After several weeks of intense speculation and wild rumors, Florida baseball coach Kevin O’Sullivan set the record straight on Thursday afternoon. He will return to the Gators’ dugout for his 15th season next spring.
O’Sullivan had previously been linked to LSU’s coaching position following Paul Mainieri’s pending retirement.
“I am the head coach at the University of Florida and remain fully committed to the Gators program,” the 52-year old said in a statement. “This is where I want to be, and I do not have interest in the head coach openings at any other schools.
“I look forward to continuing to build upon the success this program has experienced over the past 14 years, with the goal of bringing Florida back to the College World Series as we pursue yet another national championship for Gator Nation.
