re: Manieri's uncomfortable interview in the Advocate

Wow some of you are almost hard to bare at times. Is Manieri perfect, by no means. We just completed the season finishing #5. We were consensus #1 for damn near 3/4 of the season and he was named Coach of the Year! Where did TCU, Vandy and Florida finish the season? Same place we did not winning the National Championship.

The difference is that Flordia and TCU finished with respect and went out fighting.
LSU finished as a joke. All because of some of the most questionable pitching decisions I have ever witnessed. But if that were not bad enough the same coach has the gall to not take any responsibility for it.. Instead he names the players that were the problem.

Interesting. I wonder if the family contribution could then be covered by the partial baseball scholarship or if it is taken into account as part of the assistance? That's a pretty big deal if it is then covered by the actual scholarship.

Talk specifics... It looks bad. That final game. The excuses he's now making. His reasoning for the Newman and Norman decisions.
Talk big picture... It looks good. Top 5 team. CWS. COTY (lolol).
Neither should be ignored. But it's the first one that grinds my gears. And I'll come here to discuss it if I want. Deal with it.

When LSU is drawing kids out of Florida, Texas, Missouri, illinois, etc, that really is a pretty lame excuse.
To paraphrase a line from Field of Dreams, "Skip Bertman built it, and they are coming."

While Mainieri was taking his 2 year victory lap after capturing the CWS ... proving that he thought it was all about him ... other programs weren't sitting still. In regards to his success in Omaha since 2009, we have 1 win in 6 years while TCU has 6 wins in that same period of time. In the past, his excuses have been the bat, the ball, the new stadium in Omaha, and now it appears he's had to play other teams "who have our number." Hopefully, his next whine will be more creative.

I agree with all this and it's frankly pretty damn strange to me that so many can't understand this. And we've had more embarrassing finishes to seasons than not under Mainieri.

Read his recaps and intros every year . They're full of BS. Bloop singles cost us, line drives right atum, sun got in his eyes....... Now this shite. He don't handle it well is all I can say.

It's not even that dude. CPM consistently throws players under the bus and he NEVER accounts for his terrible decisions. I haven't seen many coaches do that but it's very classless for a head coach to do that. If I was a player under him I surely wouldn't trust his coaching decisions and maybe LSU's team is already like that.
Anyways, CPM is horrible talking to the media. He says all the wrong things always. I don't think he's a bad coach but IMO, he's not top 5 right now in the country. He'd sit in the top 10 somewhere but certainly not top 5. It seems like recently we've exited the postseason every year because of his horrible game management decisions. You can always criticize a decision in hindsight but CPM is way too consistent at screwing us in postseason play.
He over thinks way too much and it destroys the team every post regional. Do not forget we didn't even see Omaha last year all because of his perplexing pitching decisions in the first elimination game against Houston. NOBODY in this world understands his coaching decisions in postseason play except CPM.

Yea because making it to the Super Regionals and giving LSU a run for its money with what 1 player drafted vs a team with almost the entire starting lineup drafted but only won 2 more games in the NCAA tourney the SR..
they lost all three times they played us this year. we made the CWS. They didn't. no, they did not play just as well as we did

Wait so ULL out recruits Notre Dame?? Maybe the do Im not sure.. Hey why didn't CPM have the advantages of Vandy and Stanford at Notre Dame??
Notre Dame is a northern school. Northern schools in general are at a huge disadvantage compared to everyone. This is not news. Paul Mainieri is responsible for almost half of Notre Dame's all-time NCAAT appearances

I've always liked him even though this is their first NC win. He built that program into a powerhouse. I do think he's a better coach than CPM and I've always thought that even before this season.
CPM's biggest flaw is he has absolutely no feel for the game with his pitching. He will not be fired at LSU...he'll retire is the only way he's leaving. I'm pretty confident in saying that we'll not win another NC while he's here. We'll still be plenty successful but LSU is really starting to fall behind other programs like Vanderbilt in the conference. I'd say at this point USCe, Vanderbilt. and maybe even Florida are a better brand than LSU right now in the conference. Florida and Vanderbilt specifically seem to somehow land guys who are high HS prospects into their programs consistently while LSU needs a ton of luck to get someone like Bregman to fall in their lap.
This should not be happening with the resources LSU should have available to them. We're not only the most profitable baseball program right now, we're one of richest athletic universities.

One in four years. And it didn't take them six years to win another game in the Elite Eight.
Of course, every year, Calipari fields a brand new team. And he didn't cry to the local paper that it was a "disadvantage" and that Duke has a recruiting advantage over them when they lost.
