The new USC coach talked about replacing Ray Tanner and what an honor it is to coach the premier college baseball program in the country. Â He also explained how he originally joined the USC staff, which involved a lengthy delay as his son battled cancer. Â Joining the USC staff was a dream come true and also enabled his family to live in his wife’s hometown (she’s from Columbia).
