I can't tell if you are joking by trying to compare everything to Miles or you are serious.
Saying you can't depend on anyone is very reactionary.

They both have coached at LSU for 10+ years, yes.

If national seeds mean nothing they why melt over a midseason series loss on the road to a top 15 team? I keep seeing people say that all of Mainieri's past success and national seeds mean nothing and its postseason success that matters, so why not wait until the postseason to judge this team? LSU has peaked too early in the past, maybe this year will be different. At least I hope it will be.
And if you're actually thinking that Mainieri being fired this year is a possibility, keep dreaming. It isn't happening.

I asked who can LSU depend on among this pitching staff, who can turn this season around? Still waiting for an answer.

Hess showed that he can be reliable on Friday night, that could be a huge plus for the bullpen for the rest of the season.
And its tough to blame this year's bullpen issues on Mainieri when we have two veterans out for the year, who likely would have been important pieces to the bullpen.

I keep expecting Mainieri to make a change in the pitching rotation, but it happens. And there's no excuse for the lack of hitting by LSU's top of the line up, they just disappear.

besides, my overall point is that several other programs don't have to resort to the pitiful "we're national seeds" claim. they've actually won games in omaha. that should not be acceptable to any rational lsu fan.

quote:Yes, they are different.
Comparing football to baseball is like apples to oranges. Different competitive landscape and different factors come into play.
Football- Saban won a contested NC, Miles won a NC with 2 losses, and the football program took turns in the SEC West every other year, and Florida was also winning NC's in roughly the same time period. That was a golden age of LSU football, but it wasn't the greatest run in the SEC... Alabama has done as much, both before and afterwards. Florida was equal to us.
Baseball- might be ancient history to youngsters, but Skip built LSU into the greatest program in SEC history, and arguably one of the best in college history (have to give USC the edge for titles).
It's rare now that we win the SEC, much less make it to Omaha.
I don't really care if we fire Manieri, but if you're going to be honest, the baseball program has slid further from "where it should be" than Miles' football program did.

Lange and Walker are obvious answers but that's about it.

If everyone does know this, they are keeping their mouths shut about it. You are the only one that mentions this at all.
Why didn't we receive our honorary seed in 2010? We had to travel to L.A.

PM is going to retire at LSU as the head baseball coach. It may be in a couple of years but he is not getting let go.

Mainieri is well liked, but they don't pay coaches $millions to be well liked, they pay them to win and not embarrass the LSU program. There were many descriptions in the media describing LSU's two massive losses, not of it was flattering to the program.

Maineiri could be in HUGE trouble if the Tigers lose even 1 game this coming wknd.

Similar to Miles, Mainieri is handsome.
