Sources: Northwestern baseball chooses not to hire Brian Anderson as head coach, administration doesn’t notify players

Following the conclusion of a dreary 10-40 season, Northwestern baseball’s offseason has been fraught with continued chaos. That turmoil has only grown further in the last week.

According to multiple sources close to the Northwestern baseball program, including current and recent former players, athletic director Derrick Gragg met with acting head coach Brian Anderson on Monday, and informed the assistant coach that he would not be NU’s head coach for the 2024 season — and that an external, national search for candidates would occur. One source that spoke to Inside NU was told the news directly by Anderson himself.
