Dang, 2 huge roles for some young guys.
Think Cain is 30 and Gibbs 27-28

Wow, way to go CPM! This is proof he has totally lost touch with this program. How do you go from a guy that rose up the ranks and gets an SEC job to 1 guy who would not be on any other staff in America (who also can't figure out 3rd base coaching) and a former player who has little to no experience. Talk about a "brother in law" deal!!!

Yup. After such a great hire in Canni, this is what he comes up with when Canni leaves?

Dammit ! I wanted to break this !!

Alleva told him they didn't have the money to hire a hitting coach because Jimbo's buyout is so high.

Well he got an SEC HC job, no one would turn that down to stay on as an assistant

Kendall's piece on the hiring
quote:
LSU got one of the big surprises of the offseason a few weeks ago when John Cohen chose former Tigers assistant Andy Cannizaro as Mississippi State’s head coach to replace him. With Cannizaro long gone from Baton Rouge, head coach Paul Mainieri went on the prowl for a replacement.
LSU90X90Sources tell D1Baseball.com that LSU is moving former pitcher and current assistant Nolan Cain to full-time assistant and recruiting coordinator, while Micah Gibbs, a former catcher at LSU, will handle the offensive duties.
Cain, 30, and a reliever on LSU’s 2009 national championship club, joined the LSU staff back in 2013 as the Coordinator of Baseball Operations. After two seasons with that job, Cain was moved to Volunteer Assistant Coach after previous volunteer Will Davis was named the head coach at Lamar University. In addition to his duties as an assistant, Cain served as LSU’s third-base coach last season. Furthermore, his promotion isn’t exactly a surprise. Cain has a good reputation locally in Baton Rouge and nationally is known as a charismatic and likable coach with strong knowledge of the game. Cain also has helped with LSU’s on-campus recruiting efforts the past two seasons.
Meanwhile, Gibbs’s new role is intriguing. The 28-year-old, Pflugerville, Texas, native, was a standout catcher on LSU’s 2009 national championship team and joined the coaching staff earlier this year as the Coordinator of Baseball Operations. Though Gibbs is new to this type of role, those around the baseball office at LSU have called him a “natural” and a potential rising star in the industry.
LSU is coming off a strong fall and you can read our fall report on the Tigers, here. Expectations for this club will be sky high entering 2017 as they aspire to win the program’s seventh national title.
Though just a short time ago the Tigers expected to navigate the waters with Cannizaro in tow, they now do so with two familiar faces in much more important roles.

You suck at making posts on internet forums.

Wow, talk about a step down.

Paul Mainieri: "He's obviously a strong candidate. If we go that way, Micah would be a great candidate to be hitting coach"
From Paul Mainieri: Nothing is official yet. Nolan Cain handling RC duties until advertising is complete and full-time person is hired

Your obsessive jealousy of Maineri is getting tiresome.
I'll not ask if you would have turned down that job because we all know you would have never been offered it.

Gibbs was about as solid and smooth of a switch hitter as we have ever had. Hopefully it works out!

Gray, I get it that you feel like you have to be a bitch with everything I post. All I said is that it sucks. Calm down.
