Jim McLaughlin the coach who is responsible for turning the University of Washington volleyball into a national powerhouse will be leaving to coach Notre Dame.
McLaughlin in a statement said, “This was the most difficult decision I have ever had to make in my coaching career. My wife, Margaret, is from the Midwest and all of her family is still there. She has followed me across the country and we both decided that it was time to pursue opportunities in that part of the country.”
McLaughlin 54, will be replacing Debbie Brown. McLaughlin was a former assistant of Debbie Brown at Notre Dame.
He was given the Pac-12 Coach of the Year award four times, and National Coach of the Year in 2004. He was the first coach to win NCAA titles coaching both men (USC) and women. He help established a 355-90 (. 798) record at Washington as the Huskies consistently led the Pac-12 in attendance.
