Thank you Scott.
Johnson: 2 seasons in SEC, 1 national championship.
O'Sullivan, Bianco, Vitello: 45 seasons in SEC, 2 national championships.

Glad we were able to help land Jay. Great investment already paying dividends

When Jay was hired I didn't know if he would work out due to him being a West Coast guy all of his career prior to LSU. Proved me wrong, :)

Thank god Woodward whiffed on Casey, Sully, Bianco, McDonnell, Vitello. LSU might of ended up with a no named Johnson.

Obviously the coaches he brought in have won and done well. But does the rant think he is some kind of zen master of coaching hires? Not trying to flame or be a dick but weren’t all three hires proven commodities and were just hired on to a university with more funds, better facilities and fertile recruiting grounds. And we are shocked that produced positive dividends? It’s not like he found and unproven coach that came to LSU and then became the goat like Saban for example. I mean he gave his boy jimbo all the money and how is that working out.

The best part is: He's 46, and loves it here. It would shock me to see Jay leave LSU for any other job, we're in for some good times.

Man you are always talking out of your arse

Bianco was never an option. Good ole boy hire wasn’t happening. Woodward was going for a winner.

Baseball is the least regional of the college sports I believe.
It’s not like they play a different style out there plus his roots out there likely will help recruiting.
LSU will pull the “ normal” LSU region and Jay definitely expanded the footprint.

If its that easy, why doesn't every school do it?

O'Sullivan
I believe he was the first choice. That timely release of information by UF was to keep him there. Sully has done a great job, like him or not.

Paul said a west coast friend recommended Jay when he retired. Paul passed the name on to Woody.

O’Sullivan would have done well here. It also would have screwed over Florida.

Don't know if it's related, but he was doing better when Scott was there.

I bet you knew who Brian Kelly was by name and past accomplishments before he was hired
I bet you knew who Kim Mulkey was by name and past accomplishments before she was hired
I bet you had no idea what the name of Arizona’s head baseball coach was before he was hired, and knew next to nothing about his accomplishments other than seeing Arizona in the CWS once or twice over the years
As LSU fans we now know everything about the guy’s background, from his days as a prep RB to coaching Kris Bryant and everything in between. But don’t let this recall bias obscure the fact that, back then, JJ was still a relative unknown to almost all of us and still an unknown commodity. He wasn’t even close to being on the radar for 99.999% of this board.

Anybody who followed college baseball knew who Jay Johnson was. He was the hire I wanted all along.

O'Sullivan would have won big here but man it would be hard to pull for such a douche head coach
There’s zero chance Bianca was going to be the guy especially with all the fan backlash
