Schlossnagle leaving Texas A&M for Texas

Less than 24 hours after falling in the College World Series Finals, Texas A&M is also losing head coach Jim Schlossnagle.

Schlossnagle is taking the vacant coaching job at Texas, the Longhorns announced Tuesday.

"Everywhere Coach Schlossnagle has been he's built winners at the highest level, had a first-class program in every way and is an absolutely perfect fit to lead our baseball program," Kevin Eltife, chairman of the UT System Board of Regents said in a statement.

The Aggies lost Monday's Game 3 of the College World Series finals 6-5 to Tennessee. Following the game, Schlossnagle took a reporter to task for asking him about his future and potential interest in the Texas job.

"I think it's pretty selfish of you to ask me that question, to be honest with you," Schlossnagle said, according to KVUE's Jeff Jones. "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."

Schlossnagle amassed a 135-62 record in three seasons at Texas A&M, including a pair of College World Series appearances. The 53-year-old also previously coached at UNLV and TCU before joining Texas A&M ahead of the 2022 campaign.
