Couldn't even get out the 1st SEC weekend. They must have hated that guy.

I had no idea he was coaching again. Doesn’t he still advise LSU Athletics?

I’ll handle this response like I handle these types of questions with my students.


I want you to take a second to think about this situation and answer that question yourself.

I wish no ill on Mainieri. It was clearly a bad hire from jump street for USCe. He was done before he ever left LSU.

But at least he’s also completely unlikable and a weasel.

It was an insane hire to begin with, anyone that had a hand in approving it should also be put on notice

He was so obviously checked out towards the end of his LSU career, what exactly did SC think was going to happen?

South Carolina should’ve never hired him. They deserve this.

It’s not like we wanted Mainieri. Ray Tanner continuously fricked our university and hiring Paul was his final turd of a gift.

Our athletic department has a long way to go to recover from the damage that Ray Tanner did.
