I'm a big fan of Dr. Maggard. He's a player's
coachadministrator. I think that plays a big factor in retaining players, but that factor has been greatly diminished by transfer portal/NIL. I think he's done a terrific job building out the athletics department, navigating COVID era, getting us out of Ticketmaster contract and to Paciolan, getting players out in the community, and Cajun Field west side renovation. He exudes a high level of professionalism which elevates our programs above true peers and will be an asset for us on the D1 Oversight Committee.
I think moving forward, he will be judged on:
1. Navigating our programs forward through the NIL era
2. Continued facility enhancements (baseball clubhouse, etc.)
3. Handling of MBB (program with fan-participation in the gutter)
4. Getting butts to and in the seats
5. Keeping ear to the ground on any conference movement (whispers of a best of the rest pipe dream conf)
