He spent 4 years with Paul, and followed him to two different jobs. He then left LSU to follow another Paul assistant, Terry Rooney, to UCF. So yeah, I’d say so. And I don’t personally have anything against Godwin fwiw. You’ve just been talking out if both sides of your mouth throughout this thread about multiple different coaches, and I find that funny.

He's spent just as much time with Mike Bianco as Paul. But hey you got me

That’s because he turned them down already per “sources”. Aggie is gonna hire the DBU coach and talk themselves into that it’s a good hire

Do you think that’s a good thing? (That’s McDonnell’s mentor btw
) Regardless, like I said, you’ve been talking out of both sides of your mouth. You called McDonnell old, yet he’s younger than other guys you do like. You also said he hasn’t won anything yet your top guys haven’t won as much as he has. You called him a clone of Mainieri yet one of your guys learned under Paul. I don’t know, maybe you should have just left all that out and you wouldn’t have sounded like such a moron
This isn’t even about Godwin. It’s about you creating reasons you don’t like McDonnell that aren’t even logical, especially when viewed with your other posts
Not quite as bad as the OP’s take on Vitello but close

He’s at Tulane for one. And has them winning more every year and trending in the right direction.

Not sure what you’re talking about at all with this comment. I have literally said nothing about any of those you just mentioned?

Zero NCAAT appearances. What a winner

Looks like he’s treading water. I wouldn’t call that trending in any direction. And it shouldn’t take 5 years to start trending for such an alleged winner

pretty sure vitello and Godwin are both younger but whatever makes you feel better. quote:

They haven't been a head coach as long as he has so its not comparable.
If you actually read the my post I said that there are better options which I believe is Vitello or Godwin based on the trajectory of their careers.
McDonnell is at the peak of his career and hasn't won anything and won't win anything. It also just so happens that they could miss the tournament this year.

I don't think coaching 3 or 4 years with him out of a total of 10 years as an assistant makes him a clone but whatever makes you feel better.

Pretty sure Corbin and O’Sullivsn aren’t. Let’s be honest about all the coaches you discussed, ok?
quote:

So what? They still haven’t won anything right?

It took Tim Corbin 12 years to “win anything.” It took O’Sullivan 10. McDonnell has been at Louisville 13 years. To go a little further back, it took Pat Casey 11 years. It took Ray Tanner 23 years.

Then what exactly makes someone a clone? You clearly seem to think McDonnell is a Mainieri clone for whatever idiotic reason you’ve come up with to justify it.

You were the one that brought both of these coaches up in the first place dumbass. I have been strictly talking about hiring younger coaches and I mentioned that if I had to pick an older coach I would pick O'Sullivan over McDonnell.

That's cool. McDonnell still isn't going to win anything.

PM: 6 CWS appearances with 1 NC with a total record of 10-12 in Omaha
McDonnell:5 CWS appearances 0 NCs with a total record of 4-10.
So my apologies he's actually worse then PM.

Agreed. That is totally what I see. This year is an anomaly with teams having 5th and 6th year players. Even with all the upperclassmen LSU was an eyelash away from winning that series in Tennessee …on the road. Experienced players won them those games.

Sooo how many years will his teams suck here before the building starts to become apparent?

He built TCU into a juggernaut, brought Arkansas roster from good to great, took Tennessee from literally the cellar in the east to winning the division in 3 years.
Admit you don’t know what you’re talking about.
Fun fact: Tennessee has not won a single SECT game in 14 years. Is it the seniors you say?

Our fans are going to shite on whomever we hire, be it Vitello, O’Sullivan, McDonnell, or Godwin.
That’s a damn fine list, whichever way we go, but I’m hoping for the guy with the most upside. That’s Vitello.

If we hire Vitello, we have his whole career...who would leave LSU for anywhere else? He's an ace recruiter, motivator, and best of all, apparently, WANTS THE LSU JOB!!! He helped to build TCU and Arkansas rosters into perennial Omaha contenders. Yes, you are banking on his trajectory trending up, but remember the HTR documentary. Skip came here after taking Miami to Omaha once, and realizing that he wouldn't take over in Coral Gables. Skip was hired on potential. Give Vitello a chance...NOT saying he'll be Skip, but his talent evaluation is elite and he gets the most out of them, as opposed to our current coach.

He will win a title somewhere, I hope it's with LSU.

Vitello has been building TN for a couple of years. Very impressed with his team and their never say die attitude. Guy is young and hungry and would crawl to BR. I say go get him.
I hope we get him but where is the confidence coming from, has he mentioned LSU as a place he'd like to coach?
