University of Alabama head baseball coach Greg Goff has been relieved of his duties, The Tuscaloosa News has learned.

The Tuscaloosa News previously reported that Goff attempted to reduce or revoke scholarships for up to 10 players in violation of NCAA rules during their exit interviews earlier this week.


Players who are still on campus were called to a 1 p.m. meeting to receive the news. UA athletic officials met with Goff on Wednesday and were in meetings throughout the morning to discuss the decision.

The question is who do they hire.  Also this late, what will happen to recruiting?   it could be another long year for Bama baseball next year.

What a mess the program is in and I don't think anyone has any idea as to which direction to look for a new head coach. I wish they could get rid of some or most of the players and let the new coach get his own but per the rules, that won't happen. All of those millions of dollars spent on the stadium and what do we have now to show for what it has meant to the program.

Looks like Byrne will start earning his money right off the bat. I guess we'll see if all the hype about him is true. I personally think it is and he will come through with a good hire.

In 2006 the football program was in a similar situation, and look where it is now, thanks to our AD Mal Moore. I think Byrne will come through as well.

One quick fix is the Jr. college route to bring in players.

No matter where you go for players you gotta have coaches to teach them. RTR!

These same players were a respectable 15-15 in SEC play last year. They like and respected CMG. Goff was a jerk from day one. He did not allow long hair, facial hair or alcohol. He talked down to them. He told them their scholarships were riding on their on the field performance. The players hated him. He lost the team so early I am not sure if the team quit on him or if he quit on the team. I am not blaming this year on the players.

Byrne knew replacing Goff at the end of the year was a possibility so he has been looking around.
