Missouri baseball head coach Kerrick Jackson turned to a familiar figure for the first selection to his 2024 coaching staff, officially tabbing former Tiger head coach Tim Jamieson as the program’s pitching coach. 2026 will mark Jamieson's first season in a new roll, serving as Director of Program Development after the addition of new pitching coach, Drew Dickinson.
Jamieson, who spent 22 seasons as Mizzou's head coach, will mark his 31st overall season on the MU coaching staff in 2026.
In 22 seasons as Mizzou's head baseball coach, Jamieson led the Tigers to 698 wins, trailing only Gene McArtor (733) on the Tigers’ all-time coaching victories chart. He coached eight All-Americans and 10 Freshman All-Americans and saw 75 of his Mizzou players drafted, including four first-rounders.
Jamieson, who was selected for induction into the Missouri Intercollegiate Athletics Hall of Fame in May 2023, returns to Columbia after serving as pitching coach under Jackson in his lone season at Memphis, where the duo helped lead the Tigers to their first winning season since 2017. Prior to his stop at UM, Jamieson spent three seasons (2020-22) as pitching coach at Southern Illinois, helping the Salukis compile a 96-42 record that included a pair of 40-win seasons. During that span, Jamieson's pitching staff led the Missouri Valley Conference in earned run average in 2022, after posting the second-best team ERA in the circuit in 2021.
As head coach of Missouri from 1995-2016, Jamieson’s teams topped the 30-win plateau on 15 occasions and captured nine NCAA Regional berths, including seven-straight appearances from 2003-09. He was a two-time conference coach of the year and piloted Mizzou to its last two conference crowns — the 1996 Big 8 regular-season championship and the 2012 Big 12 Tournament title.
A highly-respected developer of talent, Jamieson has helped mentor Major League Baseball All-Stars Max Scherzer, Ian Kinsler, Aaron Crow and Kyle Gibson. Additionally, he has seen a total of 22 of his former pupils play in the big leagues. In addition to Scherzer (Toronto), two more of his former Tiger standouts — Tanner Houck (Boston) and Pete Fairbanks (Miami) — currently hold spots on Major League 40-man rosters. Fellow MU products Kyle Gibson, Josh Lester, Michael Plassmeyer, Bryce Montes De Oca, Rob Zastryzny and Kameron Misner made big league appearances in recent years as well. In all, Jamieson’s big league protégés have totaled 14 MLB All-Star nods, three Cy Young Awards and two Gold Glove Awards.
In addition to producing MLB players, Jamieson coached a pair of MLB managers (Jayce Tingler, Tony Vitello) during his Mizzou head-coaching tenure. Tingler had a stint as manager of the San Diego Padres from 2020-21 while Vitello was named manager of the San Francisco Giants during the 2025 offseason, hiring Tingler as his bench coach along with another former Tiger, Hunter Mense, as his hitting coach.
After completing his own standout playing career at the University of New Orleans, Jamieson spent six seasons (1983-88) on the UNO coaching staff, helping the Privateers to an appearance in the 1984 College World Series. He then returned to Columbia, where he was an assistant coach under McArtor for six years before being elevated to head coach in 1995.
Jamieson garnered 1996 Big 8 Coach of the Year and 2007 Big 12 Co-Coach of the Year honors, as his Missouri teams won 35 games or more nine times during his head coaching career. He was also selected to lead USA Baseball’s Collegiate National Team as head coach in 2011.
A Columbia native, Jamieson grew up around the University of Missouri, as his father, Dick Jamieson, served as a Mizzou Football assistant coach on Al Onofrio’s staff from 1972-78.
Jamieson received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in business administration from New Orleans. A graduate of Columbia Rock Bridge High School, Jamieson is married to a Mizzou graduate, the former Cindy Thornton. They are the parents of two sons, Mickey and Ty.
