We always seem divided

For as many here who are fed up with Paul, there are just as many apologists. We saw the same thing with Les, we were divided on coach O. I think emotion tends to get in the way of performance sometimes. Both good and bad. I fall on the side that Paul sucks, as does Dunn, but there will be the other side apologists that are ok with mediocrity and having pitching staff's that regress and are injured. Looks like Walker is the beneficiary this year of Dunns coaching. He went from a freshman with potential to really bad. Just like we did with Les this will drag on too long and fans will not see eye to eye. I have to think Scott is aware and will make a move....when?

That’s because the apologists here accept mediocrity and/or fear change. They’re comfortable with what we have and fear that change could give us worse results. While there is a chance it could produce worse results, it could also improve. Sometimes change is needed, good or bad and you have to work your way through it. I couldn’t stand Les and wanted him gone long before most. When he was finally fired, I did not think O was the right man for the job but knew change was needed. Look at LSU football now! LSU baseball needs new blood in the coaching staff. We may not get it right the first time but we will know within 3 years. It’s better than 3 years of being just good enough and never winning a title.

After that 3 game skid in 2015 no one was divided. The fan base was ready for Les to leave. It was the governor threatening to reduce the amount of money LSU received academically due to public perception and our current president being a gaping vagina

Arguments can be made for or against Coach Paul. But no matter which side you fall on, it’s hard for me to believe that there’s a lot of people left that wouldn’t agree he’s become stale. The drive seems to be gone and the energy around the program just isn’t what it used to be. The stadium was maybe 1/3 full last night and that had to do with more than the weather and a loss to Nichols. Ten years ago there would have been a massive crowd at the Box on the second Friday night of the season no matter what. I could go on and on about player development and yada yada, but none of that matters because if fans continue to stay home in lieu of going to games, the decision will be made automatically for the powers that be.

Paul is a nice and great guy but this baseball program is stale and needs some new blood.

I believe it'll be at the end of the season. If Mainieri rights the ship, he stays. If he doesn't he goes. Woodward will know when it's time to put the full court press on his short list and get one of them on board.

At this point, I think it's as simple as that. It's way too early to begin the process, though. You part ways with baseball coaches after the season, not five games in. It's not like football coaching changes and there's really nothing to be gained by being hasty. There is plenty of time after the last pitch to handle personnel.

You and I have a different idea of mediocrity.

He has 1 NC, 1 runner up, 4 SEC regular season Championships (1 out of every 3 years), 6 SEC tourney Championships (every other year), 3 national coach of the year awards, is in the College Baseball Hall of Fame, closing in on 1500 wins.
