    From the Fayetteville Observer in Fayetteville, NC (30 miles from Campbell University):

    http://www.fayobserver.com/sports/co...a4bcf6878.html

    Greg Goff's bio: http://www.gocamels.com/sports/bsb/2...es/goff_greg00
    • Played college baseball at Delta State
    • Former assistant coach at Delta State (1994-97), SE Missouri State (1998-99), Kentucky (2000-03)
    • Former head coach at Montevallo (2004-2007)
    • Head coach at Campbell University (2008-2014) [Campbell went 41-18, 49-10, and 41-21 in their last three seasons under Coach Goff.]
    Coach Goff led Montevallo to a 152-84 record in four years, including a trip to the Division II College World Series in 2006. He then led Campbell to a 224-174 (rough estimate) record in seven years at Campbell including 131 wins in the last three seasons and a trip to the NCAA Division I Baseball Tournament earlier this year.

    Re: Baseball. LA Tech to Introduce Baseball Coach at Friday A.M. Press Conference

    Coming off a Big South regular season championship and a school record 49 wins in 2013, Greg Goff returns for his seventh season as head baseball coach at Campbell University.
    The Camels have won 90 games over the last two seasons, posting the school's first pair of 40-win campaigns, winning the Big South's North Division title and finishing as the conference's tournament runner-up in 2013. The team was ranked nationally for the majority of the season, climbing as high as No. 23 nationally.
    In August 2013, Goff was named one of Perfect Game's 10 rising college coaches in the country.
    Goff is 336-237 overall in 10 seasons as a collegiate head coach, notching his 300th career victory in a March 13 triumph over East Carolina at Jim Perry Stadium. He carries a 183-153 mark through six years at the helm in Buies Creek, including a 90-28 mark over the last two seasons.
    Nine Camels were named All-Big South after 2013's record-breaking season, including junior hurler Ryan Thompson as the conference's Pitcher of the Year. Goff, meanwhile, was the league's unanimous choice for Coach of the Year.
    Goff has guided four All-Americans in Thompson, Michael Felton, Brent Graham and Ben McQuown, and two Academic All-Americans in David Olson and Josh Holskey over the last two years.
    Campbell again ranked among the nation's leaders in several statistical categories, with Ben McQuown and Ryan Thompson becoming NCAA national statistic champions. McQuown led the nation with a school record 54 stolen bases, while Thompson topped Division I with a stingy 0.88 ERA.
    As a team, Campbell ranked eighth in batting (.314), 15th in scoring (7.1 runs per game), sixth in stolen bases (130), third in times hit by pitch (124), 11th in on-base percentage (.404), seventh in ERA (2.63), 22nd in hits allowed per nine (7.95) and an outstanding fourth in win-loss percentage (.831) nationally.
    The team also tied or set records in games played (59), stolen bases (130), sacrifice flies (43), shutouts (6), innings pitched (531.0), fewest walks per nine (3.23). Campbell's pitching staff set both a school and a Big South record with a 2.63 team ERA.
    Campbell has set 77 different school or individual records over the last six years, including 10 last season, highlighted by the team’s win total.
    Goff piloted the Camels to Campbell’s first 40-win season in 2012, boasting 41 total wins, a 24-win increase from the previous year.
    Campbell's return to the Big South Conference was highlighted by the club leading the league in hitting with a .314 batting average en route to a 15-9 second place regular season finish. CU placed three student-athletes on the Big South first-team all-conference charts and one member on the second-team.
    Michael Felton, who was also a First Team All-Big South performer, highlighted the Camels’ individual accolades with a NCBWA Second Team All-America nod. The All-American honor marked Campbell’s first at the Division I level.
    Felton ranked among the nation’s leaders in hits and batting average, finishing the season as Campbell's all-time single season leader in hits (103), singles (87) and at-bats (243) after transferring from Gateway Community College. The Tempe, Ariz. native’s 103 hits also set a Big South Conference single season record.
    Matt Sergey was a first-team all-conference pitcher who finished his senior season with a 3.38 ERA and 75 strikeouts. He helped start Campbell's Big South run with a complete game shutout of Winthrop in the league opener, earning him conference Pitcher of the Week recognition.
    Jake Kirkland joined Felton and Sergey on the all-Big South first-team after finishing second among league leaders in RBI (55), fourth in hits (79), eighth in runs scored (47), third in doubles (19) and third in total bases (123). Kirkland smacked a walk-off home run against Valparaiso in a 3-2 Camel victory on March 10. He also had a three-run go-ahead homer in the eighth inning over Charleston Southern that helped Campbell to a 5-2 league win over the Buccaneers.
    David Olson rounded out the CU all-conference representatives with his second-team selection. Olson was second in the league in doubles (20), seventh in total bases (112) and hits (75) and eighth in RBI (44) and slugging percentage (.523).
    Josh Holskey, a three-time CoSIDA Academic All-District honoree, was named Third Team Academic All-American, marking Campbell’s fifth to earn the award.
    An 8-6 home win over No. 18 NC State marked another highlight win for the Camels in 2012, marking the fifth consecutive Goff’s squad has downed a nationally ranked opponent. The win also pushed Goff’s record against Tar Heel state competition to 43-19.
    Goff coached the Camels to wins over nationally ranked Stetson (No. 26), in-state ACC foe Duke and Big 10 member Northwestern in 2011. The CU skipper also coached Ellis Lowe to career program records in hits, at-bats, runs scored, total bases, doubles, RBI and games played.
    In 2010, the Camels set 19 school records, including stolen bases (119), hits (696), doubles (159) and fewest walks allowed (3.73/game). The program also completed back to back winning seasons for the first time since 2001, and the program's most wins (28) in nine years. 2010 also saw wins over nationally ranked East Carolina and perennial in-state power NC State at Taylor Field.
    In his second campaign, Goff continued his rebuilding of the Campbell baseball program as he led the Fighting Camels to their first winning season since 2001. The 27 wins set by the 2009 squad was the most victories since 2001 (33) and the mark sits tied for seventh in the Campbell record books. Coach Goff also piloted one of the most offensively gifted teams in Campbell history as the Fighting Camels were Atlantic Sun best in five offensive categories and Campbell was represented by three different players were listed 1-2-3 as the best hitters by average in the league.
    Campbell also listed well in the NCAA offensive rankings standing in the top-50 in 10 offensive categories, while 15 players ranked in the nation’s top-50 in nine offensive categories.
    In his inaugural season at the helm of the Fighting Camels, Goff led the team to the most wins since 2005 and registered one of the greatest turnarounds of the year in Division I. His 2008 squad set five new team or individual records, while ranking in the top 43 nationally in five different offensive categories. The Camels 21-win season was a 10-win increase over 2007, and posted the most wins against Atlantic Sun opponents since 2001, with 14. The postseason run to the A-Sun Tournament semifinals was the program’s first third round appearance since 2000.
    He was introduced as the head baseball coach at Campbell University on May 30, 2007.
    Goff, who also had stops as the pitching coach at the University of Kentucky, Southeast Missouri, and Delta State, is a collegiate coaching veteran.
    The native of Jackson, Tenn., has coached 70 all-conference players, 26 all-region players, 14 All-Americans, three conference player of the year honorees, a conference pitcher of the year, two national players-of-the-year and 41 players who have gone on to play professional baseball, including three from his 2013 squad at CU. Goff has also had six former players reach the big leagues, and has enjoyed three trips to the College World Series in his career.
    In his four years prior to Campbell, Goff guided Montevallo to a 152-84 (.644) record, including a 90-35 (.720) mark over his final two seasons. His 2006 Falcons won the South Central Region championship and advanced to the Division II College World Series after setting a school record for wins. In 2007, Montevallo again reached the South Central regional championship game and again broke the school single-season victories mark.

    Under Goff’s guidance, Montevallo progressed from 26 victories in his first year (2004) to 36, then 43 and 47 in 2007. The 2006 ABCA South Central Region Coach of the Year, Goff’s squad was ranked third in the final 2006 Collegiate Baseball NCAA Division II poll after reaching the College World Series for the first time in the program’s history. He was also recognized by the Alabama Baseball Coaches Association as its Coach of the Year for all divisions.

    In four seasons at Kentucky, Goff helped guide the collegiate careers of future Major League baseball hurlers Brandon Webb and Joe Blanton. An eighth round choice in 2000 by the Arizona Diamondbacks, Webb won the 2006 National League Cy Young Award after winning 16 games and compiling a 3.10 earned run average. Blanton was a first-round selection of the Oakland Athletics in 2002, who reached the team’s starting rotation three years later.

    While working under 25-year Kentucky skipper Keith Madison, Goff also coached 2003 New York Yankees 16th-round selection Heath Castle, Major Leaguer Andy Green, and former USA Olympic Team player John Wilson.

    Goff began his coaching career in the fall of 1993 at his alma mater Delta State. In his four years at DSU, the team reached the Division II College World Series twice (1994 and 1996). He went on to spend two years at Southeast Missouri State (1998-99), where he coached All-American and Toronto Blue Jays draft choice Ryan Spille.

    He pitched on both the junior college and senior college levels, while earning his Associate’s degree from Jackson (Tenn.) State Community College (1991) and his Bachelor of Science in education from Delta State (1994). Goff also earned a Master of Education from Delta State in 1996.

    I agree that the failure of the last coach was primarily on him, but we really do need to increase our resources at least some to have a successful program year in and year out. A good coach can win with what we provided Sim, a good coach can win more with better support. It is my opinion that our baseball program is at least somewhat underfunded. Do I expect us to be Rice every year, no. But I see no reason why we cannot be a top 3-4 team in the conference each year with visits to the NCAA playoffs as a regular occurrence.

    I see that LaTech alumnus Stan Williamson hired him at Campbell back in 2007.

    I'm looking forward to the press conference!
