Andy Cannizaro resigns from Mississippi State, cites 'poor decisions'

Andy Cannizaro's time as the Mississippi State baseball coach has officially come to an end, the school announced Tuesday.

Citing "poor decisions" that led to his resignation, the New Orleans native asked for forgiveness from fans and "people affected," he said in a release from the school.

Multiple reports late Monday said Cannizaro was likely to be fired with cause.

Cannizaro is a former LSU coaching assistant who starred as a player at Tulane. He left LSU in November 2016 to be the head coach at Mississippi State. The Bulldogs in his lone season as coach won 40 games and reached the Super Regional round of the NCAA tournament and lost to LSU.
