Baseball Staff Changes

What happened to Thibodeaux is he taking wells role and Gunner is taking his role being pitching coach

Seth was coaching the defense AND the pitchers.

And as a former HC himself, I’m sure he helps Coach Deggs with those head coach decisions as well. A lot was on his plate.

I’m pretty sure Gunner was a player coach while he played at UL. No official title but Robe likened him to that. Son of a lifetime coach. These people often make the best coaches.

Agreed. Dez was a player/captain in his playing days. Hence the sarcasm. I expect both former greats to be future Cajun greats as well.

. . . wishing Wells all of the best of luck in his future endeavors and thanking him for all he has done here . . . he was brought on by Robe because our hitting was anemic . . . once Deggs became HC, having Wells on staff would have been like Robe putting a pitching coach on staff . . . glad this move appears to have occurred organically and now it looks like we are more where we need to be coaching staff wise . . . let’s go . ..

Robe did have a pitching coach on his staff. Daniel Freeman he was volunteer assistant but was the pitching coach under Robe. He was my neighbor at the time this is how I know.

and . . . that is why he did not need another . . . Deggs had 2 hitting coaches on staff . . . that would have been like Robe having another pitching coach on his staff . . . that has been rectified with the replacement of a Wells with our new pitching coach . . .

A really good guy; he left because he got a coaching job somewhere, right?

I was wondering who would pop up and post this. I knew Freeman also, but that was a grad volunteer assistant . . . In fact I assisted with organizing a pitching clinic to assist him in making money . . .

Wells will be successful anywhere he goes. That dude can sell ice to an Eskimo. Hate to see him leave but supporting his family comes before baseball.
