Texas baseball hires Jim Schlossnagle of Texas A&M as coach, replacing David Pierce

lol wut. didn't he just dismiss the talks of Texas not too long ago?

 

[strongj81]

Wow! Talk about a kick in the sack. Lose game 3 yesterday and today the coach that got you there! Oh well gbo!

open the transfer portal flood gates

He stated in his post game presser that talking about the Texas opening was not on the table.

That didn't take very long.

I'll take Things That Didn't Age Well In Under 24 Hours for a thousand, Alex.

Three reasons Schloss would never leave Texas A&M baseball for the Texas job

1. Texas A&M baseball is about to boast the best baseball facilities in the SEC, and maybe the country.

2.These are two programs with arrows pointed in diametrically opposed directions. The Aggies are trending positively, and the Longhorns are on a steady decline.

3.Why in the world would the Longhorns announce the firing of David Pierce, assuming that Schloss would be their guy, on the biggest day of Schloss’s career?

I bet that reporter wrote a pretty interesting article today.

I bet this throws fuel on the fire for A&M to leave the SEC for the Big 10. A lot of their message board posts are the SEC let the devil and this is what happens

Because Longhorns Suck. I wish that they stayed far away from SEC. Can't stand that team.

If it’s true he let the players find out via social media than he really cements himself as a d-bag

They left conference because of Texas before, right?

Well, this means they probably aren't following him to Texas. I sure wouldn't.

Used to live in Oklahoma during Barry's run. Got to know the Texas rep very well. Was really looking forward to seeing Texas and Bama see who could swing the biggest johnson in this league, but with Saban gone, I don't think it will be nearly as difficult for Texas to carry the day with the league office. There was a reason aTm wanted to get the heck away from that bunch and to keep them from joining the SEC. The camel done got his nose under the tent. This league will quickly and I mean QUICKLY learn all about Texas and grow to hate them at bama levels in short order. You think bama got royal treatment? Just wait until you see the treatment Texas gets over the next 5 years or so.

Last night…in faux, sanctimonious outrage at the mere question. Sans the actual “dismiss” part. Classic political non- denial.

 

[Godfatha]

Kinda feel bad for A&M fans now.

That being said, maybe we can get some of A&Ms players?

 

[Godfatha]

Really a low rent move to negotiate for a job while your team is in the world series.

 

[Zues1]

This is what a disloyal liar looks like.

Man, the aggs board is SALTY!

Cant say I blame them. They put up a helluva fight but the best team prevailed. Still, they were a great team this year. Utter shame that their coach left them before the game 3 uniforms have even been washed. And not just left, but left to go to their most hated rival.

That sucks for them.

 

[Godfatha]

Man, he's a canoe. No wonder Tony V didn't really expound on their relationship.

Lots of asterisks there! **** ***** **** ***** ****

Damn: A&M watch their team lose the national title game, and then, less than 24 hours later, watch their coach ditch the program
for their hated arch-rival only hours after he expressed indignation when asked about the Texas opening. Di-k move---but not totally
surprising, either. Both texas schools are, for me, the problem with college sports. They both have too many crazy boosters with too little
going on in their lives and way too much money. It's a problem with all majors--but the texas schools are the worst.

Yep, classic coach speak 101... Deflect and dismiss the question instead of being honest of his interest in the Texas job and letting his team know. It works out a lot better than to come off as a dishonest jerk a day later.
