Clemson Baseball: Possible Coaching Replacements — Andrew Boardwine, RTR
The Clemson baseball program will have to make a decision on a replacement Head Coach in the upcoming weeks, a task they have not had to do for over two decades. As a matter of fact, Clemson has only had two coaches since the year
1958 when they hired Coach Bill Wilhelm. That is a total of 57 years combined Coach Wilhelm and Leggett have coached the Clemson baseball team.
Most of us do not even know what a baseball coaching search looks like, but let’s take a look at some possible replacements for Coach Leggett that would be tangible and, hopefully, successful hires by the Clemson Athletic Department.

CLEMSON – The steamy conditions that highlighted the afternoon session of
Dabo Swinney’s high school camp Monday were nowhere to be seen in the evening session, and TigerNet was on hand for the first three periods of the session.
Let’s jump right in, and we are going to include nuggets from both the afternoon and evening sessions.

Who will replace Jack Leggett?
Andrew: Obviously, everyone would love to see Tim Corbin of Vanderbilt or Kevin O’Sullivan of Florida, but those may not be tangible options. I’m not saying they wouldn’t leave their respective programs, but it would be a surprise to me if they did. I really like Randy Mazey of West Virginia or Jim Schlossnagle from TCU. If Clemson could score either of those or Monte Lee from College of Charleston, I believe they would have made a solid hire.
Ty: Jeff Szefc, Maryland’s head coach, is my choice as Clemson’s new baseball coach. He led Maryland to the Super Regional before falling to UVA.Monte Lee, College of Charleston, is my dark horse pick. He has averaged about 40 wins over seven seasons and he would be able to continue recruiting this state but at a higher level.
Tim Corbin, Vanderbilt, is my dream pick because of three reasons. First, he has Vandy entrenched as a top program in the SEC. Secondly, he was an assistant at Clemson so he knows the area and the program well. Lastly, he was a coach at my alma mater Presbyterian College and I know the guy can coach and players love him.
