The search for Jack Leggett’s replacement at Clemson appears to be over as Athletic Director Dan Radakovich and Monte Lee put the finishing touches on a contract Wednesday afternoon, according to sources.
Leggett was let go on June 4th after serving 22 years at the helm of the Clemson program, winning 955 games and advancing to the College World Series six times with the last appearance in 2010. Clemson finished the 2015 baseball season with a 32-29 overall record and dropped a pair of games at the Fullerton Regional of the NCAA tournament.
Lee, who has spent the past seven seasons at the College of Charleston, agreed to become just the third baseball coach Clemson has had since 1958 – Leggett was hired in 1994 following a 36-year tenure by the legendary Bill Wilhelm.
