Matt Riser

In an interesting development, Matt Riser, former Head baseball coach at SLU who was fired after this year, even though his overall record and success was pretty good at SLU is now the Head baseball coach at the University of Memphis.

Rarely does a guy get fired at a Southland school and end up the following year as the HC in the AAC in any sport.

SLU was stupid to let him go.

That's some good lemonade there.

He's a Riser.

Rumor is that the SLU Athletic Director and previous Baseball Coach (Jay Artigues) and Rizer were not seeing eye-to-eye on some things.

A classic example why not to promote from within. Most large corporations that do promote from within will hire from other branches and bring someone in.

Eliminates micromanagement of the promoted’s replacement.
