Good. This exact staff won a title in '25 and all but the pitching coach and strength coach won a title in '23.

We've played in 5 championship series games under Jay and have gone 4-1. We haven't had Skenes in any of those games

Those pitching staffs were light years better than what is on the current staff. Comparing Apples to Oranges. Go find 5 more Anderson/Eyasons then.

Why 5? in 2023 we only had one Skenes. In 2025 we only had 2 Eyanson/Anderson.

In fact, we relied heavily upon 3 of the guys (who excelled) who were on the "light years behind" pitching staff this year during our 2025 championship run.

Do you think Ty Floyd and Thatcher Hurd were "light years" better than Schmidt/Moore/Evans?

You don't need 15 pitchers. You don't need to go get 3 top flight starters, and I can guarantee you we're not going to do that.

You need a little progression, 1-2 really good portal arms, and then strike throwers.

He had no choice. Nobody is signing up to coach on his sinking ship.

He will be fired next year after LSU finishes in the bottom half of the SEC again. And if he’s not, hopefully all NIL funding at the very least is pulled

Several of the same pitchers responsible for those wins in 2025 were on this very staff.

No one engage. This guy is a pedophile. He didn't see anything wrong with (and actually defended) Wander Franco sexually assaulting a 14 year old because "they were dating."

To be clear, these were the posts:
quote:

Victimless crime
^ That is about Wander Franco sexaully assaulting an 8th grade aged girl.
quote:

Can’t assault someone that consents and is literally the guy’s girlfriend for over a year
quote:

And yes, 14 year olds have sex a lot in Latin American countries. . Most have 2 kids by the time they are 20. I’m not outraged. I mean it’s basic civilization for 5,000 years
According to JoeyP, it's okay for 8th graders to frick 19 year olds because the Aztecs did it.

Still wouldn't surprise me if Jordan ends up getting a head coaching job.

Not being argumentative, but let's ask the hard questions:
1) IF, IF '27 is the same as '26, what then?
2) Why does someone think '27 will be significantly better than '26?

I like Jay. Heck, I would consider myself a Jay loyalist. He likes data. I like data (engineer). But if the data shows he's trending way worse than CPM, then what?

The coaches keep telling you it's a year to year thing for rosters and players but if you're a pitching coach and produce the worst pitching staff in modern school history you can always fall back on last year.

They'll just say 2/5 is an insane number of titles in modern CBB which is true but that doesn't mean anything moving forward.

You know, since it is coming up on the big 30 this year, the 1996 roster had Eddy Furniss, Warren Morris and Jason Williams in the same infield at times.

Yarnall, Coogan and Laxton were on the staff. Just insane in hindsight when one considers it might have been Skip's 3rd best team to win it all.



(In all seriousness, just 1 Skenes would be nice, right?)
