Meanwhile Josh Elander who is a certifiably elite hitting coach and our recruiting coordinator that is perennially stacking up top 1-3 recruiting classes for our national championship winning baseball program is just sitting there ripe for the picking.

If any P5 baseball program actually wants a good head coach, you might oughta give him a ring soon before someone else scoops him up. Just saying

If this is the case, why wait until the CWS final game to actually fire your head coach when you could have done a week or so ago and have your coach on campus recruiting?

RUMOR: Texas had a team meeting about 10 days ago, where it happened.. as KR said, this was the worst kept secret in baseball.

The official news wasn't supposed to come out yesterday.. Kirk Bohls (Austin American Stateman - who most longhorns hate) released it early.. idk why, but it wasn't intentional and it wasn't supposed to be released yet.

Some of you will say.. SUREEEEEEE.. you just wanted to steal the headlines, but I don't think CDC works that way. If that were true, he would have done it much sooner. Additionally, the CWS could have been over 2 days ago..

As for why Schloss got pissed.. and didn't say "no"
1) Maybe he couldn't answer because his agent is trying to get him a raise
2) Maybe he is taking the job
3) Maybe he just didn't like the question

There isn't anyway to know from that interview imo..

optics and headlines - UTA will make a run at both the coaches in Omaha last night now that they're done with their seasons - but neither will take the job -

the arrogance in Austin thinks they'll get one of them - so recruiting wasn't a concern - but it will prove to be a mistake once neither coach from last night is hired -

eta - Texas moving to the SEC will work against them here - if they were to remain in the Big 12 - I absolutely believe JS would make the move - but the blowback with both schools in the same conference - the timing will be too much for a guy who's still as humble as he was when he was coaching in tiny Elon NC -

Since when is trying to hire the very best “arrogance”? CDC is simply doing his job. And, Texas fans would much rather hire the right guy and give him time than rush a hire over one recruiting class.

This is the way CDC hires new coaches.. it has been said repeatedly.. he moves behind the scenes until he gets a new coach lined up, and then he let's his current coach go.. Pierce was fired about 10 days ago.. so going by that methodology, CDC has had a verbal agreement or something signed with a new coach for about 10 days.. since it hasn't been announced yet, it doesn't really make sense for it to be someone who wasn't still coaching yesterday.. and even Vitello speculated that Schloss is heading to Texas..

You people are just so obtuse and self important. If you weren’t so blinded by your irrational beliefs about UT, you’d see it isn’t Schloss. Virtually everyone else sees it.

So tell me.. what does everyone see that I don't? Why do you think it is impossible for Schloss to head to Texas?

For the record, I don't have a clue who the new coach will be.. but I have said for 2 weeks that the new coach must still be playing or he would have been announced already..

so going by that methodology,
I'm more inclined to follow this methodology

"I think it's pretty selfish of you to ask me that question, to be honest with you," Schlossnagle said. "But I left my family to be the coach at Texas A&M. I took the job at Texas A&M to never take another job again. And that hasn't changed in my mind."

"That's unfair to talk about something like that. That would be like you asking (Braden) Montgomery if he's going to sign in the draft. But I understand you've got to ask the question. But I gave up a big part of my life to come take this job. And I poured every ounce of my soul into this job and I gave this job every ounce I could possibly give it. Write that."

I don’t disagree but with all the rumors (probably untrue) about it, it had to be asked.


the ONLY rumors were from shithole posters on shithole fansites.

Anyone who for a second thought Schloss would leave Texas A&M for that school in Austin just doesnt understand the two programs.

We're GOOD.

Is that why A&M's own media arm had to ask him moments after losing the biggest game in any sport in school history?

Seems like if virtually everyone else could see it, then the need for the question from a&m media members wouldn't even be necessary, right?

it was a shite move that Aggie coach had to address that at that point in time after a tough loss
you can blame Texas for releasing that info the day of the title game when they could have announced it after regionals or waited one more day

Texas struggled in the watered down Big 12, they have no idea how hard the SEC is going to be in all sports but they about to find out

Tell me about it. Could you imagine if they had to play any SEC teams in football last year?

Thank GOD Texas avoided that humiliation

We see what we want to see. Aggies take that quote to mean he will never leave. I see the typical non-denial denial word salad coaches spew before they leave.

"And that hasn't changed in my mind... yet."

Again, I think we end up with some young up and comer and that's just fine. But he could've been much more deliberate in his denial, and he wasn't.

The question was asked precisely because self-important, jackass Texas fans leaked false reports linking him to the job. It's obviously a major long shot for any college program to hire a head coach coach from a national title contending team like UT or A&M, but it does sometimes happen - usually onlt when there is conflict behind the scene.

Anyone who saw his answer knows that he ain't leaving A&M. But you people are so damned confident that your shite don't stink, that you STILL think he's coming.

I mean he very easily could've said "no I'm not leaving, next question." Like... VERY easily could've said that. He didn't. Instead he went on the "how dare you ask me that question" response akin of Roy Williams in 2003

If he'd said that, yall would have said, "coaches lie all the time when asked about job stuff! What was he supposed to say? NO WAY our awesome AD would have waited until now unless he had hired TV or Schloss! We're awesome, so obviously we got someone awesome!"

Man you are really melting rn

Also, you must not be familiar with how CDC operates. He's not going to fire a coach just to give every other athletic dept in the country to refi their coach's contracts in the meantime. We're not a&m, we're not going to give ourselves over a month to be rejected by Mark Stoops and 2-3 other coaches
