CARBONDALE, Ill. — Southern Illinois University softball coach Kerri Blaylock announced today that she will step away from coaching duties for health reasons but will remain with the program. Long-time assistant coach Jen Sewell, who has served under Blaylock for 14 seasons, will take over as interim head coach.
"I appreciate Saluki Athletics, my coaching staff and my team for allowing me to take some time to work on my health and well being," Blaylock said. "I am supremely confident in Jen to step in for me. She has been my right hand for 14 years and has run the coaching side of the program for quite some time. Our staff as a whole with Jen, Kenzi (Bennett) and Maddy (Vermejan) will be able to continue the excellence of Saluki Softball in my absence."
Although she will not assist in a coaching capacity, Blaylock will continue to handle administrative duties for the program.
Wow. Hope she's OK. Great coach. Loved it when she got tossed from that NCAA game last year because the ump was a paid employee of ASU.
congrats on a great career at SIU!
we appreciate everything you have given to saluki softball.
be well.
WOW! Sad news. Hope its nothing serious and she makes a full recovery.
Good luck to Coach Sewell and the whole team.

Does anyone know if this is a permanent retirement/leave of absence or just until she can get her health in order? The press release didn't make it clear. The acting coach is labeled "interim." Hopefully she can join later in the season for a proper send off if this is indeed the end. Maybe she's waiting to see how the AD search goes before she decides if she's done for good? I'm hoping the health stuff isn't anything too serious so she can get the sendoff she deserves and a farewell tour at least.
So, quick question…what’s going on with this team? Was there an injury? They’re not playing as well as I thought they would

Blaylock resigning due to health problems is probably the main reason.
It needs to be said but the softball team has much better unis than the baseball team.

Yeah, I agree.
Bottom 2nd and UNI changed pitchers. Dawgs up 9 - 2 and still batting!
