re: CJJ’s 2026 coaching job in a nutshell

My knee jerk reaction was the same.

Guidry has to have the highest number of flyball outs to the warning track per batters faced on the staff.

And Jay brings him in to pitch on THAT softball field?

But after taking some time to think about it and knowing how much thought Jay puts into EVERYTHING, he decided this was the time for Guidry to decide his spot on the roster moving forward

Jay is managing this team for next year, whether we like it or not. Sure, he wants to win, but he knows more than anyone what this team is up against in its present state.

He’s going to figure out what he’s got with the marginals and work on getting what he needs to get his program back to competing for championships. Losing these games the same way every time versus the better SEC teams is no accident.

My disappointment tonight was much less with Guidry, who essentially gave us an open roster spot for next year, but with the step back that Schmidt took. You can’t give up 10 free bases in 4 innings (7 BBs, 2 HBP, and a WP).

Regardless, he’s a piece moving forward. Let’s use these last 5 games to see who wants to be a part of the turnaround next year.

There is a good team in there. Think about this, if Jay had Anderson and Eyanson this season, this team would be in their way to a 18(at least)win season in the sec. Think about all the games we lost, the high scoring ones and plug those 2 guys into those situations. Different story. This team has enough defense and hitting. Lsu lacks the stones on the bump.
