No person that's being honest with themselves knew who PM was before he came to LSU. That's a fact.

Another fact, in 24 years of coaching (before LSU), he made one CWS appearance. Tell me, does this strike you as a "great one".

Sure, he's maintained LSU somewhat. And I don't think he necessarily a bad coach. But he is not great, and LSU could do better. LSU made him great. LSU was already great.

Really? Notre Dam. You mean a school that held in such high regard in everything? What about Stony Brook? Louisville? Kent State? UC Irvine? Cal state Bakersfield? Maryland? Indiana? UC Santa Barbara? San Diego State? Coastal Carolina? Southern Miss? Should we go on?

So by your logic, all the coaches from the above schools could be hired by LSU because they made a single CWS appearance?

So the question remains, before coming to LSU, would made PM "one of the greats"?

And what you will ultimately come to, is the the answer is.... LSU.

LSU under Smoke Laval immediately preceding Mainieri being hired had dropped off to the extent that the talent cupboard was bare when Mainieri arrived. Fan support had almost died.

Since 2012 LSU has more total wins than any other college program.

As I posted in the other thread that you've polluted, you have to be an admin that Chicken is using to troll the board in order to drive up clicks.

All of this?

Moving to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in 1995, Mainieri turned the Fighting Irish into a perennial postseason contender winning the Big East tournament a record 5 straight seasons, making the NCAA Tournament 9 out of 12 seasons, and leading the Irish to one College World Series appearance in 2002. He won the 2001 Big East Coach of the Year award. In total, Mainieri posted a .714 winning percentage going 533–213–3 in twelve seasons.

Also, Skip hired him. Are you saying Skip doesn't know a great baseball coach?

You’re right but these people won’t admit that. CPM is clearly above avg and probly an upper 3rd college baseball coach but the Rant saying he’s alltime or top 3 is crazy. Remember this same group of fans said the same things with the same supporting arguments to determine that Miles was a top 5 coach. LSU isn’t just a blue blood college baseball program it’s the number 1 baseball program but when you compare LSU baseball to Alabama football or Duke basketball we don’t measure up and that’s because CPM isn’t on their coaches level even though the Rant proclaims he is.
