Alabama hires Rob Vaughn; Maryland names Matt Swope
Alabama lured Rob Vaughn from Maryland to be the new head coach of the Crimson Tide baseball team Monday, and the Terrapins wasted no time replacing him with Matt Swope.
Vaughn is a two-time Big Ten Coach of the Year who went 183-115 in his six seasons leading Maryland.
Vaughn, 35, replaces Brad Bohannon, who was fired by Alabama on May 4 for his role in a betting scandal.
Jason Jackson went 13-6 as interim head coach
