Women's Lacrosse Regy Thorpe named next WLAX Coach

I'm fine with this hire. He showed that he can coach good defense at Florida and learned offense from his time with Gait. Apparently, he is a very good recruiter. His first challenge is to make sure the roster stays put and perhaps adds some transfers.

I posted in one of the other threads but I spoke with a family member of a current player recently (quite randomly). The whole team loves Regy. They think he will be a great coach and they were hoping not to lose him. They think he’s been a big part of the programs success there. Not to mention he knows what it takes to win here too.

The Kayla rumors were very well known by every other team and in lax circles, and heavily used against us on the recruiting front. We have a young team and I hope he adds a few portal pieces with veteran leadership.

I mean whyyyy call it your dream job? Marrone forever tainted that phrase!

I don't want to make this another "dream job" Marrone thread, but he did a good job, righted the ship and made us relevant, competitive and respected. Who can blame him for going to the ultimate in the sport, the NFL. What happened after he left was not his fault, it was Doc Hollywood for hiring the incompetent Shafer.

Treanor's poor judgment harmed and was detrimental to the program on the recruiting front. She's lucky she got to coach last year and was not fired. Hopefully, with the portal Regy can make a quick turnaround.

So my next question is who runs our offense
Does he keep the present staff?
He’s worked with Koch before and Caitlin runs the d and if I remember correctly, we still have an open spot on our coaching staff

Just wondering

He worked with both Maggie and Caitlin under Gary Regy has also coached on the offensive side. It will be interesting to see how they approach this going forward. I think bringing in a young female coach close to the players age could be very valuable someone like an Emily Hawryschuk would be ideal no clue if she would have any interest

How about Taylor Gait??
Just wondering
 
Also, now that Treanor has gone to Penn St, crossing my fingers that Thorpe can somehow convince Gebhardt to get back on board because I loved him as an assistant.

If what was said on here is true that Thorpe has the $$$ and backing, we need more than 3 coaches if we want to compete with UNC, NW, BC, period. So hopefully that gets worked out.
 
Patience, there is much going on behind the scenes. Coach Thorpe has to meet with the current team to make sure they are all onboard with his plans. Establish his assistants. See who is still available, in the portal that could add value to the team. Look at uncommitted first years he is interested in. Meet with support nstaff.
Soon enough, we will see new add on players and assistant coaching announcements.
 
Where did he go to high school? I can’t remember. If he’s from somewhere around Syracuse.

According to Wikipedia, he was born in Auburn but I know he didn’t go to AHS.
