Jim Schlossnagle, former head coach of Texas A&M baseball, has joined the Texas Longhorns. This move follows a conversation with Texas A&M Athletic Director Trev Alberts, who suggested it was okay for Schlossnagle to move on if he felt it was the right decision. Schlossnagle's departure has led to a significant shake-up in the Texas A&M baseball program, with several players entering the transfer portal, including star outfielder Jace LaViolette. Texas A&M is considering Michael Earley, a former assistant under Schlossnagle, as a potential replacement. Earley has garnered support from former players and is seen as a strong candidate for the head coaching position. Additionally, Texas A&M made attempts to hire other prominent coaches, including Tony Vitello and Brian O'Connor, but were unsuccessful. Quinn Ewers joked about Texas poaching Schlossnagle, saying, 'Took the whole staff.' Other candidates for the A&M job include Skip Johnson and Wake's Tom Walter.
Great stuff here from my guy @JoshMCallaway on the timeline of everything that went down this week with OU coach Skip Johnson, Texas A&M’s interest in him, and ultimately his extension to remain with the Sooners https://t.co/Z5eaVEqyTx https://t.co/qkq3ZLqIB0
Some scoop on the @AggieBaseball search: * A&M made a very furious run ($$) for Tony Vitello. It shot its shot, but TV stayed put and loyal to a program that has given him the keys to the castle. * A&M also went after UVA's Brian O'Connor, but very dififcult to get him out of…
In the last week Michael Earley has - coached Texas A&M in the College World Series finals as an assistant - followed Jim Schlossnagle to Texas - returned to A&M to take the head coaching job https://t.co/O3KAn35fir

Two things on the Michael Earley hire: 1) I expect every A&M player in the portal to stay put given this news. 2) Keep an eye on a Power 5 head coach to be Earley’s top assistant. #Aggies https://t.co/cDOMjar3bY
Mike Earley to @HoustonChron while attending Jim Schlossnagle's presser at Texas (as one of Schlossnagle's new Longhorns assistants): “I’m still trying to balance the emotions of losing that game just a few days ago." https://t.co/iLZH8DZrD4
Aggie brass meeting with @earleybaseball as we speak, set to hire the former assistant as next A&M head coach. A wildly popular move within the program and a guy who won Trev Alberts over in a big way during interview process.

A&M replaced their football coach with a Jimbo assistant, and now trying to replace their baseball coach with a Schloss assistant all because Texas stole their head coach. https://t.co/Pg234VXv13
The first domino to fall after Jim Schlossnagle left Texas A&M is a big one. Jace LaViolette, a superstar outfielder and potential No. 1 overall pick in 2025, entered his name into the portal less than 24 hours after Schlossnagle’s decision. https://t.co/FDdTf10QkI https://t.co/wyHSqrdh98

Very good article. A conversation Schlossnagle and AD Trev Alberts had prior to the postseason sticks out: “(Alberts) said to me, ‘You know, Jim, if you ever don’t feel like this is the place for you, that’s OK, and it’s OK to move on.’ I was a little taken aback by that, and… https://t.co/hBfkBUuTgn
This interview with Jim Schlossnagle in the Telegram is nuts. Trev Alberts apparently told him, "‘You know, Jim, if you ever don’t feel like this is the place for you, that’s OK, and it’s OK to move on." https://t.co/6XIsS6WqAp

Think A&M would rather hire one of the Schloss assistants, which would make the most sense. But at the same time it looks embarrassing after your biggest rival snatched your HC. If Aggies can put pride aside, Earley should be the call.
