Justin Robichaux Leaving Louisiana to coach High School

[RaginScotsman]

Good hire for the Coogs.

Can't wait to see what Glasco brings in next. I'm sure he had a notion this was a possibility and was scouting.

Rumors bro.

Not rumors.

Rumors bro.

Conspiracy theories are only theories until they are proven right. I'm surprised anyone wanted this job.

[Datt Meggs]

I think Glasco's daughter Tara would be a great hire. I have no idea if she would be interested.

Wouldn’t that be considered nepotism?

[Reality Check]

Considering what they did to Hargis, surprised Jut would even entertain the idea of going there.

Hargis didn't endear himself to the parents and big money baseball donors at STM.

Jut must really want out of UL if he wants to go deal with that mess

[CajunVic]

Or maybe he wants to be home with his 2 young children every night instead of gone half the spring. He probably knows a little about what its like to have a father traveling all the time away from home.

this and he has been working privately with STM baseball players for years so don’t think he is not intimately familiar with what he is getting into

football and basketball staffs have been in tack since almost the beginning of the school

baseball has always been very suspect when Perkins was there

not familiar with any of the coaches since Perkins but obviously it didn’t work out

this may be the start of very competent coaching staff in baseball like they have in basketball and football

What would you say makes that school so successful in athletics? Coaching? Money? Or both?

Coaching is always #1. Football and basketball aren't necessarily putting out a ton of D1 talent. They play extremely well as teams and buy into successful, proven systems.

Teamwork and discipline make a huge difference no matter the circumstances

[Cajunrunner]

Kim Broussard is also a very good athletic director and represents the program extremely well.

coaching, coaching, coaching

remember years ago the Knights wanted to build an indoor practice and weight facility

the administration wanted a library so they got nothing

its definitely not money at the high school level

which is why there was little success winning state in baseball

the AD, head basketball coach and head football coaches have been there for ages and are all older and at the end of their careers

this may also be something that was looked at by JR (or maybe promised to him) in making his decision

[CajunAmos]

Who should we go after?

Someone who can attract high level pitchers

Agreed
