KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Tennessee baseball coach Dave Serrano will have another year to try getting the Volunteers back up the Southeastern Conference standings.
Athletic director Dave Hart said Thursday that Serrano will return next season. Serrano's contract, which pays him $450,000 per year, was set to expire June 30. Hart said he planned to extend Serrano's contract by one year, likely at the same terms.
"Very simply stated, I still believe in Dave Serrano," Hart said at a news conference. "I still think there is hope for us to turn the corner with our baseball program.
