Jim Schlossnagle leaving for Texas. Media slandered the heck out of him. Staff followed him to Texas. Some Texas fans expected to get Laviolette and other studs to follow him, but A&M made a desperation move and hired Michael Earley to “keep the band together” and keep their best players from going to the Longhorns. Much like Ole Miss giving Golding a VERY swift promotion to permanent head coach. When Earley was hired and kept the roster intact, the media did lots of dunking on Texas. Aggies were riding good vibes with a preseason number 1 ranking…

And it was all Longhorns from then on. SEC title while A&M had an epic failure of a season. Needless to say there’s no more media slandering of Schlossnagle. Because winning fixes everything.

Except it’s college baseball, so almost no one cared.

I would be fine with a loss in the quarterfinals of the playoffs as SEC champs. That’s about the same comp right? Lol

The most comparable situation in terms of media response may ironically be Kiffin Tenner->USC

Funny that I really haven’t heard a lot of noise about how Penn State took like almost 20 dudes from Iowa st. We will be bashed if we just take a handful from Ole Miss

Or it could be a coach leaving for an arch rival like the OP explained but sure let’s pretend Ole Miss had the prestige of 2009 Tennessee

80% of the country considers Ole Miss->LSU more of a lateral move than Tenner->USC, hate to burst your bubble

The fact that I sort of understand what you’re trying to say here says a lot about how short of an attention span Americans have in 2026. iPad generation probably only remembers the 2023 seasons to now

keep throwing money at remaining relevant. Texas is the post-divorce dad trying to be cool throwing money at shite.

Your baseball coach is a total fricking cocksucker slimeball. He hasn't won shite. Augie isn't walking through those doors again.

Your football coach might be solid if the boosters could get out of his way and he could kick his demons. Maybe. Lambos don't buy championships though.

You can't just money whip your way to titles. Go enjoy irrelevancy while flexing dick about landing Arch.

Texas is a joke. They insist upon themselves. "LOOK AT THIS EXPENSIVE ROSTER", but oh shite your QB can't complete a pass. THAT'S the difference. We know we're the dysfunctional alcoholics at the holidays, but when we hit, we fricking hit. Texas just continues to get bigger tits and more facelifts for a program that, to be honest, has seen better days.

But hey, keep telling yourself you're big time champ.

Apples to Oranges comp. College Baseball is not very big outside of the Southeast and Texas

O, Kelly, and who? One of those won a ring with the GOAT team. IDGAF what we pay him to frick off. Still more successful than any UT coach of the last 2 decades.
