Coaching career

He was previously the Minnesota Twins' bench coach from 2002–2010 before swapping roles with Scott Ullger and becoming the Twins third base coach for 2011 and 2012. In October 2012, after two 96 plus losing seasons, it was announced Liddle's contract would not be renewed thus ending his stint in Minnesota.[1]

On November 2, 2017, Liddle was named the bench coach for the Detroit Tigers for the 2018 season, a role he previously had with Ron Gardenhire and the Twins.[2] After the 2019 season with the team, he retired and was succeeded by Lloyd McClendon.[3]
