University of Houston pitching coach Frank Anderson is leaving to take the same position at Tennessee.

In five seasons at UH, Anderson led a pitching staff that was among the best in the nation, finishing first in ERA in 2014 and second in 2016. The Cougars led the American Athletic Conference in ERA for three straight seasons from 2014-16.

"I appreciate him continuing the tradition of great pitching at the University of Houston," UH coach Todd Whitting said. "He's a tireless worker with those guys and cares about the kids on the team. You can't say enough about the job he did at UH."

Whitting will conduct a national search for a replacement.

"The pitching job here is a very attractive position with the state of where the program is now," Whitting said. "There will be a ton of great candidates."

Before coming to UH, Anderson served as pitching coach at Texas Tech and Texas and was head coach at Oklahoma State from 2004-12.
