If he goes it will be because he wants to be a head coach...AND because he will make substantially more.

Under the new agreement, effective Oct. 1, Robichaux's annual base salary will be bumped to $120,000 - an increase of $16,000 - to keep him as the highest-paid baseball coach in the Sun Belt Conference.
In his new deal, Robichaux will also receive a $10,000 bonus if the Cajuns win the regular season or conference tournament championship or make an NCAA tournament appearance. He would earn additional bonuses for reaching an NCAA Super Regional ($15,000) and the College World Series ($20,000) and by winning the national championship ($25,000). The amount of that compensation would be paid for the highest achievement in any year.
Robichaux will also get a $2,000 bonus if the baseball team compiles a 3.0 grade-point average. The same amount will be paid if the team has a graduation rate of at least 60 percent. The team must also have an average of at least 925 on the NCAA's Academic Performance Rate (APR) for both of those bonuses to be paid.
He will receive bonuses for being the Sun Belt and/or Louisiana Coach of the Year ($3,000), South Regional Coach of the Year ($4,000) and National Coach of the Year ($5,000) and if UL's average paid home attendance is at least 2,500 ($2,500).
I was under the impression that he also gets to keep all of the money he generates from his camps and can utilize that money as he sees fit (sharing with Asst. Coaches, etc.) or keep it for himself. If that is true, he actually makes more than what his salary is. Of course he has to put in the extra work involved with the camps.
New post saying Deggs will be announced this afternoon. Not sure who actually knows anything, everybody seems to have sources (sounds familiar). Now I'm nervous again
It would be a tough pill to swallow but like someone posted in another post, it is better to have successful coaches move on then have unsuccessful coaches stay.
Geaux Deggs!! Now we reload...
If true, no crying in baseball.
