No College Baseball Head Coaches have been hired straight into a MLB Manager position since 1979.

Who was the Manager and what MLB team did he go to and what College team did he leave?

Jim Leyland - Pirates

Or, Bobby Cox - Whichever team

Nope...

 

[Jackcrevol]

Nope...

Only other possibility I could think would be Yogi Berra, but have a feeling that was waay before '79.

Edit: NM. I misread the question.

Florida makes me want to puke. Getting Ole Miss vibes from 2 years ago barely get in Tournament then win it. BS.

I don't give a **** if Florida wins today, I will be the biggest Clemson fan in the Super Regional. Lesser of 2 evils.

College baseball games are not over in the 5th inning just bc one team takes a lead over the other and appears to have momentum.

Thank you for attending my Ted Talk.

This works for our games too I have heard.

Well they aren’t on our side of the CWS bracket so we’d only face them in the Finals.

Pulling for UNC to finish the tiggers.

Thanks, I don't know anyone who believes the game is over in 5 innings but good talk.

 

[jakez4ut]

So I'm rooting against the Gayts this game. Against LSU the next.

eh, i think FL/UK in the supers is kinda meh. send OK St to Lexington and see what happens.
Gimmie Clemson vs Ok St.

definitely rooting for UNC.

Oregon State or UC-Irvine go to Lexington I think. OSU vs Florida goes to Clemson

Speaking of Florida, here's some fun.

easy
Dick Howser was plucked from Florida St to manage the Yankees
He had been an assistant with the Yankees in the past

It's really a difficult transition from going to being a College Head Coach to a MLB Manager.

 

[Orangeburst]

Hooker was so elusive in pocket.

You could say that about every sporting event, not just college baseball. And yes, I gave up on Evansville after the 3rd inning of the 7th game of their Regional.
