Sounds like excuses but we'll wait and see. The team certainly hasn't started the season in great fashion against the three decent teams it has faced.

I’m not sure what more you could want from them at this point. I mean it sounds like you just have unreasonable and unrealistic expectations and ideas of what is considered “successful”… baseball is way different than football and even basketball. It’s a game where you can see crazy things and never can really predict what a team’s true capabilities are, especially using such a small sample size. The 2019 Fall Classic champs, Nationals, started the year 31 - 50.
The reason baseball is played in a series type of format is for these exact reasons, bc determining who is the better team can’t be accurately decided off of only one head to head matchup.

Anyone that wants to try and use the “but then why does the MLB have the one game wild card” argument, is an example of average fan who doesn’t follow baseball to hard. Bud Selig implemented the one game WC for a couple reasons. To place more importance on the regular season grind, and bc the excitement and “thrill” of a do or die game generates better viewer ratings and more fans. All equaling more money being made, while also possibly growing the game of baseball. The MLB cares more about those reasons way more than it cares about who is truly the better team.

If anyone on this board thinks that SW was brought here
for anything else but to clean house in the athletic dept.
doesn`t know anything about LSU and politics. The LSU
athletic dept. was a shitshow B4 he got here,he was brought
in and approved by the BOS in a very short period of time.
That fact may not mean anything to you,but to someone who
has followed LSU sports for 55yrs ,believe me its unprecidented.Thde fact they also got rid of FKing and JA
in short order should tell you something. The main MONEY
people aka boosters saw what was going on here and swooped
in and forced changes.They knew about O and Wade about
to destroy the LSU sports programs by blatenly cheating
out in the open.And now the chickens are coming home to roost.SW has mitagated the damage by his actions.Thank GOD.You so-called fans who get caught emotionaly into this
need to see the big picture,not your small myopic view.

No, that's not being ignorant. Buzz inherited a program that had made 2 Sweet 16s in three years right before he was hired and was about to miss the tournament for the fourth year in a row until this past week. Not saying he's a terrible coach, but Wade was doing much better and beat him 10 times head to head without a loss.

The athletic department was a total clown show when Scott was hired. It's too early to make any type of assessment of Scott one way or the other. Maybe three years from now, we can begin to have a discussion about the quality of his work, but a lot of what he is doing currently is damage control from the previous administration, and bringing stability to the athletic department.

The knee jerk criticism is absolutely unwarranted and unfair. All these people are openly displaying their ignorance and short-sightedness.

He isn’t doing a good job cleaning since verge is still around.

The Scott fan boys think he does no wrong

Verge was suspended 30 days and his name was allover the report it’s been a year and the only reason he stayed was his kids and he failed on that

Was he or was he not suspended? So he did enough to get suspended and he was all over the report and in theory a much worse crime than paying players. It’s a bad look for Scotty

JJ hasn’t done anything yet, so u baseball couch coaches slow your roll, he’s got at the very least 5? Major leaguers and has gone from #3 to #14 in a month. I love the hire but don’t fool yourselves, he don’t have the notches of Mulky even Kelly yet.

---

No offense but this is a pretty dumb take, and you try to smartass call out “couch coaches” but don’t even understand how rankings don’t mean anything this early in the season, simply bc of such a small sample size. And lol at saying the “5 major leaguer’s” thing; like are “major leaguer’s” perfect or something? They don’t have occasional bad games themselves? We’ve lost 3 games. 1 to the #1 team in the nation, 1 to another top 25 regional host team in extremely shite conditions on a turf field ((something baseball should never be played on imo, especially when it’s soaking wet)), and the 3rd loss to Baylor was their worst loss so far, but like I said no one is ever 100% perfect and every team has the occasional bad game.

If you don’t understand baseball and want to call all that “excuses” then that’s fine and it’s your opinion; but don’t sit there and try to say CJJ hasn’t done anything. Look at who he brought from Ariz., what he did at Ariz., and look at some of our future prospects. CJJ has this team heading in the right direction.
