Gunner Resigned

If Deggs fails to make a regional in 2026 do you think he will be on the hot seat?

Well next season is the last on his current contract so I feel if he doesn’t then he’s gone

But it isn't asking for big trouble to run off legends in your program after one bad season which was preceded by a good one? And again, if it didn't work out for Leger as pitching coach, why was this move made in late June and not after the conclusion of the season?

Deggs is the head coach. It’s his job to make decisions for the betterment of the program. Should he keep an assistant around who he’s not comfortable with because he was a great player? Again, if Gunner wasn’t a Cajuns legend, I think most people would be applauding a change.

Gunner made the change, not Deggs. That much is obvious.

LOL. Deggs DID NOT “run off” BJ Ryan. That’s a fact. Amazing how people make up their own BS.

BJ joined the staff for one season with the potential for maybe 2 or more. He did this to honor Robe. After 1 season with Deggs he had enough of Deggs and elected to not return. So yeah his attitude/coaching style ran BJ off. No he didn't get "fired" ran off as a volunteer coach. This isn't made up.

The disrespect and dislike on this board for a coach (that everybody wanted to be the HC here, many prior to Robe’s death) who took over a program that was in the crapper and has been in regionals 3 of the last 4 years is mind boggling.

To each his own I guess.

Sorry No! BJ Ryan wanted to return to his home in Shreveport area, Bossier City if I'm not mistaken. His wife wanted home and that is his main reason for leaving the program. He had offers to coach in the majors which he turned down.

I am a Matt Deggs guy, and I’ve said that time and time again. This isn’t personal. But a 27-31 record along with losing key players (Stelly), your pitching coach, and 2 recruits to your main conference baseball rival is a bad look. I understand the fans’ concern and frustration especially when you are trying to raise money for NIL, fundraise $6 million for a new clubhouse, and $2 million for a new scoreboard. This coaching staff needs to fix this and fast.

That same Robe family that wanted Deggs hired for this program, right? I like Gunner Leger, and I believe he did what is best for his career. It may be that Deggs doesn't turn this program back in the right direction, but Leger has the right to leave on his terms. I have no problem with that decision, but I do hate he ended up at Southern Miss.

Deggs attitude and coaching style made it 100% easier for him to return home quicker. When you have 55 million in the bank you don't have to tolerate much. Regardless he was open to more than one season.

These days it's a what have you done for me lately. That's the current flow in the industry. Coaches get hired to eventually get fired.
