Taylor Furlough will begin his first season as Head Baseball Coach for the Hawks. He has been an assistant coach for the past four seasons. In Furlough's first season as assistant coach (2008), he helped the Hawks to the most successful season in program history after posting a 36-20 record. That season, Chowan garnered a NCCAA South Region Championship and finished in fourth place at the NCCAA National Championship Tournament. In 2011, Furlough helped Chowan gain their sixth winning season in the last seven years. Furlough worked with the Hawks pitching staff and helped produce All-CIAA performers Brett Garrett, Ryan Moore, and John DesChamps in 2011.
Furlough is no stranger to the Chowan baseball program after playing four seasons under previous Head Coach Aaron Carroll. As part of the pitching staff in 2005, he helped the Hawks to an appearance at the NCCAA World Series. That same season, Furlough posted a team-low 1.20 ERA with a 4-1 record and five saves. Furlough spent two seasons on the Chowan football staff as an offensive backs and wide receivers coach prior to being hired by Carroll in January of 2008.
Furlough is a native of Columbia, North Carolina and was a standout football and baseball player at Columbia High School. Furlough received his B.A. in Math from Chowan in 2005. He is married to Stephanie Myane Furlough, a 2008 Chowan graduate. They reside in Murfreesboro.
