re: Hypothetical: What degree of credit would PM deserve if 2022 LSU dogpiles in Omaha?

He deserves some credit even if at minimum for deciding to step away and let someone else lead the team. He could have easily chosen to coach another year if he wanted. Contrary to what the rant thinks Woodward was not fire CPM after this season.

Recruiting was part of his job decription. He deserves his paycheck which he earned. It's not his team anymore. He's a fan now and he'll celebrate like the rest of us. I'll make sure to chest bump him if we go to Omaha, for you.

I will take the 2022 opening day roster and give Mainieri the percentage of players that he recruited.

Then take 50 percent of Recruitment's development for 2022 season.

so if a 35 man roster exists opening day and 20 players are still around from Mainieri, I will give paul 57 percent credit. Then, development will be split between Mainieri and Jay Johnson.

2022 wins SEC, SEC Tourney, Or makes Omaha: Mainieri will get (.57)* (.50) = 29 % credit for post season accomplishments.

0.0 since none of Smokes players were on the roster.

Deserves a lot more than he will receive.

Dear god let Pawl go. Only thing Pawl will receive if we win it all is a damn good laughing at because he couldn’t do it in 13 years.

ALL - because he retired

I will definitely give Paul credit. He and the staff did a nice job of putting the roster in a position to succeed quickly. With that said, and it remains to be seen how it truly plays out, Johnson will deserve all of the credit for re-recruiting vets, working the commits, working the portal/juco ranks, developing, adjusting, and pretty much everything else that goes into winning a 'ship.

So, basically, thanks to Paul and his staff for not leaving the program in shambles. Thanks to Johnson for grabbing the bull by the horns and running with it. We are still 0-0 with 0 'ships under Jay Johnson, though. Time will truly tell.

Zero point zero

No credit whatsoever.
