UT firing the dude on game day cost A&M at least 2,runs. It's a little dirty for me, but hey all is fair in love and rivalries. Right….in todays college athletics world…no holds barred. But there is no way this wasn’t orchestrated days, or weeks, ago. And for both del Conte and Schlossnagle to do this, says a lot about their character. I’m sure this gives Texas a great chance to return to their great baseball days….but the Aggies thought Jimbo would take the to the promised land. This was not the way men with character would have handled this. Nice guys finish last. Good luck to you then.

College athletics is a dog eat dog world, school loyalties by most athletes and most coaches is just a few $$$ or few million $$$$ away from being bought. NIL caught that up to all other aspects of society; I don't blame the players or coaches, I blame the Game...

In the end, all of Schloss’s words didn’t matter. He just thought they did.
But then….neither did Chris Beard’s…..

You guys are all acting like A&M didn’t poach other schools for all of their coaches. Every major sport coach they have came from another Power 5 school. Hypocrites. Newsflash- that’s the way this business works.

Paying Jimbo that much money to leave is still hurting it sounds like. Hell, you didn't have to pay this one

Newsflash- that’s the way this business works. You’ve missed the point. No, I get it. Explain to me how it’s any different when Alabama stole Washington’s coach Kalen Deboer right after they lost in the championship game (and they tried to poach Sarkisian before him)? Or A&M breaking the bank to steal Jimbo? And then just poached Elko from Duke. And where did Buzz Williams come from? A&M took him from Va Tech. And where did Schloss come from. A&M poached him, too. So explain to me what’s different other than A&M getting shown up because it’s Texas?

Coaches preach about the portal and how it’s ruining college sports (it is) then one of them does this. It would’ve been fine without his “emotional” interview last night, now he’s just as full of it as the rest of them. Classless move and you can absolutely guarantee none of those a&m players have an ounce of respect for him as a man after it. He’ll fit right in at UT
And I called it perfectly on douchiest program in the state

But, did you listen to him excoriating the reporter when he questioned him last night? He’s a grown man, who flat-out lied when he was asked the question. As 68 said, if these people don’t have any integrity, how do we expect these kids to? Schlossnagle isn’t the be all, end all of college baseball coaches….I am sure the Aggies will find a good one. But he’s got no weight…in a world that needs some.

The whole thing is diabolical, Luke Pate said.
Just can’t believe he didn’t have some prepared generic answer. The season was over, I would understand if series was still going. Shoulda had some simple canned answer.

There is one thing I learned during my time playing ball at this level and at the next several levels. The simple fact is that most high-level baseball coaches are either good men or good coaches, but rarely both. The only one I ever played for, personally know, or encountered that I truly believe is both is Tim Tadlock.
