What Others are Saying About Erik Bakich:
Vanderbilt head coach Tim Corbin:
"Erik played a very important role in the resurgence of our program and he put us on the map, nationally, in recruiting. He has all the skills to be a very successful coach for a long time. I am very excited that Maryland has chosen to go in this direction. The players and the University will really enjoy him."
"I am very proud and happy for Erik and his wife, Jiffy. He is a one-of-a-kind person, coach, recruiter and friend. When I came to Vanderbilt, I brought him along as a 24-year-old recruiting coordinator with no experience and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made."
Florida head coach Kevin O'Sullivan
"Erik is a tremendous choice as a head coach by the University of Maryland and is one of the hardest workers in the college game. There is no doubt that Erik and his staff will do a great job and make Maryland a consistent winner."
New York Yankees scout Matt Hyde
"Erik Bakich is a highly-motivated, energetic young coach who is 100 percent invested in his players. As a recruiter, Erik will follow every lead and holds character, not just ability, as an important part of the package. In Erik, you are getting someone who will help raise the level of expectations for Maryland Baseball and surround himself with a team full of capable, hard-nosed, committed ballplayers, who will compete with distinction in the ACC. Maryland picked the right guy to lead its program.
