Also where did you hear this from?


There is a certain message board on the internet that has the most connected insider re: VOLS.

Good hire for Ags, some cause for concern though with recent struggles. In the last 3 seasons he's missed the NCAAT, and got bounced in regionals the other two.

33-23 10-13 in 2018 no NCAAT
34-28 11-13 in 2019 3 seed lost regionals

Finally had a good team this year and loses in own regional 1-2 and bolts.

Schloss did win the Big 12 regular season and tourney to claim a national seed this year. He’s had plenty of postseason success previously too. I agree he did come back to earth after 4 CWS births in a row.

Including the 2021 campaign, Schlossnagle guided the Frogs to three Big 12 regular season titles, 15 NCAA tournament appearances, seven Super Regional appearances, and most impressive of all, five College World Series appearances, including four-straight from 2014-17. To put that mark into perspective, the Aggies have reached the CWS only six times in program history.

Schlossnagle has a 55-36 career record in the NCAA tournament and finishes his Horned Frogs tenure with a 693-330 overall record. In addition to those marks, Schlossnagle earned National Coach of the Year honors in 2010, and again in 2016. This won’t be the first time Schlossnagle has had a chance to coach in the SEC. He was courted by Mississippi State in the summer of 2018, but decided to stay put in Fort Worth. Now, he gets to try his hand in arguably the nation’s premier conference.

...

The goal with bringing in Schlossnagle is to build on those results, get to Omaha and win games, and ultimately compete for the national title for the first time in program history.

Accomplishing that goal won’t be easy, but the Aggies have all the resources necessary, and a significant, additional renovation project is soon on the way at Blue Bell Park.

Schlossnagle will have other resources at his disposal. The Aggies are making a strong financial commitment to the program, and the long-time head coach is expected to have an excellent, highly acclaimed coaching staff with the expected assistant salary. Look for some high-profile names who are currently playing in the NCAA postseason to be part of his staff.

Texas A&M has always been relevant, to an extent, in college baseball on the national stage. But now, with the addition of Schlossnagle, it aims to take that next, biggest step.

It’s a new era in Aggieland.

Yep, the downward trend is the only concern with him, he's a solid coach overall though.

He's the reason we got fricked by the NCAA. By literally giving them everything they wanted and allowing them to reopen a case that had been closed.

Then he hired Matt Luke as a final "frick you"




WORTH IT.

Congrats. This is a great hire.

I guess OTOP isn't full of shite after all. Those guys broke this weeks ago.

I’m starting to think you’re one of the hosts as much as you mention them. Hopefully not the one who was arrested for soliciting a minor

Without Kirk Saarloos, that hire isn't as good as people think it is.

The amount of money we are giving him for assistants is large, and he will have a great staff according to those who would know. Improvements coming to BBP as well. Like Fisher, A&M will give him everything to succeed
