re: Jay Johnson is not the best coach in College Baseball

My issue with Johnson is he is to analytical. It’s not hard to coach when your every decision is based on what the analytics tell you to do it.
I want him to coach a lil more by gut.

Same.
Analytics are awesome, but good coaches need baseball instinct. Otherwise you could hire a CPA to manage your team.

He's the 2nd best coach we've ever had
So second to one of the greatest coaches in college baseball history? Has anyone suggested he was better than Skip?

We end the season with an SEC average that if were a breathalyzer test wouldn't get us a DUI
If we lose today, we will have a .300. Where do you live that a .30 BAC will not get you a DUI? It will typically get you a trip to the hospital because you are in the range of alcohol poisoning.

no hope or any bright spot to look at for next season.
Listen, ma'am, baseball is probably not the game for such an emotional woman. I'd advise avoiding sports altogether.

Is that an automatic given though in this era?
Nothing is automatic in any era. In the portal/NIL era, the possibility of rehabilitating a team is significantly higher than in past eras. If you miss, it looks like this season. So you evaluate what went wrong and proceed accordingly.

this season can't just be buried under the rug and forgotten.
No one agrees with this sentiment more than Jay Johnson.

Nice breakdown.
What's wrong with these dudes Dom?
Crazy to see them hating on THE BEST collegiate baseball coach in the country from their mom's basement.

Agree. Something is different about this season. Something is off. I don’t think this is an outlier.

I'm not convinced most of them are dudes. I am convinced few of them actually played a competitive sport anywhere other than PE when they were forced to.
It's the burden we bear here, Saint.

Texas A&M, a worse baseball program with worse fan support, facilities, coaches, donor support, and roster, had the same season last year.
At least A&M had an excuse for the bad season with Schloss abandoning them right after the CWS and leaving the program scrambling to find replacement and maintain roster.
A&M was also competitive in most games they played and not getting run ruled all the time or getting swept every weekend. They even won a series vs #2 LSU, where as we have been bad against all of the upper echelon SEC teams, this season.
This isn’t a program ending season by any means, but it’s the type of season that has exhausted a lot of the goodwill Jay had built up and things could go off the rails quickly next season if there are some bad early season losses or a slow start to SEC play.

can you be more specific and cite some examples of what you mean by "too analytical"?
Posted on 5/16/26 at 8:12 am to Korali
The problem you're going to have is that everyone you name who is better in your mind isn't going to have a near his resume.
Posted on 5/16/26 at 8:15 am to Korali
Correct, he’s not just the best coach in baseball. He’s hands down the best coach in baseball since Skip retired.

Missouri swept them at home. Missouri’s only three conference wins of the season.

And lost the series to lsu the season before on their way to the CWS final. So basically your point means jack shite. Goddamn I wish you people knew anything about baseball.

The original point I was countering was that 2025 A&M was just as bad as 2026 LSU and that’s just not true.

This is where I land. JJ used his mulligan in spectacular fashion.
The 2 natty narrative rings hollow if next season becomes a repeat of 2026, where the narrative only gets louder JJ can only win with top 5 draft pitchers.
It’s regional or out for him next year at a place like LSU. Patience is already wearing thin based on people in the stands this season. Concession revenues are getting destroyed.

Some of you dont deserve a program like lsu baseball

Your point is you don’t know baseball. 2025 atm was preseason #1 and picked by just about everyone including them to win everything last year. 2025 atm had a shite ton of returning talent largely made up of their core performers. 2025 atm came out the gate getting their arse handed to them. 2026 LSU was not consensus #1, had a mass exodus of core players, had plenty of concern by anyone who knows anything about baseball and set the world on fire to start the season. So you are right they are not the same. Objectively 2026 lsu is better.
