I have always heard coach PM coaches players differently. Some guys thrive in it, while others don't. Wish Grayson the best of luck. I was really rooting for him because I love his dad as a pitcher.

He's a great coach but i am not a fan of Paul.

It's not just the coach that is expected to compete for national championships.

Did Bregman have fun?
What about the 2 Nola's?

I have no doubt that the pressure and expectations placed on baseball players at LSU is quite high, and the coach is very demanding, and probably should be.
I just wish the coach would learn not to trash the players in public. It's beneath him and serves no purpose.

That little fuker will continue to punish these kids as he sees fit. I guess he figures he's earned the right .......

I have heard many times that PM rides players, and we all know how he tosses them under teh bus. He's a tough a-hole of a guy as well apparently. That translates well to some kids and not to others. Personally I think unless you have a bunch of super talented kids on the team, PM is going to have trouble getting this team titles. Look at the team taht won it in 09. Some serious talent + old bats + old Blatt. Dean, Schimpf, Mahtook, Mitchell, Gibbs, were all high end picks. Let's not forget Coleman, Ranaudo and Ott. I think PM loves those tireless workers like Bregman, but those guys are few and far between.

Of all the things Paul has said about his players, this is far from bad. Clearly him and Paul just didn't get along. End of story. Paul is still a damn good coach with a tough personality to some.
How many successful coaches out there have this same type of personality?
Exactly. Good luck, Byrd. Wish it were a different outcome.

When I first heard this my first thought was maybe daddy Paul was trying to interfere too much. But in the interviews I remember him giving, he just never came off as that kind of person...who knows. I'm just disappointed that it didn't work out for Grayson. I wish him well.

How can he not be happy playing ball and slaying lsu baseball groupies.

Chest. Byrd doesn't have it.
Posted on 7/31/15 at 5:50 pm to tigerskin
Mainieri's personality doesn't mesh with all players. He's a picky coach and a pain the butt. Most good coaches are. I don't think any less of Byrd for leaving just because they didn't mesh. And I don't have an issue with the comments. It's the truth.

I dont see this as throwing anyone umder the bus. PMs way with his players works with quite a few of them and doesnt with a couple. Off the top of my head, here are players he really grinded on that worked out:
Schimpf, coleman, cotton, rhymes, foster, bregman, and jacoby.

No great need to dissect this departure as both coach and player allude to why Byrd decided to leave. It wasn't a fit for Byrd (whatever the exact reason). CPM will ultimately find another kid that is a better fit and hopefully that kid can get on the field as Byrd struggled to do so.
