Guys,

Sorry to be the one to pass this along, but we have learned that Coach Augie Garrido passed early this morning.  We are awaiting official news to be released from the University and his family, and will have a story up soon.

Rest in Peace, Coach. 

It's a sad day in Longhorn nation and the baseball world. 

Hook Em Coach.

Rest In Peace, Coach. I am so grateful for the years you gave us. The perspective that you brought to the game made many of us evaluate everything we knew. 

You are, and always will be, one of the true greats!  Thank you for coming to Texas when we called.

Thank you sir for your service to this great university.  Prayers to your family as they find a way to reflect, embrace, grieve, and begin a new normal.

Just read the best tribute to Augie over on OB written by one of the writers over there, Dustin McComas. 

If any of the mods on here know, or are friends with Dustin, I wish you would ask him for permission to print it on this site. It's that good. 

R.I.P. Augie.

A true legend.  RIP Coach Garrido.
