UL Athletics needs a house cleaning

[GMG]

I totally agree with you. In the last 30+ years, can you name the coaches that have succeeded at UL in the top 4 sports and was wooed away by another school? Napier, Glasco and Girouard; that's it!! Mediocrity has been UL's MO for over 50 years. If UL continues to feel sorry for themselves and decides to stay in mediocrity, the administration should never get upset when the fans aren't buying game tickets. They should look in the mirror and put the blame where it belongs!

A little perspective, that doesn’t even take the current landscape of college athletics into account…

Prior to a decade run in football under Hudspeth and Napier, the current football program would be as good as it ever has been, excepting a couple of outlier seasons.

Baseball has been status quo, outside of a couple of outlier seasons.

Softball has fallen, no doubt, but this was a great program prior to the SEC deciding to dump money into the sport. They held on for a stretch, but the days of greatness are over. Comparing now to then is apples to oranges.

Men’s basketball “cleaned house” less than a year ago. We will see how that works out, but it’s now basically a one bid league situation…different from the “good old days”.

Women’s basketball is a dumpster fire, but how many people want to spend money on it?

I don’t keep up enough with volleyball, tennis, golf, etc. to know the current state of these sports. I do know that we have a good track program under coach in Tommy Badon, so who is gonna replace him in a house cleaning?

I guess my main point in "cleaning house" is, what we are doing now, is not working. If the fans, the University, and Dr. Kolluru want success, then we need to change our strategy and that usually involves changing people that are locked in their ways. Dr. Maggard has 1 successful coaching hire since he became AD. We have a new President, we need new direction.

Looks like at least 2 of the 4 the final four teams seem ok without more money or fancy NIL players....short white guys the new moneyball perhaps?
