Officially announced on Thursday, former Michigan Wolverines baseball coach Erik Bakich is now the head man of the Clemson Tigers.
Matt Connolly at Clemson Sports ($) reported Tuesday that Clemson had contacted Bakich, and he was thought to be the most probable candidate to get the job. Rivals reported late Tuesday night that Bakich accepted the job.
In 2002, after playing a brief professional baseball career, Bakich started his coaching career as the volunteer assistant hitting coach at none other than Clemson, possibly tying him to this head coaching job opportunity.
