For only the fourth time in program history, the Louisiana Ragin Cajuns announced that the softball program has named a new head coach in Gerry Glasco, who was formally introduced on Monday.
Prior to taking the job here, he was an associate head coach and offensive guru for several SEC teams including Texas A&M and Georgia. Glasco’s hiring is pending approval by the University of Louisiana System Board of Supervisors.
“Gerry Glasco represents all the values we have for both our softball program and athletics department to include integrity, strong character, determination, and a championship vision,” Director of Athletics Dr. Bryan Maggard said in a statement released by the university. “He is a proven winner, a great recruiter and has a relentless work ethic. Coach Glasco develops positive relationships with his players, while mentoring young women well beyond the softball field.”
Glasco has led several programs to nine NCAA Tournament appearances, six Super Regionals, and three appearances to the Women’s College World Series.
“My family and I are excited to be a part of the Louisiana program,” Glasco said. “It’s one of the best programs in the country and is supported by the best fans in the nation. We will practice hard and compete hard in pursuit of a national championship.”
