Realistically,

How long do y'all think it will be before we win a title with JJ?

All indications so far point towards this team potentially making the run to Omaha. That alone in a coach's first year would be nuts.

I think it is almost inevitable that we get at least one under him if not more, just a matter of when.


I'll keep my opinions on Paul only winning one to myself.

If some pitchers step up, as early as this year.

I wouldn't set that bar at NC or bust ever. I think your goal at LSU would be making it to a Super 7 out10 years and hosting at least 4 of them. From that point, anything can happen. Those expectations aren't changing for any coach. That's my expectations of the program.

If not by 2023 we should fire him seems to be the expectation for many on here

Really hard to win a title in baseball. A lot of good fortune has to happen. Asking this question on the rant, there will be many that say omaha this year.

I just say buckle up, cause we ridin.

3-5 years if I had to guess.

Only two teams won multiple titles while PM was at LSU. That is extremely hard to do in college baseball, but that's for another conversation.

I think expectations for this team needs to be super regional host. This offense should produce like nothing we've seen since '09. If we have pitchers start producing, I think a nice run in the CWS.

Like they said above, if we can get “good” pitching from the staff, I wouldn’t be shocked if we’re playing in Omaha.
I expect to be in Omaha within 3 years, championship within 5. Maybe I’m setting the bar too high, but oh well.

It’s all about pitching since the change in bats.

Looking at top programs since 2011 (10 seasons since 2020 was canceled)

Arizona 3 CWS appearances and 1 championship
Arkansas - 4 and 0
Florida - 6 and 1
Florida St. 3 and 0
Louisville 4 and 0
LSU 3 and 0
Miss. St. 4 and 1
N. Carolina 3 and 0
Oregon St. 3 and 1
TCU 4 and 0
Texas 4 and 0
Texas Tech 4 and 0
Vanderbilt 5 and 2
Virginia 4 and 1

The average top baseball program gets to Omaha 4 out of 10 years and wins 1 championship.

That should be the minimum expectation in the next 10 years.

6 times to Omaha and 2 championships is reasonably expected for LSU.

LSU is picked 4 in the SECW

And all 4 are in the top 10 nationally.

Won’t get them all but it should be in position to make a run in the postseason

I think we could win a regional this year and get to a super. Everyone thinks we are stacked but overlook everyone else, especially in the SEC, having the same covid returning players as well. This year we will see the most talented college baseball teams ever.

They were two wins from Omaha last year. It’s not that crazy of an idea to think they have a chance to get there this year.

Top 8 national seed should be the minimum, always.

This team seems like an Omaha caliber team, but there’s a lot of factors that aren’t taken into consideration when making it to Omaha.

Injuries and just flat out luck play a huge factor.

There are many great coaches in D1 College Baseball with 0 Titles. For example, Dave Van Horn at Arkansas is one. Was literally a dropped pop up from one.
