It wasn't the first time Rob Vaughn was uncertain about his prospects for job opportunity with the Maryland baseball program. Vaughn, whose responsibilities with the Terps had increased since he was hired in 2012, was getting ready to interview for the program's head coaching position after Virginia Tech hired away John Szefc, Maryland's head coach of the past five seasons.
Vaughn entered his interview with Terps athletic director Kevin Anderson having just contributed to a 38-win season in 2017 as the program's associate head coach and hitting instructor. But Vaughn was just 29 years old at the time he interviewed for the job, which would make him the youngest head baseball coach in a power five conference if he were hired.
