I can confirm that D2 Salem University (WVa) has opened as head coach Robert Ford has departed for a new position.

Ford had been the Tigers head coach for the past past two seasons, going 18-8 in year one, and 6-6 this past year in the COVID shortened season. He also served as an assistant for two seasons before being promoted to head coach back in 2019.

Prior to his time at Salem, Ford had been an assistant at NAIA Our Lady of the Lake, JUCO’s Paris JC and Neosho County CC, as well as D2 Texas A&M-Commerce.

An official announcement is expected shortly.
