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.
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.
I understood he extended last year through 2028.
Maybe softball season ticket holders will see a slash in the price of season tickets from this situation?
