Two Publications Tab Dan McDonnell as Candidate for South Carolina Job​

McDonnell has been the head coach of the Louisville baseball program since 2007.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Every offseason, it seems that at some point Louisville baseball head coach Dan McDonnell gets tied to a major job opening. We've now officially hit that point in the current offseason.

On Monday, South Carolina officially parted ways with head coach Mark Kingston after seven seasons with the Gamecocks. Not long afterwards, both Baseball America and D1Baseball named McDonnell as one of their top candidates to watch.

"With no word on when Ole Miss head coach Mike Bianco might retire, this could be McDonnell’s best shot and fit to be an SEC coach if he so desires," D1Baseball's Kendall Rogers wrote.

Baseball America's Teddy Cahill cited McDonnell's time in the state of South Carolina stemming from his time as a player and coach at The Citadel, and that "if he can convince (USC AD Ray) Tanner that he hasn’t lost his fastball, he’d be a solid fit."

McDonnell has been one of the most successful coaches in college baseball during his 18 years as the skipper of the Cardinals. He sports an overall record of 742-330-1 and .692 win percentage since his hiring in 2007, has five appearances in the College World Series, and is a two-time National Coach of the Year.
