FWST: Jim Schlossnagle didn’t talk to Texas, says TCU best job in country

TCU baseball coach Jim Schlossnagle, who signed a contract extension Monday, said he did not talk to Texas or any other school that might have wanted to hire him away from Fort Worth.

“I never spoke with another school, me personally,” he said, calling the interest flattering, but simply the result of a good year. The Horned Frogs completed a 49-18 season with two semifinal losses at the College World Series last week.

“We’ve built this program to the point where I don’t think there’s a better job in the country, and that’s not a slam on any other place,” Schlossnagle said. “Every place has its unique strengths and obstacles, and we have obstacles here, too. But for me and my family, from a personal side and a professional side, there’s never been a better fit. I don’t foresee that changing.”
