Maybe/probably so. But you do have to think that if there wasn't REAL interest by one (possibly more) of the guys coaching in Omaha LSU would have already moved on.

That said, I suspect all of the schools who have teams competing in the CWS right now are happy with their coaches and probably want to do what is necessary to keep them at their school. So I think for LSU to have their sights set on getting a guy currently coaching in the CWS they feel they have a really good shot at getting him (hopefully not just unwarranted hubris)

Vitello hired Sexton this year. Even if he doesn't want/take the LSU job, it's smart to wait to hear them out and to not sign what's on the table from Tennessee.

I think it is bold, and probably just a case of an agent telling LSU that (whichever coach) they would be willing to hear what LSU is offering AFTER the CWS. I can almost guarantee that none of these coaches at the CWS are even allowing their agents to talk to them about LSU. They have jobs to do at the highest level. So, I don’t believe that we have any actual “in” with any of them. Just the future willingness to listen, which leaves us at step one. I’m not worried about it, because I truly believe that there are quite a few coaches who can lead LSU to Omaha and a NC.
