Jim Schlossnagle Leaves Texas A&M To Become Texas Baseball Head Coach
The College Baseball Experience (@TCEonSGPN) on the Sports Gambling Podcast Network talks about Jim Schlossnagle taking the Texas Baseball Head Coach position. Noah Bieniek (@NoahB77_) offers his insight and analysis on what developed while Schloss and Texas A&M Baseball were in Omaha. Why did Schloss make the move? Why did he throw a tantrum in the postgame press conference only to leave less than 24 hours later?
Schlossnagle is 53 years old and has 8 College World Series appearances to his name and 5 of them were with the Horned Frogs. Chris Del Conte and Schlossnagle have remained close friends since their time in Fort Worth together. How much of a factor did that play in Schloss moving from College Station to Austin?
Obviously this is a terrible look, optics-wise, for Jim Schlossnagle. But it’s not the first time he has left a Lone Star state program for another. Schloss has played the villain role before, he’ll be prepared to do it again. Does Bieniek feel empathetic towards Aggie fans?
How much of the Texas A&M coaching staff will Jim Schlossnagle take with him to join the Texas Baseball coaching staff? Could Nolan Cain, Max Weiner, and company make the transition to the other side of the rivalry too? Then, how many Aggie players hop over to Austin from the Transfer Portal!? Texas A&M Baseball was supposed to be a Top 10 preseason team next year.
Bieniek finishes this episode of The College Baseball Experience talking about the new situation Texas A&M is in. With Schloss’ buyout and contract money, AD Trev Alberts can swing big. Stay tuned for a Texas A&M coaching candidates episode.
