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

Yep, complete dick move. A lot of the baseball board stalwarts however have been haughty about BAS and the "zoo posters" not understanding the finer points of baseball and the dynasty JS was building. Well, this is why.

A&M is in the spotlight for the biggest men's sports success in decades, and our coach leaves for Texas and bungles the chance we had to win a national championship. Spare me the but "Tenn #1 and they are good" stuff. I know. If you don't think the move to Texas affected JS's mindset Sunday and Monday, your head is in the sand.

This is A&M. It's just what happens. Better to enjoy a fulfilling life with family and hobbies you can challenge yourself with rather than putting all your hopes in mercenaries in "college" sports.

Not sure why you're even here

ROBERT ZANE....you are The Man! Many thought that your presser question was bold, extraneous, to "on point", out of line, etc.

As they say, "NAILED IT!" You should have followed with "I WANT THE TRUTH!!!" as Schlosspoon stormed out.

You shouldn't have to buy a drink EVER when amongst Aggies.

This is my biggest issue with the whole thing here… Hire a brand new AD from Nebraska, then this whole thing goes sideways. What is the real story and does the AD need to be looked at?

To everyone implying he somehow threw the series ... I am as disappointed as y'all but that's ridiculous. He wanted to win for himself, if not for us. Obviously having a title would be a huge feather in his cap.

What's bad is he allowed Texas to break their job opening on the day our program was playing the biggest game in the history of our school

This is the worst part. What a grade A ****** bag thing to do. Easy to say when it's not your career, but I can not imagine going to a new employer that ****ed me over as bad as tu just did to his championship opportunity.

I will just say this, the people in the tcu athletic department absolutely love sarloos compared to Schloss and it's not based on how he left

Wonder if he negotiated his contract before the CWS or between innings during the games?

If you had told me 24 hours ago Tony frickin Vitello would arguably have a better reputation in Aggieland than Jim Schlossnagle, I would have looked at you like you were insane.

This move is utterly bewildering. The fact that this happened during the CWS and was leaked on the day of the national championship with prior knowledge by Schlossnagle means he is a straight up sociopath. I can't imagine any player wanting to play for him. I can't think of a more terrible move than this one.

Honestly, what the **** did we do to him?

This is just a continuation of failed leadership from the university. How many more times are the sips going to go behind this athletic department and **** them over without realizing it until it's too late? Yes, the new sip skipper can go to hell but what is this leadership doing?

He got offered more money and we didnt match it. Yall would all cHange jobs if they tripled your salary.

This is an indirect result of the dumba$$ Jimbo contact. No money available.

Wait until you see what we pay the new guy

What did he say to Zane? Nvrmnd. I found the clip. What a DBag.

How much is your word / integrity worth??
Schloss says "not much" the POS could have just mumbled "no comment" last night but no -takes offense like a Houston Politician caught bailing for Mexico when the lights go off "!for the family" true sorry-ness.

Well I've read through the first couple of pages of comments. Some people are talking about coach Max, stepping up. That's not going to happen as he's on his way to Austin as well. And as for the players, possibly being irritated with the situation, five of them have already committed to going over to Austin. This isn't just a loss of a head coach this is going to decimate the program from a potential championship run to not even being in the field of 64 next season. As for my feelings about Schloss, when I saw the interview last night, where Zane asked the question and was met with the ludicrous response and eventual leaving the room / table of the post gain interview area and another individual coming by and grabbing the sheet of sheet notes or Cliff notes that slash had left behind, and quickly wadding them up. I knew something was amiss.

What's the point in having a contract, if you don't have to fulfill it and it can be bought out, in this case, by your biggest rival? I was already irritated enough with not being able to get tickets to Omaha. And I've looked into how the ticketing process is determined for the two championship teams. Texas A&M and Tennessee both received less than 100 tickets to a 24,000 plus seat arena! Even our own ticket office and athletic department associates had to go to the secondary market and buy tickets through Ticketmaster. Over the course of the three days leading up to the start on Saturday, the very ticket prices were at a minimum around $300, for one ticket to one game. Conversely the super regional tickets for the whole weekend, against oregon, were $23, that was for all three games if needed. The world series finals were $87 per game in Omaha. That is just not right. In my opinion I believe that the NCAA divided all of those tickets between Ticketmaster and vivid and so forth. It is also my belief that they probably sold those tickets for over the $87 face value, to put a little revenue in their own pockets times 24,000. Then they established what's called a reasonable inflated price to the public. Well I don't know about you, but reasonably inflated on Ticketmaster at 7,000 to $8,000 per ticket, is not reasonable. Let's go texags / Zane, let's look into this and find out why the tickets were not more evenly dispersed to the two universities participating in the final. Because if I buy tickets and stand in the middle of any stadium in the United states, and I asked more than face value, and in a lot of places asking face value is also considered scalping. If I can go to jail for scalping a ticket or multiple tickets, then why we made it legal for Ticketmaster and all of these other heinous ticketing groups to sell them at a gorged price, making them millions of dollars on all of these events. Now I don't care what we do with professional sports. But when it comes to the collegiate sports especially public universities, then this all needs to be above board and not some back door deal.

Nothing changed as the POS already knew. How considerate to have that on his mind while coaching A&M for a chance to win the National Championship. All that garbage he spewed followed by "Write THAT" was because he knew he would be shredded in the media.
