The University of Alabama has hired former Maryland head baseball coach Rob Vaughn as their 33rd head coach in school history. Vaughn replaces interim head coach Jason Jackson who took over for Brad Bohannon who was fired amid some suspicious gambling activity on May 4th. Jackson will remain with the team as associate head coach and pitching coach.
Vaughn, 35, was head man at Maryland for six seasons and an assistant for four years prior to taking over. The Kansas State alum had an overall record of 183-117 and 84-54 in Big 10 play during his tenure.
