Texas Hires Jim Schlossnagle as New Baseball Coach
A New Era Begins in Austin
The University of Texas has made a splash in the college baseball world, hiring Jim Schlossnagle away from Texas A&M to lead its baseball program. Schlossnagle, who has a proven track record of success at both Texas A&M and TCU, will bring his winning ways to Austin.
A Competitive Contract
Schlossnagle's contract with Texas is reportedly worth a base salary of $14 million per season, a significant increase from the $13.5 million he was making at Texas A&M. The contract also includes a provision for his salary to increase by $50,000 each season through 2029, when the contract expires.
A Legacy of Success
Schlossnagle has established himself as one of the most successful college baseball coaches in the country during his tenure at Texas A&M. In his third year at the helm, the Aggies won the College World Series in 2022, their first national championship in baseball. Prior to that, he led TCU to multiple College World Series appearances and seven NCAA Tournament berths.
With his track record of success, Schlossnagle is expected to quickly turn the Texas baseball program into a national contender. The Longhorns have a long and storied tradition in baseball but have struggled to reach the College World Series in recent years. Schlossnagle's arrival has fans and players alike excited about the future of Texas baseball.
