re: Fire Beth Torino Immediately

So you believe "most coaches are fired in major conferences" after those coaches consistently get their teams into the NCAA post season tournament? I'd really like to see those stats. Do you have a link supporting your claim?

Well actually, thanks for pointing that out. I did misread the initial post.

The broader point still remains: when you fail to make it out of your own regional, with all of the resources LSU puts into softball, Torina isn’t meeting the moment.

I’ve asked two posters who are defending her to layout a thoughtful, reason-based assessment why she should be retained, and they cannot. One provided the ole, “we’ll be better next year” and the other provided some appeal to his/her own alleged authority, but then only went on the attack against others and would not/could not provide specifics.

I think Torina should be let go. But I’m open to hearing specifically why she should be retained. If someone can provide a cogent set of reasons why, I really want to hear it.

Her name is too hard to spell like Maineiri she has to go.

No it’s about being competitive and putting a good product on the field.

Edit: had to add, a coach that motivate their players.

Yes, because they would understand that LSU will give them the resources to make the World Series at least once every 3 to 4 years.

We don't want a "scared to be fired" coach because that kind of coach will probably only get you to regionals.

Bottom line, if Scott would have just let her go to Auburn a few years back, we would still be playing and Auburn would have lost last night.

Instead, he gives her a raise and now she knows she set for at least a few more years. I can't believe she is coaching a travel team as a Div. 1 head coach. That shows that she is not determined to get better.

I guarantee other div 1 coaches are doing a lot more for their college teams to make them better in the off season, instead of traveling around with 10 U or 12 U teams.

I just watched the press conference and I'll confidently say this: anyone hoping she's fired is delusional. Beth looked like it was just another day


Her point was noted losing most of last year's team, but is the 2025 class that good anyway? I know the hype is around the 2026 class. Also I wonder how much longer she can sell a bill of goods to transfers. It's going to be an interesting off-season for Torina, but I have no expectations.

We will have a mass exit of players if she’s retained.

Need berzon to come back dominate again.

Since they took down my topic.

Here is a reason to fire BT without having to pay her.

She let her assistant coach Lindsey Leftwich sleep with and have relationship with then a current player.

Juat look into the relationship between Ali Newland and Lindsey Leftwich
