Skip wouldn’t have recruited or played a pedo

I think people would actually. Especially if it wasn’t at LSU.

Love Skip, probably my favorite person associated with LSU ever.

I'd want Woodward fired if he rehired Skip.

Thinking doesn't seem to be your strong suit. Don't hurt yourself.

What did Belle do in high school to be “embarrassing”?

You know his reputation was out there. Terry was there to calm him down. That’s about it. He was angry errr intense. The guy was a total arse in high school as he was in college and pros.

you know he didn't know this when he recruited him. he found out via clerical error that brought this to light.

i'd suggest you read up about the entire situation before you formulate a judgement on it.

Belle may have been surly, but Skip would have been nuts not to recruit him.

Being an arse and not running balls out when as talented as Belle was is a risk a coach who thinks he can coach it out of him takes. There are tons of college and pro athletes playing today just like Belle

How about ripping the sink out of the dugout? How about that anger? He was a shite piece of work. And no, there were VERY FEW CHEATERS like him. He corked bats, never talked to the anyone.

Skip kicked joey Bell off the team. He would never have played a Pedophile.

Since when is 62 way too old to be a baseball coach? Lol he's not going to be doing physical fricking labor as a head baseball coach. This is just crazy. 62 is not old. Saban and b belichick are both 69 going on 70. There are a good bit of coaches that are in their 60s. This is just dumb. As a coach, age is definitely wisdom and maturity. Especially when we are talking about one of the best baseball coaches in the game.

I would. He’s too old and knew that before he left premature. He had a few more years left but knew he was done.
