Alyson Habetz Named Louisiana Softball Head Coach

[RedBug58]

I bet she has some good connections with recruits!

[Cajun90]

25 Years as associate HC at Alabama. I believe she can handle the job here.

I believe you will be right but I would have said the same about any other coach coming in. My response was to someone saying it was an upgrade. Do you believe on day one that it is an upgrade? I'll say it again. I like the hire and dont' think we could have done better.

We could not ask for better!!!! With her experience and contacts Glasco may have done us a favor.

[Mark Hemphill]

She will energize the program immediately. She is a relentless recruiter and and has numerous contacts amongst the travel and collegiate coaching ranks. I expect the UL softball program to remain relevant as a national contender all during her tenure.

As many people on this website that constantly kick Maggard, once again he comes through with the right hire when it comes to spring sports. She is the right hire at the right time. I said that same thing when Deggs was hired. Fans wanted the Culture, now that have it! Some of these same folks need to be ready to support her financially because we are in a new era of college sports.

IF we can't make it work with Alyson I don't hold out much hope for the future of Cajun athletics. The landscape is drastically different today than a few years ago. It is going to be an up hill battle and that has nothing to do with who our coach is

that is the next component to the new era of college sports

Louisiana has never been in a position to compete in this component in the par when it was under the table

It’s legal now so let’s see what we can do

the sky is he limit

No brainer hire just like Deggs.

Yep. Checks all the boxes

a national title, 15 world series appearances and 12 sec championships. Yes, Id say its an upgrade on day 1.

The Bird is still 100%

[Grantvb]

It feels like the softball world is shrinking. What used to be a wide open sport is not so much.

[Cajunchuck]

Simply stated . . . THIS IS AWSOME!

[cajundiehard]

Great hire! Exciting! This will work out for the best in the long run.

[RaginP]

Home run hire! GEAUX CAJUNS!!

[Cajun90]

She has 100's of contacts out there, so it will be interesting to see who she brings to the team as assistants.

GEAUX Alyson.

Hitting coach will be the biggest hire in my opinion. That is not at the top of Alyson's wheelhouse and doesn't need to be but that hire more than any other would seem to be a top priority.

[CajunAmos]

I'm assuming a pitching coach might even be higher.
