It' not been announced, but our Pitching Coach will be the new HC.

And now it has been announced :)

I assume Berry is coaching out the post season?

He’s retiring after the season, so yeah. Same as Corky did.

I'm happy about this... I think it was a great move.. Glad we have competency at AD.

If only our hiring practices in football had that kind of continuity, right?

I mean, you don’t necessarily have to hire from within every time, especially if the coach you’re replacing is taking most/all of his staff elsewhere, but geesh. If a hotshot OC climbing his career ladder gets you to 9+ wins, maybe don’t replace him with a career defensive assistant making retirement plans.

Yep.. I know a conference mate would disagree with that, but I think we'd still be on the upward swing and would've been in a great position.
