Five trips to the College World Series (CWS) in the last nine seasons. National Championships in both 2002 and 2005. Second and third-place national finishes in 2004 and 2003, respectively. Four Big 12 Conference Championships (2002, 2004, 2006 and 2007) and three league tournament crowns (2002, 2003, 2007). These are the results and the reasons why head coach, Augie Garrido, was hired to guide the Texas baseball program in 1996.
During his 12 years on the Forty Acres, Garrido became the all-time winningest coach in NCAA Division I baseball history by capturing his 1,428th career win on June 9, 2003, (a 6-5 Texas victory over then No. 1 Florida State during NCAA Super Regional action in Tallahassee, Fla.). After he brought Texas back to the CWS for the first time since 199,3 during the 2000 campaign, he returned the Horns to the pinnacle of collegiate baseball in 2002 by leading UT to a 57-15 record that produced the school's first-ever Big 12 regular-season and tournament championships, as well as, its first national title since 1983. He duplicated the feat in 2005, guiding the Longhorns to their sixth National Championship - the second-most for one school in NCAA history. Texas' rise under Garrido has been the culmination of inking 11 straight top 15 recruiting classes and producing teams that have stood tall against perennial powers such as LSU, Miami (Fla.), Stanford, and USC. Now, as he enters his 13th year in Austin, Garrido, who was selected as both the 2002 and 2005 National Coach of the Year, looks to keep the program in contention for college baseball's ultimate prize each and every season.
Garrido is one of only two coaches in Division I baseball, history to tally 1,600 or more career victories. He is also the first coach to lead teams from two different schools to national crowns (Cal State Fullerton & Texas), guide squads to National Championships in four different decades, and is one of only three coaches in history to win five or more NCAA titles (1979, 1984, 1995, 2002, 2005). Garrido is the only coach in the modern era of NCAA football, baseball and men's or women's basketball to ever lead teams from two different schools to national crowns - only football legend Pop Warner accomplished such a feat by leading Pittsburgh (1916 & 1918) and Stanford (1926) to National Championships. Additionally, Garrido has earned 12 trips to the CWS and 26 NCAA Regional Championship appearances, including eight at Texas, while garnering National Coach of the Year honors six times (1975, 1979, 1984, 1995, 2002, 2005), regional coach of the year accolades on seven occasions, (1975, 1979, 1984, 1995, 2002, 2004, 2005) and conference coach of the year distinctions six times (1987, 1995, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2007) after leading his clubs to 22 league crowns.
