Things are getting interesting on the rumor front regarding Texas A&M baseball’s head coach search, just days after Jim Schlossnagle’s shocking departure to rival Texas after three seasons at the helm and just a day after the Aggies’ College World Series Finals loss to Tennessee.
On Friday, D1Baseball’s Kendall Rogers, who has been the most consistent source since Schlossnagles’ exit, provided yet another update on Texas A&M AD Trev Albert’s search to replace the man who brought the program to two CWS appearances in two of his three seasons.
After noting that Oklahoma head coach Skip Johnson, former hitting coach Michael Earley, and Wake Forest head coach Tom Walter were legitimate candidates, Rogers has confirmed that Johnson is no longer in consideration and will likely sign an extension to stay in Norman.
Rogers also stated that Albert has three final candidates in line before making a decision, which likely includes Earley and Walter. The current roster players clearly favor Earley returning to the program in some capacity after expressing so on social media.
SCOOP: Texas A&M is narrowing down its candidates, and @OU_Baseball head coach Skip Johnson will stay put in Norman as he is expected to sign a new deal with the #Sooners sometime today. Skip was most definitely in the mix, but #Aggies appear to be zeroing in on three guys.
