re: Is Paul Retiring??

Not even close, but good try.

AJ hinch is already coaching the Tigers

Tony LaRussa

Credibility would be severely lacking if this is to be believed as the source of this story.

He’s been given a very large check by the BOS and told to get who he wants. So we’ll see what he does with it. Money and promises won’t be a hold up for whomever is picked

Does not appear that way

I hope not.

Going to retire for health reasons is what I was told.

In part, yes. It was very much a compromise situation between he and Woodward on how this will all go down

I think Woodward feels he owes that to Mainari. He’s been very successful coach at LSU up until the last couple of seasons. Two National championship appearances, winning one. Five CWS appearances. 4 SEC championships. 6 SEC tourney championships. He’s nearly a year older right now than Skip was when he stepped down. I think he steps down after this year. He probably loves coaching but he knows it’s time. I just hope Woodward swings for the fences in the next hire.
