Jerry Meyers answers questions Monday at Carolina Stadium
USC has announced the hiring of Jerry Meyers as assistant head coach for the baseball team. Meyers, who served as an assistant at South Carolina from the 1997-2004 seasons, returns to Carolina to coach the pitchers following six years as head coach at Old Dominion.
Tanner and Meyers press conference
“It is great to welcome back Coach Meyers to the Gamecock baseball program,” said South Carolina head coach Ray Tanner. ”Coach
Meyers was with me at the beginning of my tenure at South Carolina, through the first eight years that included three College World
Series appearances. I’m excited to have him returning to lead our pitching staff. His wife, Chris, and daughters, Audrey and Riley, are very much a part of our family and we are ecstatic to have them back.”
Meyers helped turn around the Old Dominion baseball program in his previous six seasons (2005-10) leading the Monarchs to the top
of the Colonial Athletic Association including a co-regular season championship in 2007 and the top seed at the CAA Tournament.
That 2007 squad featured the top pitching staff in the CAA with a 3.97 ERA and 471 strikeouts.
