Golloway Steps Down as East Central University Baseball Coach
ADA, Okla. – East Central University Athletic Director Matt Cole announced on Thursday that Sunny Golloway has stepped down as the head coach of the Tiger baseball program after one season to pursue other opportunities.
"It is with a heavy heart that I am resigning from East Central University as head baseball coach," Golloway stated. "First and foremost, I want to thank Athletic Director, Matt Cole, for his commitment to forwarding the program with the new facility upgrades of the bull pen, practice field, warning track, renovated dugouts, and the batting cage. It has been a true honor to be a part of seeing the facilities change in such a short time. I believe under Matt Cole's guidance and with the firm direction of President Godwin a new head coach will have tremendous success at East Central University. I would like to thank everyone that I met in Ada that helped me through my first year back as a college coach without my beautiful bride Charlotte."
Golloway was hired as the program's head coach for the 2023 season on May 25, 2022.
"While coach Golloway was here a short time, he accomplished so much for the ECU baseball program." ECU President Wendell Godwin said. "He was able to bring in resources to enhance our baseball facilities while bringing so much recognition to our program."
Prior to his time with the Tigers, Golloway spent majority of his collegiate coaching career at the Division I level with successful stints at Oral Roberts, Oklahoma, and Auburn.
"Coach Golloway made an immediate impact on every aspect of our baseball program," Cole said. "His efforts to improve the direction of the team and facilities will be the most impactful for years to come."
The search for a new head coach will begin immediately.
