Exclusive Q&A with new Southeast Missouri State baseball coach Andy Sawyers
Tuesday, August 2, 2016
Andy Sawyers was announced as the newest head baseball coach at Southeast Missouri State on Friday and officially introduced to the public on Monday. Coming off two years as an assistant at Kansas State, this is Sawyers first Division I head coaching job, though he did head up Hutchinson (Kans.) Community College earlier in his career. He takes over a program that is coming off an NCAA Regional appearance under Steve Bieser, who stepped down to take the head job at Missouri in June. Sawyers sat down with the Southeast Missourian on Tuesday to talk about his experiences and making things work in Cape Girardeau. The interview has been edited for clarity and length.
