Lsu isn’t particularly bad at anything but certainly not elite at anything either. When you don’t have anything to heavily lean on you’re kind of just a wildcard


You keep hoping they’ll get hot in the postseason. SW won’t keep ignoring forever that Beth’s ceiling is traveling to and losing a Super Regional, but I think softball is on his back burner for now. Woodward is likely thinking, “let me observe this program for a couple seasons after Texas and Oklahoma come aboard and see if there is further slippage.”

I agree this has been the recent trend and it shouldn’t be accepted as the norm indefinitely, but it obviously wasn’t always the case under Torina. In the first half of her time at LSU, her teams regularly overachieved in the postseason. She clearly knows how to get the most out of her teams in the NCAA tournament. The question is why that hasn’t been the case the last 4 seasons and whether she can recapture the spark that made her so successful before that.

Teams do get hot in the post season but 99 percent of them are already hot before postseason and continue to play well. Teams usually just don’t miraculously start playing well when postseason starts.

Why would we wait for things to get worse while we can position ourselves better now?

It’s not like anyone personally hates Dobson and leftwhich, but you can’t just keep your job for over a decade when you’re not getting the job done. There isn’t a single profession that operates like that-especially with the great money these coaches make to coach softball.

I think Woodward pays at least enough attention to see Torina is still a young and promising coach, and he’s not going to shitcan her without doing everything he can to make her adjust.

I want lsu to win every game but I’d rather ULL put the nail in the coffin with these assistants than slip out of Br and lose two 1-0 games to Washington
