‘You’re the enemy,’ Lions coach Dan Campbell criticizes Schlossnagle’s exit from Texas A&M

“I hate to see him go, ’cause he’s a good coach.” On the flipside, man, hey, sayonara. So, now you’re the enemy, so let’s go beat his a**.”

Detroit Lions head coach and Texas A&M alumnus Dan Campbell shared his opinion this week about Jim Schlossnagle’s exit from the baseball program in College Station for the Longhorns in Austin.

In a radio interview Wednesday on Dallas’ 96.7 The Ticket, Campbell didn’t mince words.

“You try to put yourself in his shoes, and who knows the decisions, the reasons. What do you say, what do you not say? It’s one of those tough moments, I hate to criticize,” Campbell said. “I know this, as an Aggie, I hate to see him go, ’cause he’s a good coach. Immediately after though, he tipped his hand — if ever so slightly. On the flipside, man, hey, sayonara. So, now you’re the enemy, so let’s go beat his a**.”

Detroit begins the 2024 season against the Los Angeles Rams on Sept. 8 at 7:20 p.m. Campbell’s Aggies host Notre Dame at Kyle Field on Aug. 31 at 6:30 p.m.
