‘I know many will be upset,’ Jim Schlossnagle speaks after leaving Texas A&M for Longhorns

Former Texas A&M baseball coach Jim Schlossnagle issued a statement via an Aggies athletics department press release after the news was confirmed that he was departing College Station to become leader of the Texas Longhorns in Austin.

“I would like to thank General Welsh, Trev Alberts and the 12th Man for an incredible experience during my time at Texas A&M,” Schlossnagle stated Tuesday evening. “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. The run to the national championship game was truly a remarkable one this year. I will savor the memories and true friendships I have made there for a lifetime.”

Let’s be clear, Jim. “Many” people in Aggieland aren’t upset about your decision, they’re upset that you blatantly dissembled to their faces and insulted a credible reporter in the process.
