Glasco leaving

[CajunAmos]

Unless it's the portal, you're recruiting sophomores right now so you won't see them for three years. My understanding was he wanted to retire and return to Illinois in three years.

Maggard went outside the Cajun family and hired GG, which turned out to be a good hire. I'm sure he will repeat with the same success.

I would hope the contract for this program be written where things continue without missing a beat or else. It's UL's unicorn program; one of a long history and no room for failure.

Yvette?

Yvette?

Can't...would have to tell her where the plaque is.

Don't know how much truth there is in this post about Glasco's departure which was made on another softball specific website: "My understanding was that he was told that a collective was being formed by UL boosters for NIL money to compete with recruits and transfers. He had said out loud on various occasions that he would need about $500K in NIL funds to keep UL competitive with the big boys. Apparently that never materialized so Glasco took the bird in the hand offer from Texas Tech which has an established collective (Matador Club) to provide softball with NIL money. In addition to getting a raise to go to TT, he was also promised facility upgrades. The man is 65 years old so in reality, he doesn't have all that many years of coaching left in him."

The NIL reason makes sense.

The facility argument holds no water, just look where he is going.

He didn't get a raise to go to Texas Tech.

how many times has it been told that asking coaches to shop in the portal without NIL $$$$$ is a fantasy request

well we just found out the hard way

[CajunT]

Yvette?

Yvette was used as a consult last time and I'm pretty sure she helps Maggard in any many he requests again.

[CajunT]

He didn't get a raise to go to Texas Tech.

But he has been given the promise of NIL support to help build the program. That comes from the paper in Lubbock.

What excuses are being made? I haven't seen any being made on here. Why are you ragging on UL fans, many who supported your brother when he got fired? This particular situation is totally different than that for which your brother was terminated.

The excuses why Coach Glasco left. No support. Fans didn’t like him,no NIL money , etc . Had a good coach, administration decided she wasn’t worth the extra money,she went to LSU. Had another pretty good coach, but he got fired , had another coach, he is leaving for a job at Texas Tech.

That's not a raise.

The NIL funds conversations are the truth. I was present with several supporters when Maggard explained that their focus is the Football Stadium and funding the differences in construction cost, as well as funding the East side renovations. This was told to others involved in raising money for the new Club House for Baseball as well.

If softball supporters want to anti-up and contribute to the NIL Co-Op they can do so for the new coach. But that hasn't really happened much.

That's not a raise.

raises can come in many forms and fashions some of which most here are either not privy to the information or even if they had it, are incapable of making a determination of what it is worth

[jaxmc1023]

That's not a raise.

No state income tax

Plus now he can cruise for chick's without having to worry about running into one of his wife's old friends

[CajunT]

That's not a raise.

Didn't I just say he has been promised NIL support. I said nothing about a raise. How much NIL money has been raised for Softball here?
