The Tuscaloosa News has learned Greg Goff is expected to be named the University of Alabama’s new head baseball coach.
Goff arrives at Alabama after two years as head coach at Louisiana Tech. He led the Bulldogs to a 42-20 record this season and an NCAA regional berth, where they were defeated in the regional final by host Mississippi State.
Louisiana Tech went 25-27 in his first season in 2014, giving him a 67-47 record during his time in Ruston. The Bulldogs hadn’t made the NCAA tournament since 1987 before this season.
He takes over for Mitch Gaspard, who resigned at the end of the season after the Crimson Tide missed the NCAA tournament for the second straight year.
