Cooper spent a decade at the helm of Penn State baseball but struggled to find any real success in Happy Valley. During his tenure, the Nittany Lions reached the Big Ten Tournament just once, finished with a record of 198-270, and never won more than half of their conference matchups.
Cooper was replaced in his position soon after his resignation by former Boston College skipper Mike Gambino, who has since revamped the squad with a number of commitments from the transfer portal and impressive promises to turn the program around.
