LSU baseball strength coach reportedly leaving for Texas A&M

Jeremy McMillan is returning to Texas A&M, where he spent 12 years before joining LSU’s staff in August.

The baseball coaching drama in the state of Texas has had some residual effects on the LSU program.

On Saturday, The Advocate’s Koki Riley reported that Tigers strength and conditioning coach [autotag]Jeremy McMillan[/autotag] will be returning to Texas A&M to join the staff of new head coach Michael Earley, the former hitting coach who initially followed Jeff Schlossnagle to Texas before returning to become the head coach in College Station.

McMillan joined coach Jay Johnson’s staff in August after spending 12 years as the strength coach at TAMU. Now, the San Antonio native and Texas Tech grad is returning to his home state.

Riley reported that assistant manager of applied sports science will handle strength and conditioning duties during summer ball while a replacement is found. That hire is expected to be made by the end of the month.

McMillan becomes the third LSU assistant to depart this offseason, joining associate director of program development and recruiting [autotag]Terry Rooney[/autotag], who joined [autotag]Paul Mainieri[/autotag] at South Carolina, and director of operations [autotag]Brent Haring[/autotag], who became the head coach at Nicholls.

Nicholls names LSU baseball assistant Brent Haring head coach

Jay Johnson lost another member of his staff on Tuesday.

LSU is losing another assistant to the coaching carousel with Nicholls hiring [autotag]Brent Haring[/autotag] as its next head coach.

D1Baseball’s Kendall Rogers reported the new. Haring will replace former Nicholls head coach Mike Silva, who Arkansas State hired after leading Nicholls to an NCAA Tournament appearance in 2024.

Haring joined LSU in August of 2023 as the director as baseball operations after serving as the associate head coach with BYU. This is Haring’s first head coach opportunity in the college ranks, but he previously worked as the head man for the American Samoa National Team.

A Utah native, Haring has spent most of his baseball career out west, but he handled BYU’s recruiting operation and should be familiar with the state of Louisiana after working with LSU.

Haring is the second LSU assistant to leave in recent weeks after [autotag]Terry Rooney[/autotag] joined former Tigers head coach [autotag]Paul Mainieri[/autotag] at South Carolina.

Haring’s hire marks the second straight year a [autotag]Jay Johnson[/autotag] assistant took a head coaching job after former LSU pitching coach [autotag]Wes Johnson[/autotag] took over Georgia baseball in 2023.
