Head baseball coach Mike Bianco will be at the helm for another four years, per his and Vice Chancellor for Intercollegiate Athletics Keith Carter’s statements. Bianco’s extension, which is the maximum for public employees according to Mississippi law, was announced on Sunday.
This came amidst rumors that Bianco would become LSU’s head coach, as former coach Paul Mainieri retired. Bianco has many ties to LSU. He is an LSU graduate and former baseball player, and his son, Drew Bianco, is a current player on the team. Bianco interviewed for the position last week, however, he was not offered the position.
