Tennessee baseball coach Josh Elander hiring Florida's Chuck Jeroloman
Tennessee head baseball coach Josh Elander has filled the open vacancy on his coaching staff with current Florida interim head coach Chuck Jeroloman sources confirm to Volquest. It was first reported by D1 Baseball’s Kendall Rogers.
Jeroloman has been the assistant head coach for the Gators the last six season. He was elevated to interim head coach when skipper Kevin O’Sullivan went on a leave of absence for personal reasons.
Elander and Jeroloman know each other from their time at TCU. When Elander was a player for the Horned Frogs, Jeroloman was a volunteer coach. Sources say the two have remained friends during their time as assistant coaches at various stops. Sources tell Volquest, that Jeroloman will be the associate head coach and Ross Kivett will take over Elarnder’s role as recruiting coordinator.
Elander said his focus was on his staff internally when asked about his future staff at his introductory press conference on Monday.
“To our current staff, Frank the tank (Frank Anderson), father figure, we all love you. Undefeated as interim head coach in the SEC. It’s a good start,” Elander said on Monday.

“This is the first time I’ve ever done this, but my focus is to take care of the people in the building first, not worry about anything externally. I think we have some of the best people in what they do at their positions, so they need to be taken care of the right way, and that’s my main and sole focus with all the roots we have. I’m just excited because we want stability for these guys in the building.”
