Why did Schloss leave?
Insider's perspective:
[ol]He never liked the culture. He couldn't wrap his head around why people were freaking out about dancers on the dugouts. He felt he had a really hard time recruiting black players. Once Jimbo was fired, word got around the buyout had to come from somewhere and it could be the baseball project. He never felt secure about the project. Bjork hired him and then left. Trevor Alberts fired senior staff including his baseball sport supervisor Chris Park. Why didn't they keep him on through the post season run? That tweet Schloss put out about the George Straight concert was rather telling. This was the tipping point. If baseball was important to the university, why let your guy go during the season? Trev BOTCHED this. The decision to fire Childress was made before the second weekend of baseball in 2021 and Schloss was already the guy. This deal was all but done in April a week after the Texas loss to UTRGV. These deals are done long in the future. Schloss' relationship with CDC cannot be underestimated. They talk on a weekly basis. This could have been leaked the week after the regionals but Schloss lied about it to close people to protect himself. People close to him started asking questions since O'Connor got his extension and UT didn't hire Jay Johnson after LSU's regional loss. Schloss was ALWAYS their guy. [/ol]

black players not wanting to play for the albino. Dancers? One old guy with a newspaper a year ago or so? Lol

Lmao. 'I can't recruit black players because dancers'
Doesn't seem to matter for other sports
What a lame bag of 'grievances'

Schloss is a whiny biatch. Was never happy with anything. **** him.
Almost every college has sexy dancers at basketball games, but you never see them on TV because they perform at half time, and the talking heads in the studio are shown instead.Jugstore Cowboy said:
Do other colleges have dancers at baseball games? I watch other college baseball besides A&M, and I never notice cameras lingering on dancers or cheerleaders. That was a really weird thing for Schloss to focus on.
Hell, most 2 & 3A parks have less entertainment/atmosphere than Olsen Field.
Easy way to look at that: Do high schools or pro teams do it? Colleges typically follow them.Jugstore Cowboy said:

The decision to fire Childress bullet is not a reason Schloss left. That makes no sense.

TCU does. I'd bet you anything tu will next year too.
Baseball? No, I've never known of a Womens' dance team at a baseball game.Jugstore Cowboy said:
We've had dancers at basketball for years too, have we not? (I do confess to most of my post-college bb attendance being at another school, which has dancers).
But for baseball?
*and I don't really care about having dancers at Olsen, I just think it's a silly point that wouldn't change much on the field or off.
Schloss wanted the dancers around so he could get to know them well enough to have their cellphone numbers. Makes it easier for him to send them his dick pics.Jugstore Cowboy said:

I chatted with a decent source of mine in Mississippi about the Schlossnagle situation. Word is (among a number of baseball fans of other SEC schools) that the deal started to be "in the works" after our series with Georgia. If that's the case, it was a done deal long ago. Whatever the circumstances, "May the name of Schlossnagle be stricken from every obelisk, …" Im ready to move on. Let's hire the coach from Kentucky or Florida State.

We should never have a head coach in any sport that says or tweets "Y'all Aggies" in their 3rd year. In hindsight, that is a very telling tweet. We should have known and the deal was probably already done at that time.
Wouldn't it be great if the trans population at t.u. had a big presence on the new baseball dance squad.Killzone3abc said:

Sounds like it worked out for us

I suspect the list of grievances were developed after Schlossnagle determined he wanted to leave. That's the typical process…a guy wants to have an affair, he starts making a mental list of all his wife's negatives to justify his actions.
With that said, Alberts worries me. You can't go around cutting costs to the point that your product becomes unmarketable. That's a road to even bigger financial problems.
Are we cutting costs or opting to make better moves?
Let's see how this progresses, sounds more like Schloss wanted to be closer to his special buddy in Austin
