Glasco needs to go. (NOT)

[cjr3888]

Some of you guys need to find a new hobby. Lotief is gone but some fans still can’t get this fact through their thick skulls. Glasco is here and doing a good job from what I’m seeing. The “Regional Glasco” name is because he understands where he’s at as a coach and is saying that he has higher expectations of himself and his team. Lotief supporters took this and ran with it saying he’s happy to just get to a regional. Those “fans” need to take this school girl clique attitude and shove it!

That’s a bold assumption JMV.

For a fact I can name 8 to 10 people on this page that are way more in tuned to this program than you are. That is a fact not an assumption.

Coaches can no longer talk to kids until there senior year, he basically had to pick up uncommitted kids that weren't heavily looked at.

Incorrect statement. Coaches cannot have any contact to discuss recruiting, either directly with a potential student athlete or through an intermediary (i.e. travel ball coach, high school coach, booster, etc.) until September of their Junior year. Potential recruits can attend camps being held on campus but again, if they attend before September of their Junior year, coaches cannot discuss anything recruitment wise with them while they are attending the camp. They can only discuss instructional information with recruits younger that their Junior year. I am familiar with this because my grand-daughter is going through this process right now. In regards to Glasco, I am undecided right now if he is the right person to lead this program. He has had experienced talent the past couple of years and not done anything with it. He now has young talent and they play up and down. Only one win against a top 20 program this year. A couple of bad losses to some bad teams. Let's see how they are doing in May.

We get it. You believe ML should have never been fired, and you want him back.

That ship has sailed. If you believe Glasco isn't the person who should be leading this program, then who is on your list of options?

No that is not what I'm saying every Coaches days at UL will come to an end I'm not saying lets fire Glasco I'm saying as a fan I'm not happy with where we are at with this top 25 program in five years. I'm a fan and I'm frustrated this is a message board where I should be able to vent my frustrations just like everyone including have vented our frustrations about other coaches at UL.

[Cajun Soldier]

I'm not your podna and ML screwed the pooch all by himself. And, based on what I understand he did, said and treated some of his players, UL is much better off with him gone.

Gerry can't win with some folks. First, he is criticized for bringing in too many transfers and then when he brings in a top class in softball he's being criticized for rebuilding a program. Are you ready to criticize Justin now too? How about Lacy?

I'm pretty sure I was treated pretty bad in my playing days not that it makes it right. Why should I have a problem with assistant coaches they don't drive the ship the ultimate responsibilities fall on the head man. But whenever someone disagrees with the great Glasco we must be Lotief supporters I guess if I have a problem with Des I'm a Baldwin or Hud supporter and I definitely have a problem with Marlin so I'm an Evans supporter is this how it works on this board. Please educate me.

ML situation is different than any other former/ex coach comparison. You should know that. Yes, fan forums are there to express opinions, but there will be rebuttals. That's what makes the world go round. Peace out.

I don’t know about the rest of you, but Glasco leaves little to be desired. He is more of a game manager than a coach…and not a good one at that. He plays not to lose in tight situations and ALOT of these girls are not developing like they should be. It’s infuriating to watch.

"leaves little to be desired" means you like him.

[JayWalker]

Is it just me, or is the timing curious on this thread, considering the team just went 3-1 on the road beating a ranked team and winning another series, this time against one of the favorites to win the league?

[ZoomZoom]

I think Turbine should start a thread "Bash coaches here..." Enforce it with 5 day ban, and it would probably make clean up easier for him.

So you're saying fans that donate their hard earned money can't have an opinion on an opinion board. Yea that makes a lot of since. The good ole boy mentality if you don't do or say what I want you should leave.

Ok. So here's a similar example for you. You are the manager of a grocery store. I go there a few times per month to buy a particular product. This month it isn't there and I keep going to check for it to be restocked. After 2 weeks, I ask you when it will be restocked. You tell me it's been ordered but you don't know when it will come in. I don't like that and feel that it's your responsibility to make sure an item I buy frequently is there when I want it. If you can't provide an item for which I am paying, you should be fired and someone else get the chance to satisfy me.

This is what CajunSun is recommending. The problem isn't the dissatisfaction with the product or service, it's the solution to the "problem."
