OSU Baseball HC Casey retiring

[greenyellow]

Rumors are swirling that Oregon State baseball HC Pat Casey will announce his retirement today. That'd be a big loss for the program and could easily throw the order of the conference into a state of flux should OSU not continue at the same level under a new coach.

Sounds like OSU has called for a press conference at 1:30 PM so that looks to be when it's going down.

I didn't know much of this until recently, but it does sound like he's a grade-A POS.

OSU Baseball's Twitter feed has confirmed it:

Also looks like he'll still be working in a limited capacity for the athletic department:

Odd bit from their press release is that Casey's top assistant, Pat Bailey, will be the interim coach but they won't start a national search for a full-time replacement until after next season. Almost makes me think that this is either a short-term retirement for Casey to recharge his batteries or they're going to test-run Bailey as HC before deciding on whether to go outside the program.

From what Casey was saying at the presser today, it really sounds like he's just burnt out.
