Ann Arbor — Without a college baseball coaching gig last year, Tracy Smith became an avid Netflix viewer and happily devoted himself to grandfather duties.
Smith remained involved in baseball, too, he said, but for the first time since 1997, he wasn’t a head coach. He wasn't coaching at all.
Now, Smith’s Twitter bio includes his two most important jobs: "Head Coach Michigan Baseball and proud grandfather of Maverick Smith." Smith was hired to take over at Michigan in early July replacing Erik Bakich, who left after 10 years with the Wolverines to become the head coach at Clemson.
