TCU baseball has reportedly found its next associate head coach, with KRNV’s Kirsten Moran tweeting Friday afternoon that the Horned Frogs are expected to hire Nevada head coach TJ Bruce to the role. Former TCU associate head coach Bill Mosiello departed from the program and accepted the head coaching position with Ohio State earlier this month.

Bruce served as head coach of the Wolf Pack for seven seasons, leading Nevada to a 171-168 record and two Mountain West Conference titles. The Wolf Pack earned a berth in the NCAA Regionals during the 2021 season, marking the program’s first NCAA Regional appearance since 2000. Prior to Nevada, Bruce was an assistant coach at UCLA from 2011-15, helping the Bruins to a 192-102-1 record, four Pac-12 Conference titles and the 2013 CWS title.
