Winstead wins national title....gets one year extension.

People shite on les, and belive me, I can be pretty nega les , but he is miles (no pun) better than Mainieri. Racking up 20 wins a year against no body , then shits the bed where it matters. On top of throwing kids under the bus.

Past success aside- Manieri's a genuine piece of shite as a person and I couldn't care less about LSU baseball until he leaves, regardless of any signs of promise they might show in the regular season going forward.


I'm sure they'll really miss your support.

Why is Maineri a piece of shite?

Seriously I don't know. Enlighten me. Is it because he doesn't shy away from talking shite about his players to the media?

Spurrier does that and everyone fricking loves that guy.

His atrocious press conferences are enough evidence for me. I don't care if he freaks out in Omaha, but I'm tired of him making fun of lsu athletes in the media.

Well I'm obviously not going to do that. Why can't you just say it on here?

Elaborate, please. I don't run in the same circles as high school baseball coaches.

Yep, I don't even engage people who still defend the cretin. If they can't see him for what he is by now, they never will. Probably the same crowd that gets their testes in a knot when they think about if Saban had stayed and how grand things would have been.

I don't see anyone defending him. I see folks asking you to expound on your statement that he is a piece of shite. They don't know what you are talking about or why you are saying that other than press conferences. So if you have other info, please pass it along.

Les is better at his job than Mainieri is at his.

Yeah, I don't give a single frick about his press conferences or "throwing players under the bus" that people perpetually bitch about. They're adults playing Div. 1 baseball at the premier program in the country. I just want him to not handle a CWS elimination game like a Wednesday night Alcorn State game. People are really misplacing some anger here.

What? You mean you DON'T frequently converse with high school coaches? Tough luck, bro. Read between the vague, ambiguous-as-frick lines that these geniuses are laying out for us.

He just seems like a walking excuse to me (to be fair I don't follow the baseball stuff super closely but enough to form an opinion)

He's quick to point out player deficiencies, while taking blame for none of his flaws.

To me, great leaders take blame even when it shouldn't fall on them.
