On Friday afternoon, Ohio State Buckeyes head baseball coach Bill Mosiello suddenly and shockingly announced his resignation from his position of head coach. The decision seemed to come out of nowhere, and now he’s explained why he made the move.
During an interview with Colin Gay of the Columbus Dispatch, Bill Mosiello revealed that he made the decision to resign from his position at Ohio State in order to return to Texas and reunite with his family.
“It was the easiest decision ever. I’ve got to be with my family,” Mosiello said. “I’ve been away from my family for the past two years. So that was it. Columbus was awesome. The people were awesome. It’s a horrible situation having to leave the players and the way it has to go. There’s just no right way to do it.”
Mosiello took over as Ohio State’s head coach two years ago, leaving his position at TCU. But even though this was his “dream job,” Mosiello will now be returning to TCU in the same assistant coaching role in order to be closer to his family.
“Me chasing my ambition here at my dream job to be away from my family, I wanted it so bad and make it work,” Mosiello said. “It just couldn’t happen. It couldn’t happen. It’s really that simple.”
