FAYETTEVILLE — Nearly five decades after arriving in Fayetteville, Norm DeBriyn worked his final day with the Razorbacks on Monday.
DeBriyn, the hall of fame baseball coach who holds the Arkansas record for seasons coached (33), conference championships (3) and wins (1,161), retired from the Razorback Foundation, the athletics department's private fundraising arm where he had been an executive since his retirement from baseball in 2002.
DeBriyn, 74, rose to the No. 2 position within the foundation and was interim executive director for a short time in 2015.
"This has been in the works for maybe a year or so," DeBriyn said.
