Texas A&M fired their baseball coach and rumor has it that they are after Dave Van Horn. Any news from U-Pig fans about this?

I heard this as well but just don't see it happening. Van Horn hopefully will remain a Hog and I think that he wants to continue there.

No interest in A&M, Arkansas coach says

Arkansas Coach Dave Van Horn said Tuesday he is not a candidate to replace fired Texas A&M Coach Mark Johnson. Johnson was terminated Monday after the Aggies finished 30-25-1 and failed to make the Big 12 Conference Tournament.

The Daily Oklahoman of Oklahoma City reported in today’s edition that Van Horn and Cal State Fullerton Coach George Horton were among the leading candidates to replace Johnson, who coached for more than two decades at Texas A&M. Texas A&M Athletic Director Bill Byrne was the athletic director at Nebraska when Van Horn coached the Cornhuskers.

"I haven’t been contacted, and I wouldn’t be interested," Van Horn said Tuesday in Hoover, Ala., after practice for today’s SEC Tournament game against Florida. "I don’t know the situation down there, and I feel bad for Coach Johnson. I’ve known him for a long time and coached against him, and I’m disappointed for him that this has happened."

Van Horn is a former Arkansas player in his third year as the Razorbacks’ head coach.
