KNOXVILLE – When it comes to Dave Serrano’s future at Tennessee, the embattled baseball coach said Tuesday night that only one opinion matters, and it belongs to new athletic director John Currie.
“I will continue to work hard and dedicated for this university until John Currie tells me my opportunity has been taken away,” Serrano said after his team’s 14-8 win against Belmont at Lindsey Nelson Stadium.
Currie, who started as athletic director on April 1, made his first coaching move last week, when he fired men’s tennis coach Sam Winterbotham.
Opinions over which coach could be next to go have been swirling in the Knoxville sports media cycle since, with much of the focus landing on Serrano, who is in his sixth year leading the baseball program.
Serrano’s record at Tennessee is 155-157, and his record against Southeastern Conference opponents is 55-114.
