It’s incredibly hard to win a title. What jay did last year piecing together the wins in Omaha was unreal. Beating wake in the walkoff game was one of the greatest games I’ve ever watched.

Wow, LSU wins a couple of baseball games and the Pump Nut Cheerleaders are all up in here giddy with delight and banging each other dry without their Agricultural & Mechanical lube of choice.

Jay is relentless. His work ethic PLUS bigtime NIL will keep LSU in contention most years.

He built the program first of all. Last year made supers, 2 wins away from Omaha and lost to the champs.

This year has won co-sec champs and is a lock for a national seed.

Sure, he hasn’t really won anything yet, but doing it at Kentucky and seeing the consistency from last year to this year is impressive, to say the least.

Would everyone be saying this if he would have lost to Georgia and we wouldn’t have done enough to get into the tournament?

Hopefully we fire him after winning back to back National Championship...that's the only way to make LSU Fans happy.

Then hire that next Coach mentioned in Ryno's thread.

What most of our baseball “fans” don’t understand is that we had holes in our lineup at the beginning of the season. We still do in CF. We started a FR at 2nd that needed time to get comfortable with SEC pitching. It’s impressive he’s done as well as he has this year. Then we had an issue at our corner OF position and it took time to find Larson. Then a couple of our vets started slow which all contributed to a bad first half against a really tough font loaded SEC schedule.

Then of course you have Hurd being Hurd and you have no shot in a game 3. All in all, Jay did a good job to keep them all from throwing in the towel.

I agree he's a top 5 coach easily and perhaps #1.

That said, half of our fanbase will want him fired the next time we're behind in a game.

That's the thing that most people don't recognize about Jay...the smart little things.

Like when facing a team coached by last years pitching coach you have a 1st year guy come in and shove for 7 innings!

Jump was always the right choice but Jay also knew that Wes had the book on most of the remaining staff!

Smart little things!

His dugout has the most "softball chants" and gimmicks in the entire league...so there's that!

Unless we lose today and then he is on the hot seat. Did I rant right?
