The Ole Miss softball program has selected Jamie Trachsel to lead the team into the next decade, and she has the full support of Ole Miss athletics director Keith Carter.
Trachsel’s hire on April 24 ushered in the next era for Rebel softball, moving past former coach Mike Smith, who resigned from his post last December.
Coming from Minnesota, where she led the Golden Gophers to the Women’s College World Series in 2019, Trachsel is tasked with getting the Rebels to the winner’s circle after reaching the Super Regionals in 2017 and 2019.
“The expectation is high, and what I really loved in our conversation is she referenced winning a national championship multiple times,” Carter said during Trachsel’s introductory press conference on Tuesday.
