Greg Goff (born September 24, 1970) is an American college baseball coach and former pitcher. He is the head baseball coach at Purdue University. Goff played college baseball at Jackson State Community College from 1990 to 1991 and Delta State University from 1992 to 1993. He served as the head coach at the University of Montevallo from 2004 to 2007, Campbell University from 2008 to 2014, Louisiana Tech University from 2015 to 2016 and the University of Alabama in 2017.

Coaching career

[edit]

Goff was hired as the head coach of the Alabama Crimson Tide baseball team on June 17, 2016.[1] He led the team to a 19–34–1 season before being fired for possibly violating NCAA rules by seeking to revoke some player scholarships.[2][3]

Following his dismissal, Mark Wasikowski hired Goff as a volunteer assistant for the Purdue Boilermakers baseball staff.[4] Because Goff accepted a volunteer position, Alabama still had to pay his salary over the length of his contract.[5] On June 13, 2019, just two days after Wasikowski left to become the head coach at Oregon, Goff was promoted to head coach.[6]
