Earlier this week, Pitt baseball coach Joe Jordano received a three-year extension to remain as baseball manager of the Panthers. After his signing, Jordano commented a bit in a Trib-Review article. Specifically, he mentioned an ability to do more with recruiting thanks to athletics director Scott Barnes:
“(Athletic director) Scott (Barnes) has been very supportive in clearing some hurdles for us internally that, in my opinion, will help us move everything forward,” he said.
Jordano said those “hurdles” include improvements in recruiting and staffing.
“A lot of things that the public wouldn't see, but are very important to what we do,” he said.
