When Texas Longhorns athletics director Chris Del Conte hired former basketball coach Chris Beard, the two met 45 minutes north of Lubbock in Plainview and had sealed Beard’s departure from the Texas Tech Red Raiders over breakfast at McDonald’s.
When Del Conte brought longtime friend Jim Schlossnagle back from College Station to take over as the new baseball coach, the athletics director waited near the cemetery for Schlossnagle to finish his final obligations at Texas A&M in the hours after losing in the College World Series finals.
