Former Auburn softball coach Clint Myers attended the team's opening game of the 2018 season.

Myers, along with his son and former volunteer assistant coach Casey Myers, sat in the stands six rows behind home plate.

Numerous fans and a few former players came up to Clint Myers, who declined comment to AL.com, and embraced their former coach.

Clint and Casey Myers left Jane B. Moore Field following No. 13 Auburn's 4-0 win over Marshall in the first game of a season-opening doubleheader.

New coach Mickey Dean's reaction to his predecessor being in attendance was "great; the more fans the merrier."

Auburn athletics declined comment.

Clint Myers "retired" from Auburn on Aug. 23 but days later ESPN and AL.com reported a Title IX complaint was filed by a member of the team against him and former assistant coach Corey Myers, his other son, alleging mistreatment and harassment.

Corey Myers, who resigned last March citing family reasons, is banned from Auburn's campus after the university's Title IX office found evidence he engaged in inappropriate relationships with "more than one" athlete, according to ESPN.

Former Auburn athletic director Jay Jacobs came under scrutiny for denying knowledge of any Title IX investigation into Corey Myers to AL.com in April of last year. Jacobs resigned in November and left the department on Jan. 31 with new athletic director Allen Greene beginning his tenure on Feb. 1.
