Then you quickly forget all the other years Javi was here previous to that one, right? If you don't think he's a problem for LSU then you don't watch much baseball. Seeing him at third base was all you needed to know there. He's partly responsible for getting these guys in here too so the recruiting the right players is at least partly on his shoulders. He's either not getting the right caliber of players here to develop or he's just not a good coach. I'm going with a combination of both. Players would not be seeking help outside the program if Javi was helping them and doing his job. Do you remember Grewe and what happened there when Matty Ice decided to get help with his pitching outside the program? CPM got all over his arse.
If he was such a good coach then he would have demand in college baseball. Do you see anyone knocking his door down for a promotion? It's a lose lose for Javi Sanchez regardless how you see it. I'm willing to bet a vast majority of fans who follow the program will tell you they're not a fan of him. And to be fair, it's not all on his shoulders it goes on CPM too. Someone has to be held accountable and it's not going to be be CPM.
I don't know about you but seeking help outside the program with your batting midway through a season seems like a problem to me. It means you don't trust the guy with you everyday working on it.

I think javis here more for the catchers than hitting.

No, I haven't. I had a post a couple months back listing our rankings in the SEC in hitting categories since he's been our coach. I'll see if I can dig it up. We've consistently been one of the best 3-5 best hitting teams in the SEC since 2008.

Maybe he likes being the hitting coach at the best baseball program in the country and working for a dear friend. Crazy, I know.

This means quite literally fricking nothing to me. We have a mind-numbingly stupid fan base. But... Cool?
Who are some great hitting coaches on staff at other schools (serious question)?
Who has been more consistent at the plate in SEC over the last 6 years than LSU?
Bottom line in all of this is we place too much value in the idea that a hitting coach can vastly change the fortunes of a team. A little tip here and there helps, but often it's self-motivation and drive to improve.

What's wrong with having another set of eyes? An outside influence isn't an inherently bad thing.

No, it doesn't. But that fits your narrative nicely. So, good on you.
