OMAHA—Arizona baseball is back on the national stage, and with that extra attention comes at least one potentially unfortunate byproduct: other programs want to take your coach.
Glenn Guilbeau of the Lafayette Daily Advertiser is reporting that UA coach Jay Johnson is among those that LSU athletic director Scott Woodward is considering for his vacant baseball position.
Johnson, in his sixth season at Arizona, has the Wildcats in the College World Series for the second time in his tenure. The UA (45-16) opens CWS play Saturday night against defending champion Vanderbilt (45-15) at TD Ameritrade Park.
