“I wish I could have talked him into leaving Virginia and coming to replace me at LSU, but he wouldn’t bite,” Mainieri said. “He loves it where he’s at. He loves Virginia. He wants to be the coach at Virginia and nowhere else.”

Mainieri considers O’Connor one of his closest friends. O’Connor, 50, worked as Mainieri’s top assistant for nine years at Notre Dame. When Mainieri coached the U.S. Collegiate National Team in the summer of 2018, he picked O’Connor as the pitching coach. They talk about once a week, Mainieri said.
