That reporter should be the one to ask him first question at texas introductory presser

[foxtown]

Tenn here!Thats ridiculous!!!That A&M players do not deserve that period!!!!This man built up a good group of guys on this team.That statement he made before talking about defending the words he was saying I thought man these guys got a genuine person and coach!!Trash!!!Just piece trash!!!!A&M fans and players yall do not deserve that treatment!!!Yalls fans and team was amazing!!

[StrueSlies]

Why should any of the players or coaches at Texas believe anything he says. That guy has NO creditability now.

[GoatedAtNFS]

this dude better not go anywhere near college station or he’s toast

[agentcodybanx]

That guy is a joke. Gets upset about the question meanwhile it was the right question to ask at the perfect time.

[oukeith]

Reminds me of Lincoln Riley leaving Oklahoma

[lightingbolt]

I didn’t realize Benedict Arnold was a baseball coach in Texas.

[Phowardtx]

His bold lies in the presser will not soon be forgotten. Prospects take note, this is one way to galvanize the SEC (and entire media landscape) against you! I'm glad everyone gets to see first hand the kind of classless bravado we had to put up with for years in the Big 12.

Lane Kiffen did the same thing, Karma caught up with him and i really hope it catches up to Schloss!!
From a Volsl fan Aggie players were sold out!!😢

We get it, in all sports, this happens.

A coach will say one thing when questions are brought out, and not because the media member wanted to, but its his job to, and we see this all the time, coaches in the heat of the moment say something regrettable, and has to backtrack a day later after cooler heads prevail to backtrack his statements or to answer it a better way.


But get real here, this coach was already lined up to exit A&M before he even was asked this and to basically lambasting that media member for it, then come out the next day, and try to apologize for it directly to him and it wasnt so much an apology, but basically a backhanded apology because he was already signed at Texas and to come out and say, i should have had a better answer or statement.

Coaches are asked these things after a high profile school has the opening for the job and your rumored as the recipient to replace that vacancy.

The least he should have done was wait til the next day to officially announce your exiting Texas A&M and not literally hours after your loss, to get the chance to tell your players your leaving. On top of that, you don't even make a public announcement your leaving Texas A&M but leave an e-mail to the school stating your going to Texas, is downright cowardice on his part after basically bullying the media and adamantly telling the media your never leaving the program then can't even tell the program you are face to face, because you don't want to face the backlash from those comments you made the very night you lose the CWS.

This is pathetic on his part and should never be trusted as a coach ever again after that.

The mad dog close up when he is ranting makes this 100 times funnier

[Liam___ohara___]

Jimbo is now the second hated dude in college station history 😂😂… us Aggie fans need a break dude 😂

[chrisdance]

Zero integrity! Should have zero credibility with players, families, and the public. A total fraud.

[davidcooper]

I bet he has been secretly recruiting for TX. Word is that TX recruits had been told he was coming. He simply should have said I’m not going to address that question. We just lost the championship.

[sonic-qhed]

never take another job. he said that. then took texas job. 😮

[RetroJ]

This is no different when Bobby Petrino left the Atlanta Falcons in the middle of the season to take the job at Arkansas. We also seen how that scenario played out in the end.

[kengy]

This is why I am all for students getting their money and leaving when they want. All he had to say was “no comment.”

[mathewmcfool]

lol thank you doggy, i would never of known

[tedskullhammer]

All coaches deceive, but that particular deception was unique and low, even for coaches. Wow. I have no horse in this race, but I have to imagine that Texas fans aren't thrilled about having a coach with such low character.

[andrewp]

This is the reason why NIL is needed for college athletes. it's about the money and opportunity. Don't let guys like saban fool you in thinking college sports is worse off due to NIL.
