Longtime head coach of the Louisiana Ragin Cajuns Michael Lotief has been fired, effective immediately according to a statement released by the University of Louisiana.
The release by the university mentions that Lotief violated policies by subjecting student-athletes and coworkers to violent, vulgar language and verbal and physical assault.
“Behavior of this nature will not be tolerated,” University President Dr. Joseph Savoie said. “I want to commend the students for coming forward. They exemplified great courage in sharing their stories.”
A national search for a new head coach will begin immediately according to Dr. Bryan Maggard.
