D1Baseball continues to expand its interactive elements to its users, and in a new series called ‘Candid Convos with Coaches’, we will spend an hour with various coaches around the country getting their pulse on the sport as a whole, their program, and their pathway to Division I Baseball.

Two weeks ago, D1Baseball's Kendall Rogers, Aaron Fitt, and Mike Rooney sat down with Texas Head Coach David Pierce. Pierce has spent the last six seasons with the Texas program. In that time, he's guided the Longhorns to the College World Series twice and was a national semi-finalist last season. The 'Horns have a national title-worthy club coming back in 2022, and he discusses that upcoming squad, 2021, plus has some great stories about Rice legendary coach Wayne Graham, his path to coaching, and our very own Kendall Rogers.
