Glasco leaving

[UL_Cajuns]

Stay Tuned.

So it was mutual, and Dr Maggard has his splash hire in the bag already?

Oh good freakin grief Are we a contender or not? Go look at Tigerdroppings after LSU gets eliminated in softball. Every post is either (A) replace the coach, or (B) buy more talent.

Teams that are in SERIOUS contention for a national championship are going to have fans with championship expectations. If our coach is ready to jump ship and chase dollars because some fans say mean things when we haven't been to the WCWS in ten years, then we're not serious contenders.

The first three pages of this thread are filled with people saying "why would he leave a team that has just as good a chance at winning a title as most P4 teams?". If we really are that good, then fans aren't going to be happy with annual moral victories and 'good season' platitudes

Glasco knows what some here don't want to admit. Texas Tech is in a much better position to buy a contending team than UL, and eventually the P4 will outspend us into irrelevance.

What this guy said. Might be the end of UL softball as we recognize it. ‘Stay tuned’

No clue who Maggard wants.

By going to Texas Tech, Glasco is going to have conference series with Arizona, Arizona State, Utah, Baylor, UCF and Oklahoma State, all of whom are traditionally better than anyone in the SBC not named Louisiana or Texas State. He can easily get OOC games with Louisiana and Texas State, and does not really need to schedule Texas or Oklahoma, though he probably will at least schedule Texas because of fan pressure. More importantly, with his recruiting acumen and the Matador Club's money, he can make Tech an immediate contender in the Big XII.

You apparently missed my point. I wasn’t talking about Glasco leaving because he was mistreated by the fan base. I was pointing out that the “loyal fan base” probably wasn’t something that would make him stay.

I understood he extended last year through 2028.

Sadly, I know some people are rejoicing right now. Sure some of y’all do too.

Maybe softball season ticket holders will see a slash in the price of season tickets from this situation?��

Well, if UL softball can't raise any NIL why would it discount tickets? Seems counterproductive right?

Agree VO and he will be able to build a program quicker with the NIL support they have promised him. Better schedule, Conference and more NIL money.

it is amazing that this is news to people who follow and post here

I wonder why Craig Snider couldn't build more of a winning program at Texas Tech with the conference affiliations and all of that NIL money available to him? Why is there this thought that Glasco is going to turn TT into an immediate contender?
