Ragin Cajuns Softball

[OrlandeauxCajun]

A little house keeping first. About 6 others on this site are in the same circle as me in regards to UL softball.

1. Coach Glasco in my opinion has done a good job, but I can tell you his team's still haven't reached his expectations. His expectation is a National Championship. His first 5 years he was playing catch up and was behind the 8 ball. Kids used to commit in the 8th grade so for 5 years he had to go the transfer route. He can now start to build his team.

2. This class could be the building foundation towards a National Championship. Fans need to be a little patient as this team is young and more young players are on the way. The freshman are getting seasoned and there will be rough patches along the way, but that is the price you have to pay for future success. Gerry is one of my favorite coaches. I am not worried at all about this program. Keep in mind 5 of the freshman are batting 400 or better and one other over 300 and one right under 300. These kids will keep getting better.

3. If the pitching gets consistent and the cards fall right we can win a regional this year.

Outstanding perspective. Thanks for taking the time!

The softball staff has 2 out of 3 of my favorite Louisiana coaches. Hoping Glasco and Robichaux have nothing but success going forward.

Very good perspective here.

To be fair EVERY coach should have the expectation of winning a national championship, or the Cajuns shouldn't hire them.

What is the VERY HARD part is having the right plan to do that, and then executing on that plan. The folks that continue to make the very big money are the folks that can and do execute consistently and at a high level.

I really do like Glasco and his plan, but can he execute on that plan is still a very open question. If the 2020 season had run its course, I think that could've answered a lot of questions for sure.

I agree with some of your points except the second sentence, it’s just plain stupid. Exhibit one, football will NEVER win a nattie, not ever until the system that has been in place for decades suddenly changes and every team who competes has a chance to win. Our coaches may want to win a nattie but come on man.

In football, we should aspire to a New Year's 6 Bowl every year. Every other sport should be aspiring to Natties.
Of course, these goals are not attainable every year, but that should be our goal every single year, and our coaches should be expected to plan, recruit and coach accordingly.

I agree with Vobserver.

I know it's apples to raisins, but when DeLoss Dodds was AD at Texas, his public position was that if we [Texas] sponsor a sport, we will compete for national championships in that sport. [Of course the second sentence of his statement was: We will give them the resources to do so.]

Nonetheless, Every good AD [and every good President] should have similar aspirations.

I understand your point but why shouldn't a coach have the expectations of winning a NC. My expectation is to one day see UL win the NC will it happen probably not in any of our life time but we can dream.

[RaginCajun309]

A NC in football is absolutely not possible, and likely will never be possible as things stand and in the direction the future of the CFB playoff is headed. The big boys will not give up a slice of the money pie.

Winning a conference championship in every sport is my goal.
