Louisiana baseball coach Matt Deggs, softball coach Gerry Glasco earn contract extensions
LAFAYETTE – Louisiana baseball coach Matt Deggs and softball coach Gerry Glasco have agreed to one-year contract extensions with the school, The Daily Advertiser has learned.
Deggs and Glasco guided their respective teams to Sun Belt Conference championships in 2022, triggering a clause in their contracts that tacks on another year to their deals.
Deggs’ contract now runs through June 2026 while Glasco’s goes through June 2027. Both agreements, in which no other terms were changed, are expected to be approved by the University of Louisiana Board of Supervisors during their regularly scheduled meeting Thursday. UL golf coach Theo Sliman is scheduled for approval of a new, two-year deal.
Terms for all three contracts will go into effect upon approval. Deggs will continue to make $350,000 per year in base salary while Glasco remains at $170,000 annually

The Ragin’ Cajuns baseball team went on a tear at the end of the 2022 season, winning the Sun Belt Conference Tournament and securing an NCAA regional bid for the first time in six seasons, the first time under Deggs.
UL went 1-2 at the Texas A&M Regional, winning its first game against TCU before losing to A&M and TCU to be eliminated.
This is the fourth time Deggs has received an extension or has reconfigured his contract with UL. For his efforts in 2022, Deggs earned $22,500 in performance incentives.
The perennial favorites to win the league every season, the Louisiana softball team won the regular season and Sun Belt Conference tournament, going 47-13. UL faced No. 10 Clemson in the NCAA regional final at Clemson but lost, 8-0, to end its season.
