I am pumped, because he is intense, can recruit, has contacts, has a basketball supporting family, truely wanted the job not to use as a stepping stone but to make something happen at Louisiana, where he has family. Did Garry Brodhead graduate from USL? I will be buying season tickets, I hope he is sucessful.

I think this is a great hire. Go get em Garry

I like this hire! Pumped up and believe that he will be able to turn this program around.

So, I wonder how much UL payed that company only for them to recommend that we hire the most obvious candidate out there?

It really don't matter how much they paid . This was the best hire in the end. He should have been hired the first time. Congrats Scott Farmer. You did the right thing!!!

Yes, Brodhead was a pole vaulter at the school from 1975-80, graduated from the school in 1980 and was a women's basketball graduate assistant coach for the Cajuns in the 1994-95 season. He posted a 297-78 record as Teurlings Catholic's head girls coach from 1997-2007, winning the 2002 state title with one state runner-up finish and four trips to the semifinals. Teurlings won nine district titles and advanced to the state's Sweet 16 six times under Brodhead, who was district coach of the year nine times, parish coach of year three times and area coach of the year twice.

Brodhead was an assistant at McNeese State from 2007-10 before being promoted to associate head coach prior to the 2010-11 season. Some of his responsibilities with the Cowgirls included coaching point guards, leading the team's defense, academic coordinator and strength training liaison, scheduling, recruiting (Louisiana and Texas), scouting and film editing and directing preseason and postseason workouts.

In addition to that, Brodhead led the Acadiana Stars to the AAU national tournament twice, finishing eighth in 1997 and fifth in 2006. His daughter Ashley is STM's head girls coach.
