given the money and resources at his disposal, he has underachieved, pretty significantly. his tenure is now known more for stony brook and houston than a distant national championship. and those were 2 of his best seasons. otherwise, it's been pretty dismal.

This isn't the 90s. LSU isn't the only school to invest in baseball anymore. Yes it's all about the post-season but don't act like every season that doesn't end in a national title is a total waste. We've been very consistent the past few years when other power programs have struggled with breaking .500.

no, he hasn't. we're the winningest program in college baseball the last three seasons makes for "significantly underachieving" to be pretty damn hyperbolic.

Well that's because a lot our fan base is dumb as frick, pessimistic, and lack perspective.

He's only been around for 9 seasons. I'd say his 2 best seasons were 2008 and 2009, with 2013 being a pretty damn good season (I believe the second highest win total in LSU's history). a lot can still happen this season too. Does the first season even count with the huge mess Laval left LSU in?

3 CWS appearances
National title
an SEC title
4 SECT titles
The winningest program the last three seasons


Yeah, so dismal. K. Makes perfect sense. There's not a single program that's been more consistent than LSU other than Carolina when it had Tanner, who's now gone.
