Florida baseball parts ways with coaches David Kopp and Taylor Black

The Florida baseball program will see changes in its coaching staff as pitching coach David Kopp and assistant coach Taylor Black leave. Kopp was let go following a disappointing season, while Black will join NC State as the new recruiting coordinator. This season's pitching struggles were cited as a key factor in Kopp's dismissal, though some see him as a scapegoat to shield head coach Kevin O'Sullivan. With a $1.84 million contract extending through 2033, O'Sullivan faces scrutiny if results do not improve. Kopp is expected to take time off before seeking new opportunities, while Florida aims for a more competitive future with its updated coaching structure.
