He definitely wasn't as terrible as some make him out to be. I went to a pitcher/catcher camp my senior year (Fall 2002) and got to talk to him and liked him a lot.

But as the poster above said.. expectations were just so high after Skip. 99% of programs would love to have the success Smoke had in his short run at LSU

he might have been a nice guy but no he was terrible. The program was in horrible shape when CPM took over

He was terrible towards the end and trending downward. Go look at the team Mainieri took over in 2007 and then see how much roster turnover there was in 2008.
