How many of you have coached baseball at a high level before

....exactly, thought so.
Look at what Paul Mainieri has done in his career as a head coach..it more than deserves giving him the benefit of the doubt for moves he makes. This team is Number 2 in the country, and will probably be 1st in the SEC within a week or 2. We have already proven ourselves this year (UGA,SC), sure we arent winning every game and we do make mistakes...but if u stop for a second and look at the rest of the country...so is everyone else! We need to improve,yes, but people coming on here TELLING all of us what we need to do, and how many mistakes Mainieri has made are a complete joke.
Just a little venting....Bama sucks, Geaux Tigers!

+1!
I'll also add that while we are losing it over losing ONE game to Bama (with Coleman on the mound today), Arkansas is in the process of having lost two in a row to Vandy at Baum Field. We're going to be just fine. Oh, and Happy Easter everyone!

Hmm I think its pretty much a draw between people that belive that coach can make no mistakes and those that think that they know more.
I tend to think he is a great coach that does make some dumb mistakes but makes more good decisions than bad making him a good coach.

BTW I do firmly believe I would make a better 3B coach than Sanchez. Considering I dont see how anyone with a slight education in baseball could do worse at directing the runners.

It's the same group that knows more than our two national championship head football coaches, our men'sFinal Four basketball coach, our four time women's Final Four coach, our two Hall of Fame women's basketball coaches, and our ultra successful women's softball coach.
Time to create statues of each of them outside of the PMAC, Tiger Stadium, Alex Box and Tiger Park.

So what you're saying is only collegiate baseball coaches are allowed to observe, evaluate, and voice opinions on other collegiate baseball coaches?
Posted on 4/12/09 at 10:56 am to cjgulina
I agree 100%! Similarly, I also believe that only former U.S. Presidents can criticize the President, only former television personalities can criticize ESPN anchors, and only former athletes at a certain level can criticize current athletes at that level (i.e. if you weren't an SEC QB you can't even say Jarrett Lee's name).

cj, you should know that if most of the posters on here could get a day off from the drive-thru window they could apply for the HC job in Football, Basketball, and Baseball and lead the Tigers to 3 undefeated seasons and three NCs.

depends on your definition of "high level".
I coach the Marlins 4 yr old T-Ball squad down at Jr deputy. It's obvious to me that PM is in way over his head.

ive also never been president. does this means i cant question him? in fact since the only thing ive ever been in my life is an accountant then thats the only thing im allowed to question. nothing else.
sounds like fricking communism to me.

I once scored 46 runs on a Coleco baseball game and was hit in the head with a pitch by future Olympian Kim Mulkey in a Little League game - does that count?

the premise of this thread seems to be that if you have no experience in coaching at a high level you have no right to be critical of a coach which is flawed (see the I know a good meal even if I can't cook idea - I know a good team and a well coached team even if I can't coach) Sports fans often have a fairly good level of understanding of the games, even though they aren't qualified to be considered experts
I played ball growing up, as did most people who post here, but I watch hours and hours of various sports and I know a well coached team when I see it The real issue is whether we should be so critical of a few instances of coaching judgment that we don't understand or agree with
the LSU baseball team is playing well and is clearly playing better than the team from a few years ago so the coach has earned the chance to make a mistake or two
baseball is about percentages, and just because the percentages don't work every time doesn't make someone a bad coach
As for basketball, in my humble opinion, this is the best actual basketball coach LSU has had in my memory
