LSU baseball over the course of the PM tenure has averaged fewer runs/game than Miles' PPG in his tenure using SEC rankings. JJ will be entering his fourth season with an anemic offense and has been mediocre at best.

Yes, but that's only if a certain FB & TE don't get injured and ruin any hopes of an offense.

I'd say, at the moment, Les is LSU's least offensive major coaches. But let's revisit in Nov.

Are people competing for worst post of the year now?

Last I checked media guide, he owns LSU's #1 thru #4 spots for Scoring Offense ('07, '13, '11 and '06).

Didn't you all hear? We are stressing the pass during spring drills.

I can't think of one thing LM is in the top third of that is positive or meaningful.

you have a link for that? LSU baseball has had very productive offenses most years under Mainieri compared to their counterparts. Sure there have been down years, but over his career, we have not struggled offensively

He's majority shareholder of space in your head, but not sure if that's meaningful to you.

Miles is the best but maybe the worst overall. Maineri's job is safest. Johnny Jones is the only one of the three that can do (or not do) what he did with all of that talent and still have a job. The other two would have been canned (imagine Miles losing to A&M in football the way JJ did in hoops...that halftime meeting never happens). Maineri, aside from 2009, has done nothing much short of win a few SEC tournaments and faded out in Omaha. He, however, got a lot of mileage from those 2008-09 seasons.

It's a weird world.

His team scored 56 in their last game while Johnny's only scored 38. That says a lot.

What do all of those seasons have in common? A junior or senior QB that the coaching staff trusted. Except for '07(5th year senior) the qb's were going into their 2nd or 3rd year starting. Sounds like a lot in common with the guy that will be under center this year.

I was ok either way with Les leaving last year, but he won the last two games and had a great class when all the "distractions" had to have an impact. The players past and current love him, something I cannot say about the other two.

I'm thinking Les is the best head coach fairly easily among the big three. Staff, talent, and as a rep for LSU, I don't see the other two that close, especially one of them.
