Did Jay Johnson just catch lightning in a bottle last season?

I know it’s still early but to keep losing like this is very concerning. Maybe he will be like Maneri where he wins a title early then never wins one again. But I hope I’m wrong.

Jay Johnson deserves heat right now for how bad this team is but he is still a good coach. Big changes need to be made though.

DVH is a great baseball coach and has 0 natties. Let’s not act like a championship is a simple process.

Jay is a very technical coach who recruits his arse off. PM was neither of those things.

Mike Martin was a great coach that coached for 40 years and never won one. You need a lot of luck along the way. Baseball is an incredibly cruel mistress.

You mean the guy who is a hall of fame coach who won a championship here….who supplied the majority of the players responsible for winning last years national championship?

I don't know, let's think about that logically.

Oh sorry man, I didn't mean to ask you to do something you obviously can't.

The mental fragility of some of you astounds me.

Wasting your breath Josh. People no longer understand how to think logically so they often think the only way to support one person is to tear down someone else.

I think he's a really good offensive coach, but I absolutely think post championship he liked the smell of his own farts a little too much when it came to offensive development. It's not for a lack of caring about LSU or work ethic.

It's a lot to ask to develop half a roster of hitters in one offseason. Kling, Neal, etc are miles away from being legit SEC starters at the plate.

He had 3rd year starters(floyd, crews,morgan,Thompson, edwards,etc)and 2 players who benefited from covid(Beloso/Dugas) and got a unicorn pitcher.

Yes they were mostly pm's guys, could pm have pulled it off? No. Could Jay, yep.

New starting line up except for White. Jay's work is cut out for him. It will only get harder next year. Hopefully this team sticks together into next year.

I mean Mainieri recruited the majority of key players on last year’s team…

Almost every championship is lightning in a bottle.

We lost 6 hitters/fielders and 4 out of 6 of our most used pitchers. This team was never gonna repeat. Calm down.
