Clemson nears conclusion of baseball coach search - Charleston Post Courier
Three days into the College World Series, Clemson is getting closer to finalizing who it will trust to lead the Tigers back to Omaha. All’s quiet on the Clemson front, though that may come to an end this week as an impending announcement is expected to declare Jack Leggett’s successor. Clemson had 24 different head coaches in the baseball program’s first 60 years of existence, dating to late in the 19th Century, but only Bill Wilhelm and Leggett lorded over the Tigers for the next 57 years. The seventh-year College of Charleston head man who played for the Cougars from 1996-99 interviewed Friday, and he continues to be of high interest for Radakovich and company, who only early last week met for the first time with Lee to gauge his... Lee took home $193,000 last year, which was a 67. 6 percent raise from his 2014 earnings. If Lee stays put, Clemson could also go the route of Maryland head coach John Szefc or Virginia assistant Kevin McMullan, who reportedly interviewed. It was this year Maryland succumbed to McMullan’s Cavaliers, who are back in the College World Series after finishing runner-up in last year’s tournament. Source: www.postandcourier.com
