Nicholls has decided on Brent Haring as the Colonels’ new baseball coach, according to D1Baseball.
Haring served as director of operations at LSU during the 2024 season.
He replaces Mike Silva, who recently left after three seasons at Nicholls to become the new head coach at Arkansas State.
Prior to his arrival at LSU, Haring served as the associate head coach at Brigham Young University.
Haring, who was promoted to associate head coach in 2023, coordinated BYU recruiting, working with infielders and supervising team defense for 10 years with the Cougars.
Joining BYU in 2012, the Cougars won the West Coast Conference regular season titles in 2016, 2017 and 2019, along with the WCC Tournament crown in 2017 in his years with the program.
He served as head coach of the American Samoa National Team and its various divisions since 2010. In January 2019, the team defeated Australia, ranked No. 7 in the world, and took second place at the Oceania U-18 Baseball Championship in Guam.
Haring was an assistant coach at Utah Tech for three seasons. He has also coached at Harding University, Mount Olive College, College of the Ozarks, and Southern Virginia.
