Summary
Kevin Schnall, the head baseball coach at Coastal Carolina, is leaving to become the head coach at the University of South Carolina. Schnall had previously stated his commitment to staying at Coastal Carolina, but reportedly spoke with South Carolina about the opening and accepted the job on June 9th. Despite the timing, it appears Schnall did not lie to Coastal Carolina about his job status, as South Carolina was still pursuing other candidates until their seasons ended.
Our Reading
The routine arrives with confidence.
Kevin Schnall’s departure from Coastal Carolina to become the head coach at South Carolina was not a surprise, but the timing of his exit created poor optics. Schnall had recently signed a contract extension with Coastal Carolina and had spoken about his vision for the future with the Chanticleers. However, it appears South Carolina’s pursuit of other candidates, including Scott Forbes and Steve Sabins, delayed their decision to hire Schnall. Schnall’s acceptance of the South Carolina job on June 9th was likely a result of the other candidates’ seasons ending, rather than any duplicity on his part.
Coaches speak, contracts are signed, and jobs are taken.
