Texas makes explosive announcement days before officially entering the SEC

This will go down as the most incredible move in college sports as Texas announces the hiring of a new head coach of Texas Baseball from their biggest rival. Texas A&M has lost their baseball head coach Jim Schlossnagle less that 24 hours after Texas A&M lost in the College World Series.

“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,” said Kevin Eltife, Chairman of the UT System Board of Regents. “He had a historic run at TCU, took Texas A&M to heights they’d never seen, and the way he develops his players and works with his coaches and team is really something special. I couldn’t be more excited to watch him work his magic on the Forty Acres.”

UT President said what everyone is thinking.

“What a home run hire,” said Jay Hartzell, UT President. “Coach Schlossnagle is the best in the business, his long list of accomplishments is incredible, and his track record of building great programs is well documented. We are the premier baseball program in the country with legendary coaches, our six national championships and record 38 College World Series appearances, so it’s certainly fitting that we hired a coach of his caliber to lead us. We’re looking forward to great days ahead with Coach Schloss leading our Longhorns.”

Gary V has said, “Attention is the new currency,” well Texas has made eveyone in the entire sports world stop and listen. You could call move by Texas AD Chris Del Conte insane, like a slam dunch over Shaq by MJ, or you could call it diabolical as Joh Pate did on X. Whatever you call it, Del Conte is clearly playing a different sport called business.

Texas did not just hire away the head coach, they hires their entire coaching staff: Jim Schlossnagle, Nolan Cain, Michael Earley and Max Weiner.
