Clemson University fired baseball coach Jack Leggett today after a disappointing 2015 season that saw the Tigers finish with a disappointing 32-29 (16-13) record. The Tigers surprisingly made the NCAA Tournament, but they were a #3 seed and the last team into the tournament. Leggett's firing means Clemson will be searching for their third head coach since 1957 when Bill Wilhelm was hired so coach Bob Smith could devote his full attention to the football team. As part of his termination, Leggett will receive a $200,000 buyout.
Clemson will begin their search for a new head coach immediately, the top internal candidate is likely current assistant and former Clemson shortstop Bradley LeCroy.
