The Murray State Racers have agreed to terms with Steve Prohm to return him to the program as the Head Coach once again. This move comes after former Murray State Head Coach Matt McMahon left the program to be the next Head Coach of the LSU Tigers. Prohm was fired by the Iowa State Cyclones in the Spring of last year after going winless in conference play and finishing with an overall record of 2-22 on the season. He saw plenty of success with Murray State when he was last the Head Coach there.
Murray State hiring Steve Prohm. Love this hire for the Racers. New league, and Prohm already had success with program and knows the lay of the land.
