Texas A&M baseball coach Jim Schlossnagle is leaving the Aggies for rival Texas. The move Tuesday comes after Schlossnagle led the Aggies to a runner-up finish at the College World Series. The Aggies lost a best-of-three series with Tennessee for the championship. Schlossnagle replaces David Pierce who was fired after eight seasons at Texas.
FILE - Texas A&M head coach Jim Schlossnagle watches warm-ups before an NCAA baseball game against Florida on Saturday, March 16, 2024, in Gainesville, Fla. exas A&M will play Tennessee in the best-of-three College World Series final beginning Saturday night in Omaha, Nebraska. Both teams are seeking their first national championship in baseball.
“Although I know many will be upset with my decision, I chose to make a change to join a longtime friend to continue my career as a college baseball coach,” Schlossnagle said in a statement released by Texas A&M. He worked with Texas athletic director Chris Del Conte when the two were at TCU together from 2009-2017.
Texas won the Big 12 three times and advanced to the CWS three times under Pierce, who had two years left on a contract that paid him $1.2 million annually. Schlossnagle’s name immediately surfaced as likely target for Texas, even as the Aggies were preparing to play the CWS final. After Texas A&M lost to Tennessee, Schlossnagle bristled at a question about the Texas job.
