I know a lot of you are gonna say they are completely different because Sully won a championship 2 years ago, but they are in a much worse situation then we are with 10 SEC wins and hanging on to to their NCAA hopes.

Personally, I think mainieri deserves a couple years to develop the special arms Cain recruited and worry about his job 2 or 3 years down the line if things get this bad again. See what he can do with this talent before we start talking about firing him.

Less recruited special talent too. He is not developing it any longer. The man has lost his fire and the program has lost it's mystique. Time for a change.

They are special alright

Back to point of OP
I’m sure there’s plenty of bitching, LSU fans just take it to another level

I do not think he needs to be fired but I think his support staff needs some adjustments

Florida fans barely give a shite about their baseball program. Your typical UF fan prob couldn’t name 3 players off that championship winning team from a few years ago. An elite athletic school with a god awful fanbase.

I can definitely agree to this sentiment. If Paul is not gonna step up to fire up his team then find somebody on the support staff that will. As we’ve said before on this board Paul gets yes men. He needs to get assistants that give a damn and will not take shite from their head coach if they think something is wrong or right

The thing is, is that we are in a completely different situation. Florida, by most people and not including many polls, was expected to have a down year. A lot of excellent players were drafted, far more than LSU. Two first round pitchers. They replaced their entire rotation with either weekday starters or bullpen arms. They’re expected to do so much better in the upcoming seasons and there’s a lot of reason to believe that it will happen.

Mainieri has literally the opposite situation. A combination of the number one recruiting class as well as almost all of his players returning. Sure, pitching injuries have done a number on the team, but we should not even be close to this bad. Our hitters have also done so little compared to prior seasons. Daniel Cabrera flashed so much talent to hit any ball to any part of the field but we had no one to develop him, so he’s stuck in the .290s, which by no stretch of the imagination is bad, but he should be hitting at least .320 at this point. The hitters have not been clutch at any point and the defense has been lackluster to say the least, especially the last few games.

A trusted insider on 247 even said that he’d talked to players’ parents, and that to say he lost the team would be an understatement. He’s been bashing players even more lately, never taking accountability. Players notice that, recruits notice it. Mainieri raised this program but if he continues to put no effort into any hire or development, he will put it into the ground. The game has simply passed him up.

That’s because we are LSU and they are not. They won a national title for the first time in school history two years ago. We have been one of the best baseball programs in the country for the last 30 years.

With that comes with a little responsibility. Don’t get mushroom stamped by Arkansas. Don’t lose to Ole Miss. They never beat us in the series. Don’t go .500 against in state schools then get absolutely embarrassed at home to Louisiana Tech.

Not saying this isn’t true but do you have a link?

It was premium, so I can’t, sorry. It wasn’t one of the people that run the forums but it was a user who brings a lot of info about the football team.

Preseason polls obviously don’t mean much (see: LSU) but I’m pretty sure they were ranked top 5 top 10

And as far as bashing, I mean to the media, not to them as far as I know, sorry if I didn’t make that clear.

That’s true, I believe they were ranked 4, but they did lose a huge amount of their players to the early rounds of the draft. Not to say their expectations were completely unfounded, but even a gator following friend of mine said that he expected them to have a year similar to LSU’s last year.

Had LSU won the CWS last year or not have been shutout by FL in what, 2016... I wouldn't be as ready to fire him as I am right now.

But, will CPM fire coaches like Dunn or Cain to save his job? Les couldn't and he paid the price.

Floridians fans don’t care about baseball one way or the other

They made it to omaha 4 times in a row. More times than we have since 09 in a 4 year span.

They are in rebuild mode, we aren’t. Post less.
