Dan Gooley is an American college baseball coach, formerly the head coach of Quinnipiac (1977–1987, 2002–2014) and Hartford (1988–1992).[1] Gooley retired following the 2014 season.[2][3]
Gooley played baseball at Quinnipiac and served as an assistant coach at Quinnipiac from 1971 to 1976.[1] Prior to the start of the 1977 season, Gooley was named Quinnipiac's head coach. Quinnipiac, then a Division II program, reached three NCAA Division II Tournaments and one Division II College World Series under Gooley.[4][5] In the summer of 1977, he skippered the Falmouth Commodores of the Cape Cod Baseball League.[6]
Gooley left Quinnipiac following the 1987 season to serve as the head coach at Division I Hartford. In five seasons as Hartford's head coach, he had a record of 101-90-1.[7][8] After spending several years as a business executive and Quinnipiac administrator, Gooley again became the head coach of Quinnipiac (which had since become a Division I member) for the 2002 season. In 2005, Gooley led the Bobcats to their only NCAA tournament appearance.[1]
