Starkville, MS (My Sportsbook) - Mississippi State baseball coach Ron Polk announced he will resign, effective at the end of the current season. Polk is the winningest coach in Southeastern Conference history. "It goes without saying that we are most appreciative of the outstanding job Ron Polk has done for Mississippi State baseball," MSU director of athletics Larry Templeton said. "His decision does not come as a surprise because we had a conversation about this timeline even before this season started." Polk is in his 29th season as head of the Bulldogs baseball program, his 35th as a collegiate head coach and his 40th in all levels of coaching college baseball. He has won 1,360 games as a college head coach, ranking among the nation's top 10 all-time winningest coaches, the fifth-most wins among active NCAA Division I baseball coaches. He became the winningest baseball coach in SEC history in 1997. "With Ron making his decision public at this time, it will allow our institution to properly put together a process for the selection of our next head baseball coach," Templeton added. |
