I think one of the mistakes I made that I am going to take responsibility for is that I probably delegated too much,” said the coach.

Mainieri continued that since LSU’s 2009 national championship, he feels he hasn’t been hands on quite enough in many aspects of the program.

“When we got back from the World Series in ‘09, I had so many requests for speaking engagements and appearances here and there. My head was spinning. My calendar was full,” said Mainieri. “A lot of times I was late getting back to the field for practice even, and I just feel like I kind of lost a little bit of contact with our players that I think is so critical to have. In order to do that, I had to delegate more and more, and I need to be more involved. I need to be more involved in recruiting. I need to be more involved in every aspect of play on the field.”

This quote really pissed me off and it should piss all of you off as well. That being said, he has earned the right to fix the problem. I can't see him getting fired under any baseball circumstance next year. However, the "not going to Omaha" argument is legit. Kentucky hoops got tired of being just a "sweet 16" team under Tubby. I think LSU baseball people will only accept that for so long.

I agree, it could get interesting. Next year at this time we will know how interesting.
