As I just said in the other thread the Aggies have to be livid about this.

With his arrogance he will be a perfect fit for UT.

LOL. This might be the most Aggie-esque (a coach leaving one day after losing NC and saying he'd never leave) and Horn-esque (money whipping the hottest coach they can find to cover their prior coach's transgressions) thing ever

Just makes me appreciate even more that coach Scott Drew decided to stay with us

Even if they add a Designated Hitter to a 9-man baseball team, how can Aggies justify including a "12th man"??

Asking for a friend . . .

This is exactly why there will never be a Power 3 or Power 4. The B1G and SEC are so far ahead of everyone else monetarily that they will just eventually suck all the talented coaches and players out of the ACC and Big 12 or then fight among themselves like this situation. Enjoyable hearty laugh in this situation with the Horns putting Little Bro back in his place.

And THIS is the perfect example of why you can't have nice things with the whorns in your conference. Good riddance!

I want nothing but failure for those two taxpayer-funded schools that don't operate in the interest of the state.

A pox on both their houses.

Our vibrations were getting nasty. But why? I was puzzled, frustrated... Had we deteriorated to the level of dumb beasts?

I suspect Texas will have a dynasty again under again under Schloss and the beauty is A&M has to face him annually from here out.

You. Just. Can't. Outspend. The. wHorns. It won't be the too distant future before UT's coaching AND player payroll will rival the Dallas Cowboys. I'll predict they will soon dominate the SEC in football and baseball.

Now the A&M assistants are headed to Austin. This is like what Bama did to UW in football.

Rumors are floating that Whorns were trying to recruit Aggies during the World Series via burner phones

Huge if true… that's tampering

FWIW, the last 2 coaches that Cow raided from an in-state rival were David McWilliams and Chris Beard. How'd either of them work out?

I don't know why anyone would go from Aggie to UT, it's a lateral move salary wise and you are giving up job security. Schloss better make Omaha every year or he's out

He's a great coach, but he's never won a CWS. So I'd hold up on the dynasty talk.
Stefano DiMera

It's not a lateral move in any aspect... salary or otherwise.

He's going from $1.3 mill to $3 mill. that's almost TRIPLE.

I'm basing that on track record of what he has done at places with significantly less than UT. I know A&M isn't exactly on as tight a budget as TCU for example, but still…Additionally only 3 years in A&M was probably headed toward having dynastic type of run.

Don't you think the Gomers would pony up if he came to them and said "I have an offer I can't financially pass up..."?

But I generally agree. It's not really lateral. UT is still UT. But A&M has plenty of booster $$.

I think they drew the line in the sand on what they would pay a baseball coach.

Just like we did the same on Mulkey.

This was nothing more than UT saying mine is bigger than yours.
Robert Wilson
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Yeah, maybe. It's just not that much money in the grand scheme.

Our admin more or less wanted Mulkey to leave, IMO.

Makes you wonder if Schlossnagle had done something internally to wear out his welcome.

Schloss could become another UT coaching legend.

He's just short a stripper girlfriend with a pet monkey.

He has already abandon his wife & kids for another woman, so there's hope.

I just don't understand why he said what he said about going to CS to never take another job again. Just seems like he could have answered the question another way.

"He asked a question that was an obvious question," Schlossnagle said. "I wish I could have answered that better. But in the moment, all 30 minutes after the last pitch, all I could think about was our players. And I really wasn't in the mood to talk about myself for the future."

He sure got over thinking about those players pretty quickly.

Coaches and politicians.
Thankful for CSD.

aTm failure is always great entertainment, but this was about as low-down dirty as it gets! Ughhh. Texass athletics is truly evil.
