Girouard: Cajun past her prime!

PERIOD!

If you think she is motivated, as she was in her Cajunland Alma Mater job, you are dreaming.

She has come here, with LSU Softball ON TOP OF THE SEC.

She beotched, moaned and groaned. She blamed it all on facilities and other excuses.

Yet...she got beat by USL, USL, in recruiting. She let her pitching staff degrade to the point of meltdown. All the while, the facilities did it.

This year she ran a string, on ruptured ducks. When she played Texas, Michigan, North Carolina, Florida and Alabama, SHE LOST THEM ALL!

Now, you cannot expect to beat the best, all the time. But lose them ALL?

Her style is more fit for the 70's, 80's and 90's. To hear her talk, she is in total control.

I don't believe she is up to the best of softball coaches, and I am not sure she WAS, even at her best in Cajunland. She accumulated gaudy stats, when the sport was not at a premium.

A little factoid: When LSU resumed the program under Compton and Moore, they beat the vaunted Madame Peppa, 5 of 7 times. It's almost as if she came here to "stem the tide," and get a decent retirement check. I didn't get that memo, but I surmised as much.

Get a HC that can handle the competition. It is alot about the HC, obviously the recruits want to come to LSU, they come in spite.
