Did the Aggies expect Jim to say “I am done with this cult of stupid. Fuck Trev Alberts for firing my AD without talking to me first. Fuck the fan base and their stupid antics.  Fuck College Station and all its shitty chain restaurants.  I am glad we lost and I am headed to Austin.  The Aggie tears are going to be delicious!”

So Schloss threw the CWS and the game last night.
More wins in one week in Omaha than TAMU has had in their history. One missed tag away from at least extra innings. Managed to pull back to within one run, one out of beating the favorite and bringing TAMU their first major championship since 1939. 
But sure, he threw the game. Sue him. Get the discovery. 
Never change, Aggie.

So Schloss engineered the missed tag at home plate? Impressive dedication to treachery!

Lolololololol   ... lololololol .... lol.

 

This "article" is quite something. 

The staff writer (Carter Karels / Aggie 247) refers to an incident after the press conference being revealing.

Yeah, what the article really reveals is his/Aggies' dopeyness and hypocrisy.

 

"In his 23 seasons as a head coach, which has included seven College World Series appearances, Schlossnagle has been known to prioritize success over integrity."

And yet you hired him, and praised him to high heaven.

 

"Not to mention, what Schlossnagle did to A&M is exactly what he did to TCU."

And yet you hired him, and praised him to high heaven. (And now criticize him for doing that to you.)

 

"But what will all of that mean for a coach whose credibility is on life support? A coach who has a reputation as a pathological liar? A coach who can't handle even the slightest push back?"

It means you should submit this article to The Onion, bro ... bwaahahahaha ... 

 

Sheesh.  Full article below.

Column: Jim Schlossnagle showed his true colors

Carter Karels (Aggie 247)
 

When questioned about the speculation surrounding his future Monday, Jim Schlossnagle showed his true colors.

The third-year Texas A&M head baseball coach, who is set to be hired by Texas in the same role, first lied about his future plans. He called the question "selfish" before answering with a response that included: "I took the job at Texas A&M to never take a job again, and that has not changed in my mind."

What happened next might be even more revealing.

Before storming out of the postgame press conference room at Charles Schwab Field in Omaha, Neb., Schlossnagle briefly confronted Richard Zane, the TexAgs reporter who asked the question. Off-camera, he emphatically told Zane to never speak to him again.

Schlossnagle not only lied about his desire to remain with the Aggies, in that moment and to donors behind the scenes. He also acted like a petulant child, berating a local reporter for doing his job before angrily muttering to himself while walking away.

None of that behavior should be surprising, at least not to those who have seen him up close. In his 23 seasons as a head coach, which has included seven College World Series appearances, Schlossnagle has been known to prioritize success over integrity.

Not to mention, what Schlossnagle did to A&M is exactly what he did to TCU. 

Various Aggie players and recruits learned that the Longhorns were hiring Schlossnagle from reports and social media. Not from Schlossnagle himself. Three years ago, Horned Frog players learned A&M hired Schlossnagle in the same way.

Schlossnagle even denied similar speculation at TCU before going back on his word.

"I have no interest in any other job," Schlossnagle told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram before the Aggies announced his hiring almost two weeks later.

This time, Schlossnagle departed his current school for its biggest rival. That move alone would be a tough look. The timing of everything makes it even worse. A&M is only one day removed from falling short of a national championship, losing 6-5 to Tennessee in the winner-takes-all game three of the CWS Finals. This hiring had been in the works long before that game.

Also, per the initial report from Chip Brown of Horns247, Schlossnagle is planning to bring his coaching staff with him to Texas. Will he stop there? Or will he attempt to pluck away key Aggie players, like All-American Jace LaViolette and SEC Freshman of the Year Gavin Grahovac? He might as well go full Red Wedding.

It all makes his previous glowing comments about A&M ring hollow, particularly the one he made last Friday.

"The 12th Man is so special," Schlossnagle said ahead of his pre-CWS Finals press conference. "If I start talking about it too much, I will start crying because they really are a unique, special group of people that are so supportive."

Evidently not supportive enough. Not to Schlossnagle, who routinely complained publicly about how certain A&M fans acted at games, how Blue Bell Park badly needs to be renovated and how the Aggies are stuck in their traditionalist mindset.

Which seemed silly, because in time, the Aggies would have given Schlossnagle everything imaginable. A lucrative contract extension. A competitive NIL pool. An $80 million renovation of Olsen Field at Blue Bell Park.

"Texas A&M has an awesome fan base, and incredibly proud and awesome people that you want to reward the commitment that they have made," Schlossnagle said last Wednesday.

With the Longhorns, Schlossnagle should be positioned well to win his first national title. They have the NIL money. They have the alignment, with athletics director Chris Del Conte and Schlossnagle remaining close since spending nine years together at TCU (2009-17). They have the prestige, ranking first nationally in winning percentage (.722), second in wins (3,774) and third in national championships (six).

But what will all of that mean for a coach whose credibility is on life support? A coach who has a reputation as a pathological liar? A coach who can't handle even the slightest push back?

Schlossnagle winning big at Texas would not be surprising. He is easily one of the best coaches in the sport. Still, Schlossnagle has now proven multiple times that he is willing to lie to his players, donors and fanbase. Perhaps it will only be a matter of time before he does it again.

For the Aggies, they have everything they need to survive this departure. From NIL money to facilities to overall resources, A&M has the structure to be consistently among the best teams in college baseball. The Aggies proved that notion in 2024, which is why their vacancy will be highly coveted.

Perhaps A&M pitcher Chris Cortez said it best.

"This should not take away from what this 2024 Texas A&M baseball team has done," Cortez wrote on X after the news broke Tuesday. "The players make the team, not the coaches. Less than 24 hours ago we were one of the last two teams standing, playing for a National Championship.

"Nothing can take that away from us."

A couple of my Aggie friends are blowing me up telling me it’s a dick move to poach their coach. I asked “So it wasn’t a dick move when you poached him from TCU?  Don’t be mad that he’s taking his dream job.  People don’t leave Texas to go to A&M unless they were fired.  But people will leave anywhere to come to Texas.  You just found out the hard way.”

Texas A&M baseball is on the verge of kicking the door in

Tarp (Aggie 247)
 

"One year ago, we knocked on the door. This year, we beat on the door. Next year, we're gonna kick the son-of-a-bitch in."

Former Houston Oilers' head coach Bum Phillips after the 1980 AFC championship game

One of the issues I've brought up with Texas A&M football in the past is a lack of institutional knowledge about winning at a high level and its impact on the program. The Aggies haven't had a run of sustained high level success since the 1980's and 1990's when they won six conference championships in a ten year period. They knew what it took to have a winning program. More importantly, they could go into big league games with a high level of confidence because they were used to playing in those contests and the guys on the other side of the ball hadn't done so. As a result, they made plays in key situations while other teams wilted in clutch moments.

Texas A&M's baseball team and head coach Jim Schlossnagle are now living life like their football counterparts did all of those decades ago. Schlossnagle came to College Station from TCU where he had a blueprint for building great teams and being in situations that weren't too big for him or his players. A&M fans were all too familiar with his expertise as he and the Horned Frogs beat them in back to back Super Regionals.

However….while A&M baseball hasn't been as good as Schlossnagle over the past few years, you could make the argument that it's been the best A&M athletic program (among the major men's sports) during my lifetime. They've been ranked number one at some point during a season (the 1989 Aggies). They've now earned six College World Series berths in the past 30 years.

Schlossnagle has elevated the program since his arrival, combining his baseball acumen with a culture that has played for CWS berths but hasn't done as much with those opportunities. As a result, A&M has been in the process of learning how to make the most of those moments, getting to the CWS in two of the past three seasons and winding up just one run short of a national title this season.

Last night was part of that process. It's easier to go from worst to first in the modern era of college athletics but for the most part teams have to experience failure before they can earn a high level of success...and that success has to be EARNED. They have to figure out what works and what doesn't work from a program perspective. They have to learn how to stay cool in pressure situations and be the better team. 

All of those things take time. You don't learn from them if you're not in them. Failure is often the best teacher since you're more motivated to learn from those painful lessons.

Look at Tennessee, the team that beat the Aggies. The Volunteers' championship is the product of a run in which they were making their third CWS appearance in four seasons. Even so, they found themselves just a few outs away from failing to win a title again in game two of the CWS championship. However, the hard won lessons of past failures kicked in, they righted the ship, and they proceeded to outscore the Aggies 10-1 over a ten inning stretch in two contests to eventually hold them off and take a title by the narrowest of margins.

A&M is getting there. They have a better handle on what to do as a program and in big moments.

They knocked on the national title door in 2022. They beat on it this season.

They now know more than enough to eventually kick….well, you know….it in.
