Nicholls names LSU baseball assistant Brent Haring head coach

LSU loses another assistant from the coaching carousel, and Nicholls hires Brent Haring as its next head coach.

D1Baseball’s Kendall Rogers reported the new. Haring will replace former Nicholls head coach Mike Silva, who Arkansas State hired after leading Nicholls to an NCAA Tournament appearance in 2024.

Haring joined LSU in August 2023 as director of baseball operations after serving as associate head coach at BYU. This is Haring’s first head coaching opportunity in the collegiate ranks, but he previously served as head coach for the American Samoa national team.

A native of Utah, Haring spent most of his baseball career out west, but he handled BYU’s recruiting operation and should be familiar with the state of Louisiana after his stint with LSU.

Haring is the second LSU assistant to leave in recent weeks after Terry Rooney joined former Tigers head coach Paul Mainieri at South Carolina.

Haring’s hiring marks the second consecutive year that a Jay Johnson assistant has taken over a head coaching job after former LSU pitching coach Wes Johnson took over Georgia baseball in 2023.
