Kerrick Jackson was not my first choice to be Missouri Baseball’s next head coach. I wanted Rob Childress. The former A&M coach lived in the postseason in his 15 seasons with the Aggies, and he knows what it takes to win baseball games in the SEC. However, when the indications began pointing to Jackson being named the next head coach I decided the least I could do is come in with an open mind. After all, DRF has proven she’s pretty good at this hiring coaches thing.
But as I began to dig into Jackson’s past I quickly became more of a fan.
