You truly flock to a swimming roast like flies to shite.
Do you think LSU gymnastics would have signed two olympians without the practice facility it's building?
Do you think LSU baseball would maintain its consistency with its peers without the new Alex Box?
I could go on and on, but the short answer is "no". simply put, LSU gets what it pays for. I'm not saying the coaches are elite, but I don't think it is fair to measure their performance to competitors with far more resources and tradition. Tony Minnis is an exception because the guy was at LSU for I think 16 seasons?
One thing is for sure: Joe Alleva doesn't put up with shitty coaches. He's fired plenty of coaches and let some gracefully "retire". If they suck, there's little doubt in my mind the two will be canned soon enough.

Agreed. The Natatorium is the worst swimming facility in the SEC. And it would be among the worst in any power 5 conference.
Let's take a look at Texas's swimming facility...
..why Texas, you ask? Because Les Miles' daughter Smacker swims for the Longhorns...
Just goes to show how far behind LSU is in terms of swimming facilities...
...because when it comes to comparing swimming facilities to our fellow SEC schools, and schools around the country, LSU is in the dark ages.
Way past time for a change.

No you do go on and on with your BS.

Gymnastics had one of, if not the worst gymnastics facilities in the country and they were #3 in the Nation. Before they even announced the building of the new facility. But that is fact, something that you don't seem to factor into your BS.
No one was complaining about the facilities when the women's swim team was 15th in the Nation and the men were 24th in the Nation (Geyer's first year). Now that the men are last in D1 and the women have 35 teams ahead of us in D1 swimming, the facility is suddenly the reason for the decline.
It's not a swim roast, just the facts. If Alleva gets rid of failing coaches, why is Geyer still here?
