Five coaching hires for Texas A&M baseball that would stick it to Schloss and Texas

Five coaching hires that could keep Texas A&M baseball right at the top of the sport, help keep Schloss and Texas down

One of the biggest fears among Texas A&M baseball fans when Schloss jumped ship for Austin was that he and the staff he brought with him would essentially be able to pluck whoever they desired off of the Aggie roster. Even though several players have jumped in the portal by now, you have to think the fact that Schloss’s reputation being dragged through the mud by national media is making that less and less of a likelihood.

Another way to stop that from happening is to make enough of a splash with this next hire that the players stick in College Station rather than being lured to Austin, or anywhere else. If Schloss is without a big time roster, then he could be in for a rough ride.

I think the NIL is in place to make this happen with the right hire. The Aggie donors are highly motivated to keep this program as intact as possible, and give them the best resources available.

With that in mind, you have to think that the Aggies will be able to essentially pull whoever they want in the entire nation, with the possible exception of Tony Vitello and definite exception of the coach who just burned them on the way out.

Coaching hires that will keep Texas A&M baseball on top: Mitch Canham, Oregon State

This one will be a tough pull, but the Beavers are consistently playing excellent baseball up in Corvallis. Canham is an alumnus of the school, which means he could be tough to root out from up in the Northwest, but I think this is a guy the Aggies should give a hard look at.

Oregon State is consistently mentioned as one of the top teams in the nation. They weren’t as successful this year as they have been in years past, but the Beavs have been a premier program for quite some time.

Canham is a young guy, and a national champion as a player, which are both pluses in my book. However, he may have less experience in the state of Texas as a recruiter, which could be an issue.
