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