re: Are some of you that invested in Softball to demand a change?

She’s from Shreveport and her dad played baseball for Arkansas.

Last years recruiting class was #5 in the country. This years class is #3. Recruiting is definitely not the problem

I wonder if we could get Glenn Moore to come back to LSU.

He got Baylor to within one game of their 5th WCWS berth.

He's done more with less at Baylor than Beth has to work with at LSU.

Rick Freeman has done well w southeastern. He’s created a program.

Moore is closer to retirement than moving to a different job

I suppose that's true, but I still argue that he's done more with less money and support than Beth has.

Baylor has missed the tournament more than they've hosted recently

The NCAA tournament or the WCWS? Baylor's last trip to OKC was in 2017, the same year as LSU's.

I'm INVESTED in every LSU Sport enough to demand a change when long term Program Mediocrity is present. (SEC and National)

So you are demanding change in at least 10 of the 16 sports LSU sponsors? Baseball, Women’s Basketball and Gymnastics would only have broken free of your definition of mediocrity in the last year. Men’s Track hadn’t won a national title in 19 years before they got one in 2021. Women’s track hasn’t won since 2008, so combined perhaps the track program has also slipped into mediocrity. Football is on the verge of slipping back into mediocrity as well apparently. That leaves Beach Volleyball. They don’t have a title either but they’ve been to the final 8 several years in a row. Something tells me overall you aren’t as consistent in demanding change as you claim or your idea of what is realistic in any program isn’t reasonable.

The softball program isn’t Oklahoma or even Florida or Alabama, but they aren’t mediocre. 7 Super Regionals in 9 years is more than all but a handful of programs. No, they haven’t gotten over the hump to make it back to the WCWS in the last 6 years, but it’s not like LSU had a track record of consistently making it there prior to her arrival. A few programs have had the stars align to make one WCWS run since the last time LSU was there, but there are only 11 that have made it multiple times. Stanford is riding the back of one great pitcher so it remains to be seen if they are really a sustained program. Georgia had 2 runs in 2018 and 2021, but no sustained excellence. There are 6-8 programs that stand out from all the rest. LSU is the next level after that in the top 10-12. It’s not where Torina put them in 2015-17, but it’s not mediocre.

You only fire a coach if you can surely replace them with someone better. Alabama and Oklahoma’s coaches are t coming. Who else is considerably better that would be available?

PS Woodward has sent out inquiries to various coaches and was ready to pull the trigger last year, but his target turned the offer down.

The idea he's done more is just wrong.

When you look at his overall winning percentage and what he's done at Baylor, where he arguably receives less funding and support than LSU, I'd say he's been a better bang for the buck than Torina has.

You don't think that Carly Hoover and Allie Walljasper were pretty damn elite?

Ok even given you those two (which honestly is a stretch) because our definition of elite is a tad different. Two out of how many years Beth has been here????

Hopefully changes happen and we hit portal hard
