re: JJ is best HC we had had

Who the freak minimized skip?

It’s going to be tough for anyone to surpass Skip’s legacy in the sport—just like it was nearly impossible to top Bear Bryant in College Football until Saban rewrote the script at Bama starting in ’07.

If Jay keeps this momentum and ends up with five championships during his tenure, then we can start having the conversation about him overtaking Skip. But for now, that conversation feels way too early.

I don’t think there is an intent to knock Skip. Lord, there is no LSU baseball and legacy without the immeasurable impact of Skip Bertman. 40+ years after his arrival, this program remains competitive at the highest level. He is foundational
as the architect of greatness.

College baseball is more competitive today, greater parity and the portal makes it a year round job. In that environment Jay Johnson is one of the best operators and is working to build on the record of success and championships.

that makes it harder in Jays predicament in my opinion. I do not put him on skips level just yet though, however if he rattles off 5 national championships in 10 years like skip did then yeah, Jays in a HoF top tier. It’d be like Saban going to Bama and surpassing bear, something you never thought could be done

Skip built the program. There's a reason kids like Curiel want to come from Cali to play here even once the money leveled the playing field. In Skip's time, most schools were playing with who they had in state outside of a few players. Now you can pay Bear to come to LSU vs playing for Georgia

Please, for the love of God, slow down on your typing and review what you have typed because most of it makes zero sense.

Good you already spent too much time posting idiotic takes as it is.

Absolutely I’m not shitting on Skips legacy either, just noting that rattling off nattys in mid-2020s is tougher than in the early 90s when college baseball wasn’t what it is today. LSU is what it is because of Skip regardless what Jay accomplishes but there’s a lot more investment in the sport today than there was back then which makes the competition level higher and tougher to rattle off titles.

Like I said I wouldn’t put him on Skip’s level yet but has the potential to get there if he continues to make it to Omaha at least 50% of the time and bring in a title every few years

my point being that Jay’s competing daily on bringing these guys to lsu rather than going elsewhere. Back in the day you could just do it with homegrown talent without having to compete for these kids

ETA Jay skips family weddings to make recruiting trips. You gotta appreciate the devotion to LSU. Skip was the best coach in the sport in his time, I’d say Jay is the best available today. Glad he’s on our side. The Powerhouse is in great hands
