It appears that the Texas A&M Aggies coaching search is starting to reach its end.
one of the top candidates - Virginia's Brian O'Connor - was taken off the boardAnd on Saturday, that list began to grow even smaller, with Oklahoma coach Skip Johnson - who had reportedly interviewed for the job already - imminently expected to sign an extension to stay with the Sooners.

"Texas A&M is narrowing down its candidates, and head coach Skip Johnson will stay put in Norman as he is expected to sign a new deal with Sooners sometime today," college baseball insidersaid on X. "Skip was most definitely in the mix, but Aggies appear to be zeroing in on three guys." Oklahoma has had Johnson at the helm since 2018, nearly winning the entire tournament in 2022. Johnson has helped Oklahoma win over 40 games in two of the last three years.
Fortunately for Texas A&M even with Johnson officially out, the Aggies will still have plenty of names to consider for the position., some of the top coaching talents in the country, including Wake Forest's Tom Walter and former Aggies hitting coach Michael Earley - both of whom have also interviewed for the job - as well as a third candidate he did not name publicly.
