Matt Deggs, a former Arkansas assistant baseball coach, will be the next head coach at Louisiana-Lafayette, the school announced in a tweet Wednesday.
Deggs spent the past five seasons as head coach at Sam Houston State in Huntsville, Texas, where he compiled a record of 187-118 and took the Bearkats to two NCAA Tournaments.
In 2017, Deggs led the Bearkats to the super regional round of the tournament.
Deggs spent three seasons as an assistant coach under Tony Robichaux at Lafayette prior to taking the Sam Houston State job following the 2014 season. Robichaux, who was the Ragin' Cajuns' head coach for 25 seasons, died July 3 following a heart attack 10 days earlier.
