For years, Kansas baseball coach Ritch Price has seemingly been on the hot seat, only to come up with a strong season or two just as the fans start calling for a change. This season, fans were certainly back to calling for a change after Price's squad went 20-35 (.364 winning %), including an embarrassing 30-3 loss (yeah, that's not a typo) to TCU on May 14th.
Today, we found out that Kansas will not be firing the long time fixture in the program, as he instead announced his retirement. There have been no reports that Price was pushed to retire to avoid a firing, but it does seem reasonable that it could been suggested behind the scenes.
