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.

Hope he enjoys dildos and rainbows more than bubbles and Rattlin' Bog. This guy (who remains nameless now to me) is worth no more than the dog**** in my backyard that I will gladly scoop and pile into his trunk on his way to hell.

Aggies, you know I almost NEVER post, but I feel compelled to remind every single Aggie loyal fan that bought tickets, Jell-O shot's, drove all the way to Omaha, agreed to pay licensing fees because he needed more improvements for baseball, scrambled to fill our expensive seats with people at every single home game (because he asked), and the list goes on that THIS COACH allowed this rumor to fester with intent and purpose. Several player parents were expressing dismay over his OWN lack of commitment to the program, all causing unnecessary negative focus on our players the day of our biggest game in baseball history! Stop and truly "think" through the collaborative and purposeful timing of the tu baseball Coach announced termination. This was an orchestrated and intentional act between tu AD and our former Coach to harm, injure, hurt, and send every Aggie alumni a giant middle finger! You please think through this FACT and you decide how he deserves to be treated in our history and in his new life in the SEC!
Well said. I (like everyone else) was pissed that tu broke their news yesterday with all the leaked rumors just to distract and cause turmoil. Knowing what we know now, with near certainty that Schloss had already decided he was going just makes it all the more ****ed up.

Like seriously, I can't imagine doing that to any fan base, let alone the fans OF THE TEAM I COACH FOR. There are some unwritten rules that you just don't break.

You're right. There was malice in this decision.

We've got money coming out of our f'ing ears. This wasn't about money

This is about a guy who is a brilliant baseball coach but I always had a nagging suspicion about. Always b**ched about the fans, the whole dance team thing, didn't seem like he ever particularly cared for the culture etc

Oh well. Time to be a hypocrite and make somebody else's coach "their Schloss"

What a complete betrayal. And to leave for tu as we now have to play them every year again. I hope we ride his ass relentlessly every game until his lying ass retires. I wish uncontrollable violent diarrhea on him.

Agree. My eyebrows went up when I heard that interview and his comments. Almost sounded disdainful.

He has a longstanding relationship with Del Conte, beyond baseball according to a 2022 article in The Batt, so we shouldn't be surprised that when a friend calls he goes.

I'll say it again : check his contract. I questioned several decisions from yesterday that would imply he threw the game.
I thought the same thing way before the news broke. Get him ouuta here fast.

Anyone who openly admits to leaving his family, wouldn't think twice about leaving again.
Nobody knows how he treated his family. If this is any indication....

Did he throw the series by not pitching Ash in the 7th of game 2? Why let the natty sit 100 miles from your new job in the first year in the conference.

1. And y'all were bashing Zane for asking the question.
2. This explains his questionable coaching decisions in games 2, 3.
3. Eff him.
4. Even Billy Gillispie thinks this is messed up.
Well, he was already a sip by then, so it makes sense.
