Texas still dreams of stealing big brother Texas A&M’s baseball coach as Aggies compete in College World Series final
Texas A&M baseball is having a banner year, so you know what that means: the folks down in Austin trying desperately to make it all about them, somehow! Adept as they are at that task, the rank and file Longhorn fans are beginning to let everyone know that they will be hiring Texas A&M baseball’s coach as soon as the year is out.
Ehhhhh Matt’s is overrated but it’s a decent place to enjoy ok Tex-Mex. And what are you Aggys gonna do when Schloss heads to Austin?

Mind you, this is while they have a sitting coach. David Pierce has not been fired as of the time of writing. So at least they have an appealing and not-at-all toxic culture going for them down there!
Gonna be Schloss vs Vitello for the championship and loser takes the Texas job

The cognitive dissonance of the Aggies being on the biggest stage and the Longhorns being at home is apparently so unbearably painful for Texas fans that they have convinced themselves that Schlossnagle is their coach, actually, and it’s just a matter of time until he’s in Austin. This is the conceptual equivalent of a Mavericks fan writing “2024 NBA CHAMPIONS” in his Twitter bio after the Finals concluded.
How much will Coach Schlossnagle be making at this time next year with the bidding war that's about to start for his services between the Aggies and Longhorns?

CDC doesn't take "no" for an answer and is good friends with Schloss.
I would honestly be shocked if we weren’t so used to seeing this kind of thing out of this fanbase. No success other than theirs can be abided, and when they do succeed, they can’t wait to make everyone in their immediate vicinity absolutely loathe them.
So it’s Schloss, Vitello, or O’Connor confirmed! Thanks for the info Kendall!🤘

The truth is that there is absolutely no way that Schlossnagle is going to Austin. He loves it in College Station. That has been reported not only by college baseball insiders, but even Texas’s own reporters and beat writers. The remarkable thing is that Longhorn fans simply refuse to believe them in favor of their own fantasy.
I have it on good authority that Schloss puts up with the werid cultist aggie fanbase than he does embrace it. If their season was already over, he'd be the head coach of Texas right now

Texas A&M baseball may not win the national championship. It will be a tough hill to climb against an excellent Tennessee team. But the Aggies are set up for massive future success with a coach at the helm who is there for the long term.
The Longhorns are in far murkier waters as they enter the SEC—will they even have a new coach? How can they hope to stack up against such a massively talented league, given their inability to dominate a far lesser one? These questions will continue to surround the Longhorn baseball program going forward.
