re: If LSU is a premier baseball program

Dean was never more than a grad assistant here and took over a really bad UNO program. A little different than giving someone like him the hitting coach at LSU... at least it used to be. I wasn't a really fan of either hire tbh. It's become apparent the offensive approach is PM's and the hitting coach does very little in making adjustments mid game or otherwise. For years the most improvement/changes our hitters have seen is when the go play summer ball.
ETA: PM has even been quoted that a hitting coach is pointless.

Why go to that well when you don't have to?

I cant speak for PM. I know Gibbs played 6 years in the minors. I know he's been giving private lessons in the offseason for a few years now. I know he's been around the program the last few years. My guess is PM felt safe with his contributions to the program and knowledge from his playing days.
and again, it was November when AC took the MSU job. The season started in Febuary. It was a timing thing more than anything.

He could've found 5000 high school coaches better than Gibbs to take the job. PM has done an infinite amount of dumb things as coach but hiring Gibbs might take the cake.

Im not really talking about what Dean did here at LSU, more so him turning UNO around given his age(27) and having no major coaching experience outside of his 1 or 2 years at UNO under Maestri.

He definitely proved me wrong so far. He's done very well from where it was. He's pulling in some guys and he's done well with both young and experienced teams. It's looking like they'll only get better. But the point everyone is trying to make that LSU isn't typically the kind of program to give someone like him a chance unless he does have the kind of experience he is getting. That's all.

That's pretty much my point ell

it became official Nov 5th. and had just started being rumored around Nov 3rd. Regardless if it was the last week of Oct or nov, it was a timing thing more then anything. Coaches dont leave school in November. Could you imagine Matt Canada taking a job this July before LSU football starts? I couldnt, because that shite rarely happens in any sport

same scenario. How many high school coaches are going to abandon their jobs in November with the season on the horizon? maybe 1 or 2 pieces of shite, yea. It's not even a fair situation to put a coach in

My point was only that guys PM has hired don't typically have experience to begin with and that the approach has changed very little, only the types of hitters. PM still likes being aggressive. He still makes non-percentage calls early in the game. I'm not really sure he gives the hitting coach much room to do anything.

LSU will have a new hitting coach for next season. Gibbs was a one year stop gap from the beginning. CPM tried to spin the hire as much as possible. A hitting coach can be a good asset but it's not as important as a good pitching coach. A hitting coach can say all he wants but he's not involved in every pitch like a pitching coach is. The hitters have to go up there and execute. This team misses Cannizaro's huddles between innings. I always thought he did them at the right time when he noticed the team was pressing. That is where the asset of hitting coach can be.

That money in the budget went to lining Paul's pockets with a 50% raise

I don't even think that's what those meetings were about. Cannizzaro even said that he would mainly just let them talk to each other. It just seemed to always calm them down.
Kramer is pressing big time. He might need to be moved down in the lineup or even sit a game. Deichmann is letting the walks get to him. He watched a hittable pitch on strike three with a man on. If you are gonna be that guy when you do get a pitch to hit you can't miss it. Slaughter probably could sit and watch a game also. Watson doesn't look comfortable at the plate at times. It is time for a major shake up. I don't even know what it is but someone on the bench needs to be given a shot. Romero Reid Woley status quo is not working. Still time to turn it around if you push the right buttons.
