So for those that were around at the time - was he just a crappy coach
His 1967 and '68 teams finished the regular season tied for first in the SEC West. His 1975 team was considered the best team in SEC history up until that point--first SEC team to ever hit the 40-win plateau. Skip Bertman's first visit to LSU was as an assistant coach for Miami in the late 1970s--Coach Smith swept Miami in that series. Paul Mainieri played for him for a while and later returned to LSU to lead it to a national title.

Cool stories...my dad was at LSU during the late 70's and he used to take my mom to baseball games for a "cheap date"...I think you could get in free with student ID...he said there were zero people in the stands...probably good for a "cheap feel" as well knowing my dad
just to be accurate...my pops was there in the early 70's as well...undergrad, MBA and PHD and he said the baseball stadium was dead the whole time.
