TCU athletic director Jeremiah Donati has been careful about discussing the reports linking baseball coach Jim Schlossnagle to the pending opening at Mississippi State.
Donati initially declined comment Wednesday at Big 12 spring meetings before relenting slightly.
"I'll just generally say that whatever comes from it, we're in a position of strength and we'll be OK," Donati said.
TCU has two well-regarded assistants who could be strong candidates if Schlossnagle leaves in Bill Mosiello and Kirk Sarloos, who reportedly will be interviewing at Rice.
