Thread: Cajun Coach of the Year

  1. #1

    Ragin' Cajuns Cajun Coach of the Year

    Got to thinking last night about the year the Cajun athletic program just had, man it was special. I started thinking which coach would be the Coach of the Year at UL this year if such an award was given. They have all accomplished so much!

    Mark Hudspeth - Football
    Conference and N.O. Bowl Champions

    Bob Marlin - Mens Basketball
    Conference Champions and NCAA Tournament

    Mike Lotief - Softball
    Conference, Regional & Super Regional Champions and WCWS

    Tony Robichaux - Baseball
    Conference and Regional Champions

    Gary Broadhead - Womens Basketball
    Definitely on the way up

    Heather Mazeitis-Fontonet - Volleyball
    One of the best years to date

    And I believe tennis, golf and track had their best years in a while. Hope I'm not leaving anyone out. So, having said this, my vote goes to:

    Coach Rusty Whitt!!!

    Not a doubt in my mind he has something to do with all of the success in all sports. Injuries are down since he's been here. Our athletes are bigger, faster & stronger. Yes, the coaching staffs above have a lot to do with recruiting better athletes and all, but after reading a lot of posts about which coaches need to get paid more to stick around, this man should get his due. Also want to give a shout out to the athletes themselves. They have not only represented my university with pride and class on the field, but in the classroom also.

    To each and every UL athlete, I want to say THANK YOU!!

    OK, I'm done. Have fun with this thread

    GEAUX CAJUNS!!!
    Best Year in UL Athletics History!!

    They've all done great work... I'll go with Tony Robichaux, took a team to a unanimous #1 overall ranking in the country and to the final 16 of the college baseball tournament.

    My vote would be Coach Mike.

    Did more with less IMO.

    I'd say Coach Mike also, just b/c no one really expected what that team did before the season. The rest were not that far off from general consensus pre-season predictions. Not demeaning what any of the others did in anyway.

    I'd vote for all of the above as I believe this is the best group of coaches we've ever had. They each deal with various budget challenges; facility shortfalls; scheduling issues and, yet, produce at a high level given these challenges. Overall winners, however, are clear. Alumni, students, fans in general. Great time to be a Ragin Cajun. Hope we remember these times when we have to rebuild in some programs.

    I'd have to go with Coach Marlin

    edit: although it's a toss up between him and Coach Mike
