Coaching career

Goff was hired as the head coach of the Alabama Crimson Tide baseball team on June 17, 2016. [1] He led the team to a 19–34–1 season before being fired for possibly violating NCAA rules by seeking to revoke some player scholarships. [2] [3]

Following his dismissal, Mark Wasikowski hired Goff as a volunteer assistant for the Purdue Boilermakers baseball staff. [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]
