As first reported late Thursday night by Maren Angus, Ole Miss has hired former Minnesota head coach Jamie Trachsel to run the Rebels softball program.
Sources confirmed the news to the EAGLE on Friday morning.
Ole Miss is yet to officially announce the hire, but Trachsel was expected to introduce herself to the Rebel team earlier today.
Minnesota was 15-9-1 when the season was cut short on March 20. One season ago, in 2019, Trachsel led the Gophers to a 46-14 record and the program’s first trip to the Women’s College World Series. She only spent three years (including the abbreviated season) with the Gophers, accumulating a 102-40-1 record in the process and making consecutive NCAA tournament appearances.
