We need Alex Lange to pitch at the high level like he did this year. I hope somebody will develop enough to pass Jared Poché in the rotation. If we had a rotation of Lange and another super stud dominating guy and Jared Poché was your third-best starter, that’d be a pretty good staff.

When Alex Bregman came here as a freshman, we didn’t know he was going to be that caliber of a shortstop. A lot of people thought catcher was the position he should play. In fact, the summer before he came to school here, he wasn’t even playing shortstop. He was catching. Only because I encouraged him to take groundballs every day and that I wanted to look at him at short first that he prepare himself to try to be the shortstop here.

Good for Paul but really goes to show the athleticism of Bregs...

And the wind of public opinion finally begins to shift. Has it really taken this long for people to become disenchanted with Paul?
I've said for years that his record is good because of his players not because of his merits as a coach.
Say what you want about Les and his gaffes. At least he doesn't throw his players under the bus while talking about how great he is.

wonder how Poche will feel when he reads that. That was an unneccasary comment that does nothing but single out one player for not being good enough.

Man he really shite on Poche. That's pretty shitty to say about a guy you're gonna rely on next year.

How would Mainieri feel if Joe Alleva publicly said:
"I hope somebody will develop enough to take Paul Mainieri's job as head coach at LSU?"

Wait, he actually said this? I hope he meant and maybe he should have said, "We really want Poche' in the bullpen, so we are hoping somebody will develop to take his spot in the rotation".
This would have sounded a lot better and this has to be what he meant.

Is he trying to make people hate him?

I hope Poche reads this and transfers. I've never heard a coach talk about a player in that way. This will not end well. I predict right now this is the end for Paul Mainieri. I expect Bertman to pay him a visit and explain to him how many ways to jesus that this is a fricked up thing to say about a kid. Until now I've been on the fence about the whole throwing under the bus thing. But now I have lost all respect for Mainieri.
Hey I hope Andy Cannizaro can become better at coaching and get to the point that he passes up Mainieri. I can imagine a pretty good team if only Mainieri was just the 3rd best coach on the roster.

Such a humble man, giving all the credit to his players and taking all of the blame when it comes down.

...and yet he'd still manage to fail in the postseason.

I was done with PM several years ago due to this kind of mentality. These interviews just further my opinions.
If we win 7straight NC's good, but I'll still think PM is a c*nt

So Paul, if you have TWO all American pitchers, you may win two games in Omaha. Ok, got it.
