head coach fred jordan25th Season | The Citadel, 1979Citadel Record: 798-632 | Career Record: Same

Fred Jordan is in his 25th season as the head coach of his alma mater’s baseball program with a record of 798-632, making him the winningest coach in Southern Conference history.

Jordan has instilled the ideals of belief, faith and trust into The Citadel baseball program, and players are known for playing “The Citadel Way” – Long, Hard and Fast. The Citadel baseball program has been recognized for its tenacious pace of play and tremendous discipline that Jordan sets forth in the everyday rigors of practice and throughout the season.

Over the past 23 seasons, The Citadel has averaged more than 33 wins a season including 43 in 2010, just three shy of the school record. On March 31, 2010, the Bulldogs blanked Charleston Southern 5-0 to give Jordan his 642nd career win and move him past Chal Port as the winningest coach in school history.

A 1979 graduate of The Citadel, Jordan has led the Bulldogs to seven SoCon tournament championships and berths in the NCAA Regionals (1994-95, 1998-99, 2001, 2004 and 2010) while the team has also captured five regular season conference crowns. The Citadel has an incredible mark of 60-29 (.674) in the SoCon tournament and won the title six times without suffering a loss.

The Citadel has won a game in four of its seven appearances in the NCAA tournament under Jordan, most recently a 7-2 victory over Virginia Tech in the opening round of the 2010 re-gional in Columbia, S.C.

At the conclusion of the 2010 season, Jordan received the SoCon Coach of the Year Award for the fourth time in his career following his selection in 1995, 1999 and 2002. In addition to the 43-win season, the Bulldogs also won 41 games in 1999 and have captured at least 31 victories in all but five campaigns with Jordan at the helm.

The success enjoyed by the Bulldogs under Jordan has been reflected in the number of play-ers The Citadel has sent to professional baseball. Beginning with Gettys Glaze in 1992, a total of 34 players have been selected in the MLB Draft, with Dallas McPherson, current assistant coach Britt Reames and Chris McGuiness reaching “The Show.”

Jordan was named The Citadel’s head coach on Jan. 14, 1992, becoming the fifth man to hold that position in the program’s modern-day history (beginning in 1954). He was selected to replace Port, his former college head coach, when the Hall of Famer announced his retire-ment in 1991 after a 27-year run.

Jordan received his bachelor’s degree in physical education from The Citadel in 1979 and a master’s degree in education in 1987. He lettered as a pitcher for the Bulldogs from 1976-79 and won an Ace (Pitching) Award and was a member of a SoCon championship squad his senior season.

A Charleston native and 1975 graduate of Garrett High School, he is married to the for-mer Debra Mattox of Charleston. The couple has a daughter, Kristen, who graduated from Clemson in 2004, and a son, Kyle, who played baseball for his father and graduated from The Citadel in 2010.
