The Texas A&M Aggies dropped the decisive Game 3 of the College World Series on Monday night to Tennessee, 6-5.

It was the Vols' first-ever baseball title, and after the game, Aggies head coach Jim Schlossnagle said he went to College Station "to never take another job again."

Schlossnagle was asked about the rumors of a "specific job opening" after the loss, and he even challenged the reporter, saying it was "selfish" of him to ask about it.

"I left my family to be the coach at Texas A&M. I took the job at Texas A&M to never take another job again, and that hasn't changed in my mind. That's unfair to talk about something like that…" Schlossnagle said. "I understand you gotta ask the question, but I gave up a big part of my life to come take this job, and I've poured every ounce of my soul in this job, and I've given this job every single ounce I can possibly give it. Write that."

Well, less than 24 hours after that sentiment, 247 Sports and ESPN reported that Schlossnagle was, in fact, taking another job.

However, the report isn't just any job, but rather the school's in-state rival, the Texas Longhorns.
