Alyson Habetz Named Louisiana Softball Head Coach

[RedBug58]

Didn’t we have a basketball player last year who went in the portal, but came back? So it’s not out of the question.

Fulks. He ended up quitting before the season was over so not sure if thats a good example

Lotief would be a good hitting coach

Best in the country.

I wouldn't be surprised if Shelly Landry is kept as the hitting coach. Shelly learned under ML and she definitely had an impact on Cecelia V. this past season. Not sure, but keeping her on the staff may have been a prerequisite for the new coach.

I hope not, you should never tie the hands of your new head coach when it comes to staff. I hope the best for Landry, and she is more than qualified for that position. But I would leave that decision up to Coach Habetz.

Coach Glasco just reposted the announcement of Coach Habetz on his FB page with the message:

“Some things are meant to be. This is one of those.”

The guy is a class act.

Respect to Glasco on that.

He's made a couple of more supportive posts about the hire. From what I was told previously, Habetz strongly recommended Glasco for the job during the last coaching change . She wasn't ready to leave Alabama at that time due to only needing a couple more years for state retirement benefits in Alabama

Hopefully it is a win win scenario for all involved

keeping Des on staff might have been the best thing that could have happened to Napier and I believe that was a mandate . . .

Not disagreeing here, but given she was named interim HC that may have been a consideration. And, yes, if Coach Habetz wanted to check other options she should be given that right, but would hope she would give Shelly a chance to interview as well.

I would be shocked if Dr. Maggard put restrictions of any type in his attempts to bring a new coach aboard.

Great hire. Kudos to maggard and all those that made this work.

Kudos also to whomever put up season tickets and NIL information right after. Strike while the iron is hot.

Holy moly. I get off a 3 hour flight and immediately feel great.

especially with some NIL

[CajunVic]

now one has to wonder if Alyson took the job because Glasco left or if Glasco left because Alyson was interested in the job

inquiring minds seek to know

Agree. That was perfect.

For all the crap we (myself included) gives our promotion/marketing folks, that was perfectly timed.

[MountainDew]

Couldn’t ask for a better hire. All smiles all around.
