This has been one of the busiest offseasons for college baseball head coaches. At least 23 programs will have new bosses this year. One of those teams will have all-new everything: the Oregon Ducks.

This will be the first season for Ducks baseball since 1981, and to get things started right, Oregon has hired George Horton for the princely sum of $400,000 a year over five years. Horton spent the last 11 seasons coaching Cal State Fullerton, a powerhouse team that won the College World Series in 2004. He’ll guide an Oregon program that is loaded with Nike founder Phil Knight’s money.

Dave Serrano was a former assistant of Horton’s at both Cerritos College and Cal State; he returns to the Titans as their new head coach after three seasons with UC Irvine. And ex-USC boss Mike Gillespie completes the circle by taking the top job with the Anteaters. That’s a seismic coaching shift on the West Coast.
