It's amazing that these haters believe their own stupidity. If you want to complain about a few Omaha losses fine but to act like PM is a bad coach and should be fired is absolutely absurd and shows the ignorance of this board. The majority of the haters couldn't even tell you basic baseball knowledge and don't even follow the team closely. They just wake up in the morning and read that LSU baseball lost and come here to bitch that the coach should be fired. Unreal



The suppoe-ed top program in the country, LSU, not making a serious run at the national title in almost 8 years is all ANYONE needs to know about PM. And we all know it aint happening this year or next, or next.

I'm not going to debate whether he is a decent coach or not. Let's say he is. But for whatever reason, he is not making a difference at LSU. And there are no excuses why he can't get there anymore, he has EVERYTHING HE NEEDS. Consequently, there can be no argument to be made on why he should remain at LSU.

I don't think the self-annointing of LSU as the "top program" is justified.

There are plenty of competitive programs today.

Last week before the Texas A&M series i got pummeled by LSU zealots for suggesting that LSU is soft and the players reflect the man at the top of the program. After this past week and weekend losing to average instate teams as well as to a very mediocre Texas team, i have to reaffirm my position that mental toughness plays a roll. Maybe the players need less time playing Xbox and more time in the batters box ..............

So your answer to the problem is more batting practice because the players cant handle the mental strain of doing something they have done for almost their whole life? What about the the bullpen and lack of any depth?

What college baseball coach has won the most games over the last 5 years? Or, the last 9 years? Who is the only college baseball coach whose team has been a top 8 national seed every year for the last 5 consecutive years?

If you believe that only by winning the CWS prevents a coach from being "underwhelming" you're going to believe that 294 teams are underwhelming every year.


This is the point and we only have one CWS title to show for it.
And we can't get there some years when we should have been-Stonybrook and Houston just to name a few.

I know from your post you are a big CPM supporter, but it all comes from the top down in any business and belive me this is a business for CPM.
If I had employees in a business and they kept getting close but couldn't close the deal they would eventually be terminated.
His insecurities are going to be his demise in the end.
Hire a competent hitting coach and stop bringing in former players with no experience except they were great players at LSU.

I'm not questioning what he's accomplished, but CPM's decisions are not working any longer, so he needs to figure it out or lose his job.

Dizz Dizz Dizz .............. surely you have more to say then be so shallow............... the 0-4 loss was not good hitting............. the inability to get the clutch hit when you blow a 3-0 lead was not good .....

bullpen is and has been terrible for quite a few years. so micro manage your own responses not my mindless frustrated rambling. Ok Sweet cakes

We won the SEC in 2015 and have been a national seed 5 years in a row. I would say it's working fine

They believe that LSU should win a national title about every two years. We always "have the best players." The other teams are always "weak." There is no recognition that there are other schools with talented baseball teams and good players.

Exactly. There are more than 15 excellent baseball players in the entirety of college baseball. They are not all at LSU.

OPs impressive downvote count would suggest that a large number of fans feel that CPM shoulders at least some of the responsibility here.

Seriously, name me 10 active coaches that have the resources, tradition, facilities, fans, and every other possible thing necessary to be a top contender like LSU year after year?

It continues to astound me the kind of excuses that PM supporters can make for the guy. It's almost as if PM has hired a PR firm to troll the boards and post these excuses for him.

The competition is just as strong for the teams which are winning. LSU is NOT winning. Other programs with less money, less support, and far less tradition are doing well while LSU is sliding. You are oblivious to reality.

I think there are 3 active coaches with 2 CWS Championships: Mark Marquess at Stanford (1987 & 1988), Jim Morris at Miami (1999 & 2001) and Pat Casey at Oregon State (2006 & 2007).

I think all of them are still active.

So, in the last 30 years two coaches have won two NCAA baseball championships.

As I said, it isn't easy to win one.

The negatiger fans need to settle down. There is nothing mediocre about LSU's baseball program.

He's not good enough to be that much of an a-hole to his players
