He would not have that ring if not for two of the best college baseball players ever. So not sure he is that great

Florida has lost 6 straight SEC series. They are nearly a .500 team overall. They probably have more talent than we do.

It happens. DVH had an atrocious season a few years back.

I just don't get you people discrediting what Jay did in his first two seasons here. In fact the first season was more impressive to me than last year considering he had no ace pitcher.

There are multiple teams with a couple of elite players that don't win it all. I don't get discrediting a coach, because he had great players. Also, they turned Skenes into a monster. He was great Air Force, but he became elite at LSU. You don't stop developing after a transfer.

Jay has won everywhere he's been. That's no mistake.

This could be said about so many national championship.
“It's not the X's and the O's, but the Jimmys and the Joes that make the difference.”
But it takes a coach to get all of it moving in the right direction.

Skenes and Crews were baseball Burrow and Chase. Wes Johnson was Brady and Aranda.

Isn’t that part of coaching?

Would any championship winning coach have won without great players???

There have been several coaches with great players who couldn’t win championships

Should we take away all the rings Bergman won with Walker and Furniss?
