Canes set to hire Arteaga as head coach

Jun 26, 2023

Miami set to hire J.D. Arteaga as head coach, first reported by Kendall Rogers of D1baseball.com and confirmed by multiple sources to CanesInSight. Arteaga has been Miami’s pitching coach since 2003 under Jim Morris and Gino DiMare – he also played at Miami from 1994-1997.

Sources told CanesInSight that Arteaga had been a serious candidate for the job from the beginning of the search, although there were other interested suitors. He is expected to take a step back from his role working with pitchers and will bring in a new pitching coach.

Sources have told CanesInSight that Arteaga has been forming his staff over the last couple weeks in preparation for the opportunity – there is expected to be a strong influence of coaches with MLB experience on staff. Former UCF coach and Miami catcher Greg Lovelady is also heavily in the mix for a role.

Didn't we know going into this that Rad doesn't care about baseball at all?

Vegas already has Johnny Ruiz as the prohibitive favorite to replace JD circa 2027.

The moar things change with Canes beisbol, the moar they stay the same.

Like I just said, I'm a Rad guy but THIS type of hire is actually something someone here in semi-retirement would pull.

has rad done anything positive yet ?

He's spending tons of money thinking a beautiful building for football will magically turn Mario into the next Nick Saban.

According to sources, apparently Temple University was about to offer their head baseball coaching job to JD Arteaga. Rad wanted to make sure he didnt make the same mistake as his predecessor. According to Rad's office, hiring Arteaga now may have saved UM $4 million in buyout costs.

Sounds like Rad is on top of this stuff. So good to finally have a competent AD in the building.

lol well at least our facilities are nice. maybe after him, we can have a legit AD who can hire the right people. i still think going after the former UCF AD who is now at UTenn i think was the right move. oh well.

I understand the disappointment with not getting a national name but can someone explain to me why JD is such a bad hire? Any positives or strengths he brings to the table?

In 21 years as an assistant, name one school that offered him a job other than Miami?
