Since Erik Bakich left the Michigan Wolverines for Clemson, the Wolverines have been on the hunt for a new skipper. A few candidates immediately surfaced, such as UConn head coach Jim Penders and the Detroit Tigers pitching coach Chris Fetter.
Well, you can scratch both those names off the list, as they both withdrew their names from consideration of the position on Tuesday.
Penders released a statement confirming he would be staying at UConn, even quoting Bo Schembechler saying, “Those who stay will be champions.” Meanwhile, Detroit Tigers manager AJ Hinch said Tuesday that Fetter told him and Tigers GM Al Avila he was going to remain with the ballclub.
