Why did Jim Schlossnagle leave Texas A&M for Texas? What to know of coach's move

Texas baseball coach Jim Schlossnagle will be at the center of the college baseball world starting Friday night when he leads the No. 1 Longhorns against his former team in Texas A&M.

Schlossnagle made the controversial move from the Aggies to Texas just one day after Texas A&M fell in game three of the national championship to Tennessee last season at the College World Series.

Schlossnagle told reporters the night of Texas A&M's national championship loss that he took the Aggies job to never take another job again. That turned out to be untrue, as he was announced as Texas' coach the next day.
