Top 10 memes as Jim Schlossnagle leaves Texas A&M for Longhorns HC job
Jim Schlossnagle shocked the college baseball world when he was named the head coach of the Texas Longhorns. The announcement came less than 24 hours after the Texas A&M Aggies lost 6-5 to the Tennessee Volunteers in a winner-take-all College World Series Finals Game 3.
Following the game, Schlossnagle berated a reporter for asking him about the opening, stating:
"I think it's pretty selfish of you to ask me that question to be honest with you, but 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."
"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 could possibly give it. So write that," he added.

Schlossnagle stormed out of the press conference after the question. However, less than 24 hours later he was named the Longhorns head coach. He has faced considerable backlash for the decision, particularly due to his comments. Take a look at the top ten memes related to the move below.
