His overall record includes a 265-146 record in the Southland Conference and a 95-85 record in the Sun Belt Conference.[1] Harrington was honored as the Southland Conference Coach of the Year in 2009 and 2011. Texas State won three consecutive regular season SLC championships in 2009, 2010 and 2011 under Harrington. His teams also won the SLC tournament championship in 2000 and 2011 and made three NCAA Championship Regional appearances in 2000, 2009 and 2011. Harrington guided Texas State to its first Sun Belt Conference regular season championship in 2019.[2] He has helped produce 88 all-conference selections,[3] 10 All-Americans, seven conference players of the year and 53 Major League Baseball Draftees.[4] [5] On June 20, 2019, Harrington retired after 20 seasons at Texas State.[6]
