Skip. :duuno:


LSU fans were screaming for Skip's head after the baseball team got swept in an early season series at home by Houston in 2000. LSU lost 10-2, 11-7 and 10-2 at the Box to drop to 6-5 and the fans went nuts. I remember Barbier making comments in the paper that the team just ignored stuff like that from the fans.

Yep, that was Skip's last NC team. The fans were saying the game had passed him by, and that he didn't have it anymore. There is nothing that will keep LSU fans from picking apart any coach that doesn't win every game.

Skip brought in a psychologist later that season to talk the boys they went on a tear on their way to the championship.

I imagine most coaches don't do that.

Baseball championships are tough to win. Gotta avoid injury, avoid kids coming here and then leaving because they don't like school, and the draft screws over seniors on signing bonuses.
