Former LSU baseball coach Smoke Laval will replace North Florida coach Dusty Rhodes when Rhodes retires after the 2010 season, according to a story in the Florida Times-Union of Jacksonville, Fla.


Rhodes has been the only coach at North Florida, holding that post for 21 years at the Jacksonville university. The story said Rhodes will announce his retirement at a news conference today.


The school will compete in Division I beginning this school year.


Laval replaced LSU legend Skip Bertman in 2002 and coached the Tigers until 2006. He took LSU to the College World Series in both 2003 and ’04, with the Tigers going 0-2 both times

Its a good hire for a school like North Florida. Smoke can recruit and the championship rings will go a long way with the kids. Good luck to him.

I don't wish the best for him since he tried torching the bridge on his way out. I hope his fatass doesn't win a game
