AUSTIN, Texas – Augie Garrido, the winningest coach in college baseball history, is out after 20 seasons at Texas.
The decision Monday comes after the Longhorns' first losing season since 1998. Texas will miss the NCAA postseason for the third time in five years.

The university said in a statement the 77-year-old Garrido will become special assistant to athletic director Mike Perrin. The school said he was "relinquishing his duties" as coach.
Garrido had one year left on a contract that paid him nearly $1.1 million. He had said he wouldn't resign and wanted to stay.
Garrido has 1,975 victories dating to 1969. He won five College World Series titles — three with Cal-State Fullerton (1979, 1984, 1995) and two with Texas (2002, 2005). Texas this season finished 25-32.
