Tony Robichaux (born September 10, 1961) is an American college baseball coach, currently serving as head coach of the Louisiana–Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns baseball team. He was named to that position prior to the 1995 season. He previously served as head coach at McNeese State.[1][2][3][4]

McNeese State

Robichaux played at McNeese State, and became interim head coach immediately after ending his playing career. He was made permanent after the 1987 season, and remained with the Cowboys until 1994. Only once in his time at McNeese State did the Cowboys finish below .500, and in his final season he led the team to their first 40 win season and first national ranking. Robichaux's pitching staffs placed among the nation's top six three times in five years, including 2nd in 1990. He is the all-time winningest coach at McNeese State, with 263 victories leading the Cowboys.[1]

Louisiana–Lafayette

After the 1994 season, Robichaux was hired as head coach for the Cajuns. In his nineteen seasons with the school, he has led his team to nine NCAA Regionals, three NCAA Super Regionals and the 2000 College World Series. In addition, the Louisiana–Lafayette Ragin Cajuns have claimed five Sun Belt Conference regular season titles and the 1998 Sun Belt Conference Baseball Tournament, 2014 Sun Belt Conference Baseball Tournament, and the 2015 Sun Belt Conference Baseball Tournament championships. He became the Ragin' Cajuns all-time leader in wins on March 17, 2003.[1]
