After Tony Robichaux ended his 25th year as head coach of the Ragin’ Cajuns baseball team -and did so with a losing record, the program’s first since 2012- Bryan Maggard was asked if he fully expected Robichaux to be back next season.
The UL athletic director used just one word for his answer, and he said it twice

Exactly. Most mid major coaches can cruise along for years around .500 and nobody bats an eye lid.Quote:

Dreaded vote of confidence article posted one day after the last game. More than a few arched eye brows around the baseball team today, I am sure. They all know what that means.

If Robe isn't on the hot seat, at least to some degree, Maggard ain't doing his job.Quote:

Maybe basketball will be next.Quote:

Robe has of late thrown some stones at fans who express dissatisfaction with the team. Clearly he thinks they’re a big part of the programs failures.
Remember the last coach who lost a ton of season ticket holders he help bring in and then blamed the fanbase for his shortcomings...Quote:

“I don’t want fans that are ok with where we are or just an ok year.”
“We’re not gonna be disrespectful to our fans and I don’t take it as disrespect from them. I’d rather be somewhere where somebody wants to live up to a standard than settle for a low standard.”
Needed to be said and that’s the attitude you have to have. Thanks Robe.
Some (I think wrongly) took offense to statements he made last season and this season about fans.Quote:

An in game comment or heat of the between game moment should not be taken as seriously as a comment that reflects contemplation.
I put 1000 times more value on Robi's current comment than anything he said in-season between games.
Clearly him throwing stones at the fans and making excusesQuote:
