Darin Erstad has resigned from his Nebraska baseball coaching position, school announced Monday.

"I made the decision extremely difficult to move away from training," Erstad said in a press release. "I love this team. I like our staff and I love Nebraska. In the end, I do not want to miss seeing our children grow up. I want to thank our administration and academic staff for their support over the past eight years. GBR forever. "

Nebraska Sports Director Bill Moos said Erstad was the right person to lead the Husker program, but included his choice to spend more time with his family.

"Darin got the right to run this baseball program long into the future, and I hoped that would be the case," Moos said in a statement. "Darin loved having the opportunity to represent Nebraska every day and did a remarkable job. He is a Nebraska guy who loves this program and has a proven track record. That said, I respect and admire that Darin's priority is to spend more time with her family as her children grow up. "

From now on, Moos, in less than two years as a Nebraska trustee, will be recruiting new head coaches in Nebraska's three major sports: football, basketball and now baseball.

Erstad's announcement comes eight years and a day after his appointment to the position of head coach on June 2, 2011. His record at the NU was 267-193-1. The 2017 Huskers have won the Big Ten regular season title with Erstad named coach of the year.

Four of Erstad's eight teams finished second or better in the conference and his teams reached the Big Ten Championship match in 2013, 2014 and 2019. Nebraska qualified for the NCAA Regional Tournament in 2014, 2016, 2017 and 2019.

But the Huskers scored twice in their four regional appearances under Erstad (2-8), including a 1-2 mark this season.
