Why would he just be hanging around BR? Cheese fries can be found everywhere.

Smoke had a pretty impossible task of following Bertman. It’s what DeBoer is about to go through at Bama.

Did he trip over the candle in the dugout?

Maybe we can bring him back next year and do head-coach-by-committee with Skip Bertman, Smoke Laval, Paul Mainieri, and Jay Johnson sharing all the decision-making!!

He brought ULM to the Baton Rouge regional in 1995 and nearly beat the #1 national seed Fullerton.

He is « lead-dog » at Ernest Hemingway’s Bar, Key West….Conga Line.

He lost 110 pounds and holds Limbo record at the same pub….FWIW

Not impossible at all. Smoke was fully capable but he treated the LSU job like it was a reward for a long successful career. You can’t succeed at the level LSU expects if you aren’t a killer.

I would hope he is welcome to come to campus any time he wants. Honestly, if you think about it, not many ex coaches come to campus unless they are being honored for something.
