Not a bad coach, probably best hire for LSU to get him home

If we're talking legacy hires the only choice is Godwin. Been here, been Oxford, done it on his own.

And even with this super regional appearance, he still doesn't have as many trips as Mainieri does, despite having been at Ole Miss significantly longer.

You, and anyone else that suggests Bianco as head coach, should be banned.

Say what you will Mark Richt and Kirk Ferentz were making BCS bowl game appearances and still shitting the bed in those games like Bianco does.

There’s 15 other super regional coaches too. We’re trying to hire the best, not one of the rest.

I don’t know that Bianco would be one of my top guys, but I could still get behind him.

As fans we only tend to look at the win loss record and post season success, but you have to look at the entire picture. I remember a thread from earlier this season talking about how well Ole Miss has developed pitchers and field players vs how a lot of guys here just appear to be stagnant.

Take recruiting classes, over the past 5 seasons Ole Miss has on average brought in the 22nd ranked recruiting class in the country. If you take away their 2nd ranked class in 2019 that number becomes 28th. LSU has been 6th in that time span, with 3/5 being in the top 5 in the country.

Ole Miss has done a really good job taking lesser talented players, and developing them into really good college players to the point that their program is arguably (maybe undoubtedly) in a better position then we are currently.

Mike is a great recruiter and regular season coach but he is dismal in the post season. It would be such a lazy terrible hire

Baseball recruiting classes are more inaccurate than all others
Also look at the 5 years before that. He had better classes than PM most of the time with less success

This is a very good analysis. I think we could do worse, but he wouldn't be in my initial top 3, maybe top 5. If everyone else turns us down, Bianco would be ok.

But you make everyone else turn you down, and I don't think we get past our initial list (McDonnell, Godwin, O'Sullivan) with that happening. Not with SW leading the way.

So the complaint from LSU baseball fans is basically we’re not winning as many Championships as LSU should be winning. How does Bianco change that?

I’m not advocating he is who I want as coach but it’s obviously all coaches records are worst in the regionals, super regionals, and college World Series. Just saying.

And? From 10-16 he had a better avg class than PM but PM had a better record and did more in the postseason

Because he’s a great coach when it comes down to developing players and motivation. Baseball is one of those sports where you have to have the baseball gods on your side, and Ole Miss has never had that luck. Ole Miss chokes in every sport and just sucks in the big moment. I think it’s more of an Ole Miss thing than Bianco not being a good coach.

Really? You really believe a school has bad luck?
