Glasco also coached the Texas Scrap Yard Dawgs to the National Pro Fastpitch championship this past summer. On that team: Brianna Cherry, Nerissa Myers, and Christi Orgeron. He already has at least three recent alumni he can call upon to help win over players and fans after he's introduced.

That's YUGE!

Well, Maggard has done his job..

I think this is a great hire! If the existing team won't play for him then move on!

He may have contacts in prime recruiting areas, but Lotief seldom went after the big name players that other major colleges wanted. He went after the players that fit his style of play and that had the capability and want to learn his system. UL is not a destination school for the big name studdettes.

Now don't get me wrong, UL has produced all-american players, but they weren't the highly recruited players coming out of high school. So will our new head coach go after the big time studdettes or will he go after the same high quality players coach Lotief went after, the ones that had will and determination to succeed but not the physical traits to get highly recruited.

Here's wishing him the best.

All that and only 1 win in Oklahoma City. If he goes after big time recruits and lands them and leads us to better performances in Oklahoma City, then the right call was made with Glasco.

On paper, I'm very impressed. Maggard obviously 1) did his homework, 2) networked with individuals associated with the program but were not caught up in the drama, and 3) purged the swamp to borrow a phrase for a clean start and 4) didn't "Bubba" it.

Transferring definitely won't get them on a team coached by Lotief, might not get some academic credits transferred and will likely result in a year off the field. Sounds like a lose, lose situation.

What are they gunna do the first time their boss gets fired at a real job, quit and move out of town?

i think this hire will be as good as we could have done to retain the team besides habetz.
