Pierce had two years left on a contract that paid him $1.2 million annually when he was dismissed by the LonghornsTexas parted ways with baseball coach David Pierce on Monday after eight seasons in which the Longhorns won the Big 12 three times but made only three appearances in the College World Series.
In statements put out by the school, Pierce and athletic director Chris Del Conte said they met after the season ended and agreed it was time to make a change. Pierce dismissed the team's pitching coach after last season and took over those duties himself. The Longhorns' team ERA ballooned from 4.18 to 4.91, its worst mark since 1999. Team ace Lebarron Johnson struggled as the Longhorns finished in third place in the Big 12, was swept out of the conference tournament, and failed to advance to a super-regional for the first time since 2019.
