D1 Baseball\u2019s Kendall Rogers<\/a> broke the news on X that Nolan Cain, associate head coach and recruiting coordinator, will be leaving the program after just two seasons, heading to one of Texas\u2019 biggest rivals, the Texas A&M Aggies, to fulfill the same role.<\/p>\nIn addition to his role as associate head coach and recruiting coordinator on the Forty Acres over the last two seasons, Cain has also been the Longhorns\u2019 third base coach and has helped mentor the catchers.<\/p>\n
Cain joined Schlossnagle, jumping ship from Texas A&M to Texas when the Longhorns head coach took the gig in Austin ahead of the 2025 campaign.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In his two seasons with the program, Cain helped guide the Longhorns to a 90-29 record, a trip to the College World Series for the first time since 2022 and helped construct the No. 1 recruiting class according to both Baseball America and Perfect Game for the 2026 cycle.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Trading burnt orange for maroon is a pseudo-homecoming for the associate head coach, having spent three seasons at Texas A&M from 2022 to 2024 under Schlossnagle.<\/p>\n
Cain joined Schlossnagle\u2019s staff at Texas A&M initially as an assistant coach in June of 2021, ahead of the 2022 season, before being elevated to associate head coach before the 2024 season. In Cain\u2019s first stint in College Station, the Aggies totaled a 135-62 record and reached the College World Series twice.<\/p>\n
Schlossnagle already had plenty of work in the offseason looking to retool his roster for the 2027 season. Now, he will be in the market to fill a vacancy at an important spot on his coaching staff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In today\u2019s day and age of college athletics, change is always inevitable, whether it\u2019s roster turnovers or coaches…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":345268,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[27,29,28],"class_list":["post-345267","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-texas","tag-texas","tag-texas-headlines","tag-texas-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/345267","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=345267"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/345267\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/345268"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=345267"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=345267"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=345267"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
