The athletic department at UL has truly done nothing right since hiring Napier. They keep a basketball coach that is worthless and he's been here for 12 plus years, the baseball program was left in shambles before Deggs took over but it hasn't gotten any better and the softball team is proving that they can't beat a ranked team. It should tell everybody something about the guy that's in charge of the athletic department when his old University that he was with for 20 years didn't even give him the time of day. Mark my words everyone, our athletic department may have a decent budget to work with but they do not have decent coaches.
Take a look at the athletic programs since Maggard has been the athletic director; softball wins their conference but they won't host a regional or host a super regional and they can't beat LSU. And now in the current stage the softball team can't beat a ranked team.
The basketball team is worse; players are leaving the program left and right; the baseball team is just as bad as it's been for the last several years and will soon find out about the football program. But it just doesn't look like we're going to have a very bright future in any of our sports.
While the other universities across this country hold people accountable for the number of wins and the attendance that they have at their games and within their program we don't hold anyone accountable and unfortunately it doesn't look like Maggard and his athletic department is going to be held accountable.
There is absolutely zero fun going to watch any of the sporting events that UL has and we're back to the old days
like it was under Authement. If this University and this athletic department want to be big time and I keep hearing day in and day out then they need to start acting, winning, and holding coaches accountable. They're not ready for the big time in any way shape or form!
What a joke our athletic department has become. You can't put all of the financial eggs in the football basket like Maggard has done and expect basketball, baseball and softball along with the other sports to excel.
