and allowed his new employer to sabotage it by firing its coach and leaking that he was a shoo-in on the biggest day of his professional life.
Did he not realize players have social media, too? Everyone heard the rumors before the game began.
It's not easy to win the CWS ... he might not get another shot. Yet he was willing to throw this one away???
I get that coaches leave. But this was beyond stupid.
It's beyond bizarre. Your best buddy did everything he could to destroy your chance at winning a Natty.EclipseAg said:

same thing as when a person being fired is explained as "chose to go in a different direction".
