Clemson parts ways with Leggett

After 22-years at the helm of the baseball program at Clemson University, Jack Leggett will not be retained for another season. Clemson University Athletic Director Dan Radakovich announced the decision Thursday afternoon. “This decision was not an easy one,” Radakovich said. “Jack Leggett has served this institution with distinction for 24 years, the last 22 as head coach. It’s fair to say Clemson Baseball has been competitive over the last few years, but our objective is success, defined by competing for ACC Championships and winning in the NCAA Tournament. I have high expectations and I know our fans and student-athletes have great expectations for our baseball program.” Leggett won 955 games and advance his team to the College World Series six times with the last appearance in 2010. Clemson finished the 2015 baseball season with a 32-29 record and dropped a pair of games at the Fullerton Regional of the NCAA Tournament. Leggett became Clemson University’s 26th head baseball coach in 1994. For all his accomplishments, Leggett was inducted into the ABCA Hall of Fame in January 2014. An immediate search is now underway for Leggett’s successor.
