According to a report from Kendall Rogers of D1Baseball.com (who is generally very “in the know” about these things), Kansas State athletics director Gene Taylor has found the replacement for Brad Hill — former OU and Virginia Tech head coach Pete Hughes.
This is not exactly inspiring news for K-State baseball fans. Hughes has coached Division 1 baseball since 1999 when he took over as the head man at Boston College. He took a relatively moribund Eagles squad and turned them into a regular participant in the Big East conference tournament, while never making an NCAA Regional appearance, before leaving for another rebuilding job at Virginia Tech after the 2006 season.
