Jay Johnson is in charge of this program and I am grateful he is. I believe that JJ will get this team playing as well as they can by May. What I fear is that the talent on this team is not championship talent nor has it ever been.

Let's just beat Vandy tomorrow. 1-2 is better than 0-3.

I’m arguing that Jay Johnson has earned my trust whether it’s this year or the next to prepare his team to be successful

Jay needs already developed first-third rounders to win (and top 5 overall picks to really win big), the good thing is that he has the resources to land those types from time to time he just needs to do a better job of consistently picking them out of the portal.

They are, but if a coach wins 2 natties in 3 years you give them grace dumbass

So whose fault is it for the evaluation, lineup construction, entitlement and play of this team if not the head coach?

The fault is the guy who won you 2 NCs in 3 years. You gonna say he’s arse when he misses in a year? When Nick Saban missed at Bama did ppl question him?

Why don’t we just throw in Roch Cholowsky while we’re living in fantasy land?

Well Milam is better than him in the field. Did you not see what he did today? Diving catch and a throw out at 3rd for a double play

Where did I say he was arse? We're talking about assigning blame for this team's performance so far. For some reason you don't think he deserves any. Saying he's done a poor job so far this season doesn't mean he didn't do well in 2/3 years before.

You have to crawl on all fours, right?

You say this about Coach Johnson, yet you make every excuse in the book for 4 miserable seasons under CoachMc. Funny stuff.

Pirate King has a history of trashing NC winning coaches and defending losers

Do you seriously think we don’t have private donors or boosters that pay baseball players? These kids aren’t 100% exclusively getting paid through rev share

Jay Johnson isnt Nick Saban. Saban coached in a sport where everyone is 100% in.

Johnson coaches college baseball. Most of the colleges he competes against don’t care at all about baseball which should make it EASY to win at a place like LSU.

Jay Johnson is more Dave Roberts. Given the resources invested in the Dodgers compared to other teams, if Roberts doesn’t get to the NLCS or World Series his seat will get hot it doesn’t matter what he did in the past. Same with Johnson and even Moreso bc Johnson is the GM of the team as well as manager

Jay missed big time in the portal this year. Caraway, Dardar, Simpson are not performing. Stats prove it. Is Pearson hurt, why hasn’t he had at bats since ULL.

This team is eat up with a serious virus. For the first time since Skip Bertman took the reins as coach of LSU baseball, an LSU team is below average, and could finish a season below .500 in the conf. AND overall. To put this team in perspective, it's actually worse at its craft than men's basketball -- that team ranks #61 Kenpom and #77 NET.

Just to be clear, you’re insinuating that he didn’t ‘try’ this year?



Seriously, please answer that. I’m trying to see something
