COLUMBIA, Mo. — Missouri baseball is getting its reset.
The Tigers have a new coach for the 2024 season, bringing former assistant Kerrick Jackson back to Columbia to lead a program that has sunk to the bottom of the Southeastern Conference.
Mizzou won 10 SEC games in both 2022 and 2023, only a mild improvement from an eight-win 2021 campaign. That put MU last in the SEC East last season, prompting the hire of a new coach.
Jackson was an assistant at MU from 2011-2015, a tenure that included a 2012 Big 12 crown. In between his jobs in Columbia, Jackson coached at Memphis and Southern University with other stops as an agent and president of MLB’s Draft League.
