Greg Goff was elevated to the head coach of Purdue Baseball in June 2019, bringing over 450 victories and 14 years of experience to the top position at Alexander Field. Previously a head coach at four universities, Goff originally joined Purdue as an assistant coach in July 2017. He succeeded his friend and longtime colleague Mark Wasikowski, who returned to the University of Oregon in June 2019 as the Ducks' new head coach.
Goff has previously served as the head coach at Campbell University (2008-14), Louisiana Tech University (2015-16) and the University of Alabama (2017) as well as Division II University of Montevallo (2004-07). He also helped lead the Boilermakers to a memorable 38-win season in 2018, punctuated by the program's third NCAA Regional bid in program history. Purdue finished second in the Big Ten standings and was also the runner-up at the Big Ten Tournament in Goff's first year with the program.
As a head coach, Goff's teams have won over 40 games six times. Campbell was one of only eight Division I programs to win 40-plus games for three straight years from 2012 to 2014, posting 131 total victories during that span. He also won 42 games in his final season at Louisiana Tech, helping lead the Bulldogs to an NCAA Regional bid. Montevallo was a DII College World Series qualifier under his guidance and Goff also coached in the DII World Series as an assistant at Delta State.
