re: LSU SWIM Coach Hire.

Chill out baw the posting isn't even live yet

Coach Geyer only made $100k/yr. The facilities aren't in good shape. The team culture is toxic and it's headed up from the top by the staff.

I've done more research on this than I care to admit because I joked about applying myself last night. It's my opinion that LSU Swimming, as it stands right now, doesn't need a home run big name hire to improve, it just needs a strong manager and motivator who understands the sport, who is willing to clean house and take some time to change the trend of the program. The damage is systemic, it will take time for any coach to be competitive in the SEC right now.

I think this hire will tell us a lot about how Woodward operates, since brute forcing it with a big name and big spend isn't likely to work here.

Well put. I had a swimmer who recently committed to Louisville and she asked me about LSU along the recruiting process. Told her flat out, "do not even answer LSU's calls." The program is a wreck.
