Again if you are going to discount everything he has done in the regular season the last five years then you have no right to be here complaining right now until the postseason is over. Discount it when it is good but count it when it is not. You can't have it both ways. I agree this team needs to improve but he has earned the benefit of the doubt he will figure it out and make a run in May.

Every single complaint about CPM is valid for the most part. My biggest argument is comparing him to Les. Les won nothing of significance for the last five years while CPM has finished top 8 after the last five regular seasons won a SEC championship two years ago and a couple conference tournament and made it to Omaha a couple times. His record their isn't great and I'll listen to that argument separately but making it is an accomplishment of its own just like making it to a final four is one accomplishment and winning a basketball NC is another. I know we are LSU and we should expect greatness and I'm fine with that and don't want it to change. Just asking for a little bit of reality towards the situation as well.

I do because I have been criticizing him for a while. And you arent measured by your regular season accomplishments at LSU.

I didnt ask for it both ways. Postseason is all that matters. CPM's teams have not been successful in Omaha in a long time even when they have gotten there.

Reality is that LSU baseball is measured by the postseason. Paul mentions that all the time. Why the continuous moving target? Its just to stand up for him. Simple, we have sucked in Omaha and our postseason play has been subpar for LSU's standards. He knew what was expected when he took the job.

who cares about this? this is a sport with a post season playoff and lsu is supposed to be an elite program. omaha wins are all that matter. everything else is window dressing, like stupid national seeds.
