Jay Bergman (born February 6, 1939) is an American former college baseball coach. During his coaching career he served as the head coach of Seminole Community College, University of Florida and the University of Central Florida. Jay Bergman Field on the campus of the University of Central Florida was named for him.
Bergman was forced out at UCF with 10 games left in the 2008 season after being accused of harassing an equipment manager.[1] Terry Rooney, the pitching coach at LSU, was hired to replace him.
Bergman finished his thirty-six season career as a head coach with an overall record of 1,183 wins, 688 losses, and 3 ties, and a winning percentage of .632. In the early 2000s, he won three A-Sun Coach of the Year awards.
