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.

We're clearly not serious about winning.

Shown by not matching or exceeding the offer.

If you're mad at anyone it should be Trev Alberts and university leadership. Bigger failure than the Jimbo buyout.

Anyone who would do this, this way, is not somebody we should want. Sips deserve him and he will probably screw them over too at some point.

No he won't. Whether we want to believe it or not, they are a destination job in football and in baseball. He can't move up any higher.

He will finish his career there.

Here I was defending his outburst at the reporter last night. It turns out he has been negotiating with tu while his team was competing in the College World Series. No words describe how disappointed I am right now.

Can't wait for him to say tu was his dream job like he said for us.

College coaches suck. Plain and simple.

He left his family for A&M then acted like he was a victim last night when bringing it up and calling Richard Zane selfish. That should have spoken volumes.

Any word on the assistant coaches following him? I'd be less of a gut punch if Cain was made HC and retained Earley and Wiener.

Disloyal, ungrateful, selfish sack of dog***** To stand there and say all you say about these kids, this school, the program, the fanbase…then leave, hours after agony of defeat for the very school we most detest. Talk about a lying ***** and coward. Completely premeditated and planned well before last night. Scumbag move

Obviously not.
is that what this is about? the only baseball traditions are the unique ones like bubbles, ball 5, and counting the train engines. we don't have yell leaders or do yells or anything like that at baseball games. if that had anything to do with it, it's a really stupid reason.
