Source: softball coach Ehren Earleywine to stay at Mizzou
Mizzou will retain softball coach Ehren Earleywine, a source told ABC 17 News. This comes a week after MU officials confirmed Earleywine did not violate Title IX. An MU spokesperson tells ABC 17 News there is no official word as of yet from Mizzou.
Earleywine’s job came into question this past May when it became public that former athletic director Mack Rhoades started an investigation into Earleywine’s behavior. Rhoades said the investigation stemmed from player complaints.
On May 8th, Earleywine said, “If I survive, then it will be my best coaching job to date.”
Earleywine has survived, and he will now coach his 11th season with Mizzou this upcoming year. In his 10 seasons with the Tigers, Earleywine has a 453-154 record, which includes three trips to the Women’s College World Series.
