Matt Deggs as Head Coach

[Cajunrunner]

AND Coach Deggs has been on record recently saying that he will not ever coach anywhere else but here, because of what UL and Coach Robe did for him. While some may say that is a negative, and want a young guy to come in and if he gets hired away that it’s a good thing…and it’s a valid point, but as we’ve seen with Napier, that success can go away quickly when he leaves.

I think in sports like football and men’s basketball, programs like ours should seek the young, up and coming guy who wants to kill it here and be hired away to the SEC or Big 10. Not someone who just wants to be “comfortable”.

In baseball, though, like softball, those are programs where we have an established culture that has worked and been proven over time. Kind of like our track program under Coach Lancon from 1990 to 2002.

The Des talk is for a different thread

there will always be teams shopping us in every sport. We just need to hold our heads up and learn to compete with what we are left and enjoy it.
