I think that with Beth Torina and her present coaching staff we can only expect what we have been getting over all these years. If that is enough for you as a fan , you will be happy.
If you want to have an LSU team that plays in the top two-three and competes (and maybe wins) for the National Championship , you will not be happy with these coaches.

If Woodward could go out today and hire away the coach at Florida St, I’d be all for it. Absent that, the lack of a national championship is more a product of the limitations of the program than of the coach. The sport is dominated by a handful of power programs in recruiting hotbeds (plus Oklahoma having the advantage of proximity to OKC.) If LSU were to go out wildly chasing national titles, they would be more likely to run the program into the ground than to actually win one. Just look at what has become of major football programs like Nebraska, Tennessee, Texas, Miami, etc.
