@FullertonBaseballFanThat's disappointing. I was hoping with his coaching record he would be up for a head coaching position somewhere, but at least it's Division I job. He really turned around SF State baseball, which was no small task. Back in the common CCAA days the Golden Gators had a bad team that only seemed to put it together when they played UCD.

I don't think Schifano would have been an upgrade to Tommy Nicholson if the Aggies were in a position to make a coaching change.

I believe Nicholson advanced the program pretty close to its ceiling in 2024, and very few other coaches would have done better. Baseball is one of those D-I men's sports where a lot of potential recruits have serious designs on playing in the pros, not necessarily pursuing a four-year degree. Some go to junior colleges to get drafted early (Bryce Harper). UCD (in baseball) can't really get the athletics-first/only players some of the other Big West programs can and UCI/UCSB have location advantages when pursuing the academically-minded talent. This situation will not get better in the Mountain West.

With the elimination of their baseball program, SF State will likely fulfill its goal to remove the baseball field in favor of green space.
