Coaching career
Goff was hired as the head coach of the Alabama Crimson Tide baseball team on June 17, 2016.[1] Goff led the Crimson Tide to a 19–34–1 season before being fired for possibly seeking to revoke some scholarships of players in violation of NCAA rules.[2][3]
Goff was hired by Mark Wasikowski to join the Purdue Boilermakers baseball staff as a volunteer assistant.[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]
