“We are delighted to welcome Erik, Jiffy and their three children back to the Clemson Family,” said Director of Athletics Graham Neff. “Erik impressed us with his integrity, his approach to running a program, and the emphasis he puts into the student-athlete experience. He knows well the expectations at Clemson, which he contributed to, through his role within the 2002 team and working alongside Jack Leggett, Tim Corbin and Kevin O’Sullivan, among others. I am confident in Erik’s ability to compete for ACC Championships and return to Omaha, and do it the right way.”

JACK LEGGETT - FORMER CLEMSON HEAD COACH

“Erik is the right fit for Clemson Baseball. His work ethic, enthusiasm, energy, coaching experience, love for Clemson and his association with and appreciation for our storied and proud tradition are traits that will lead to success. I’m excited about the future of Clemson Baseball!”

TIM CORBIN - VANDERBILT HEAD COACH

“Erik is such a natural fit. If there was any teacher or coach who was meant to be a Tiger, it’s him. He is Clemson through and through. Erik will be a great extension of the university and the athletic program. Clemson has such a quality group of coaches and Erik will add great harmony to the department. I am very happy for Jiffy, Erik and the kids, and happy for the young men who will have an opportunity to play for Erik.”

KEVIN O'SULLIVAN - FLORIDA HEAD COACH

“Erik is without a doubt the right person for Clemson Baseball. He understands the standard of the program. I am happy for him and his family, and I know Erik will be very successful at Clemson.”
