According to sources, Alcorn State’s Reggie Williams has been terminated as the Braves head baseball coach. In his three seasons, Williams had an overall record of 16-122 with eight victories being the most wins in any one season (2023). Coach Williams had one year left on his guaranteed four-year contract.
Those sources indicated that the athletic department did not provide adequate support for the baseball program citing for one, that the field was not in the best shape until mid-April after having played 26 straight games away from home. It is not known if Williams had paid assistants, but it was expressed that he never could hire a pitching coach.
Reggie Williams was building from the ground up after his August 2021 hire, and even with the players he brought in, his teams were still very young with many not over the age of 19.
The Alcorn State athletic department will begin its search for a new baseball coach.
Harvey Lee is the guy Alcorn should hire. He is a good coach who has a group of guys who can inject some cash and recruit out of Florida and Texas
