I've watched at least a dozen Coach Jay. Johnson pre-season videos. One thing stands out

Can you donate directly to the baseball program or does it have to be the whole athletic program ?

I’m in a financial place where I’m going to start donating to LSU.

How about we improve the seating at Alex Box before we worry about a billion dollar indoor practice facility

Look, the man won 2 national titles in 3 years……. Give him what the frick he wants.

It’s a back burner sport at 95% of all
D1 schools. Always has been always will be. It will be financed as such . We happen to be the at the tip top of the 5% . Enjoy it.

Yep, I’d take care of Jay’s wishlist before the fans.

Rousse and Verge are going to have a shitshow on their hands if Aggy hires JJ.

All the goodwill with LK will be quickly spent.

Figure this out Verge, reward performance and JJ has delivered.

It’s not LSU’s fault the facilities have been on the back burner with nil at the forefront

Do you want facilities from your donors or nil support

Jay said at the first coachs committee meeting that you are stuck with me until 2032 with his recent extension
I don’t think he’s leaving lsu because of an indoor infield at this point

Plus lsu already has an indoor facility
He wants an indoor infield but they can always use the turf infield (u highs field)

Basketball facility is needed before anything else

I do think Jay has some saban in him and at some point if he feels like he wants another challenge maybe their is something else out there he would entertain but at the college level I don’t know that he would find anything better than lsu

I have a feeling somewhere down the line they may expand the indoor facility and you have some former players that could come into play to help with that

We are at the point of wanting new stuff just to say we got new stuff.

yeah. Jay strikes me as a guy who is just slinging shite at the wall to see what he can get.

/sarcasm

Give Jay what he wants and he's gonna challenge Skip as the best baseball coach we've ever had. Dude has the drive of a guy who will never be satisfied no matter how many CWS he wins. Let's see how many he can get and keep him as happy as possible.

Jay is making between $3.05 million and $3.65 million over the next 7 years. If he wants a new indoor practice area bad enough he can likely fund it himself.

Or is it just yours and my money he needs to build it.


I want LSU baseball to win as much as anyone. I follow the team, I go the games, I make road trips to cheer for the team. But I'm serious when I say that at some point money is finite. LSU is in the top 3 nationally for LSU player facitilites. LSU has ponied up many millions of dollars to get Jay what he needs to win at LSU. It's time to spend a little money on the fans.

1. Basketball arena is top priority, IMO. We do not need to spend money on fan stuff at Alex Box.

2. As far as baseball is concerned, spending money on players is top priority.

3. Jay Johnson would do well anywhere that baseball is an important priority. He is a great head coach as well as a builder/maintainer of a program. He will not find a place that has more dedicated fans/support for baseball than LSU.
