I think most wish he'd handled that question better, but there may be more to this story than meets the eye. From what I've been able to piece together, this deal was done soon after aggy's Georgia series (so late April or early May), and a lot of people knew about it. The guy that posed the question in the post-game presser was not an actual journalist, but an employee of Texags, and from what I understand the Texags folks had been sitting on this story for at least a couple of weeks. (Why didn't they publish it sooner? I have no idea, maybe they thought their AD would throw a Hail Mary and entice him to stay.) From what I've heard, Schloss knew that Texags knew, so in his mind the intent of the question was to force him to reveal his plans at the worst possible time for him and his players (just after losing the national championship). Schloss interpreted the question as a big "f**k you" from Texags, a group he's helped over the years, and it infuriated him. I wish it had played out differently but it didn't, but right now I'm going to support the guy 100% because he's our new head coach.
