2011, 2012, and 2013 were all more than just running the program into the ground. You're very clearly ignorant on just about everything LSU, so there is no point in wasting another second responding to you.

He's going to have to work a lot harder to find a coach for baseball. It seemed that got a lot of no's from people before they hired Mainieri, due the the extremely high expectations, one would assume. If he can get Mainieri to "step down" as Fargas allegedly did, and then find the right guy to lead baseball back to being a power, then I'll believe in him.
Remember, Skip Bertman hired Nick Saban. Also a no-brainer (though we didn't know the guy would go on to win this many titles). But he also hired Smoke Laval and Les Miles. Mainieri was at least successful for a while.

That's not how a search should ever go, unless you have an easy choice waiting for you.

It is the antithesis of how LSU used to operate. Having money helps, but so much more goes into making things like this happen.
You mean like how Pelini was hired without an interview? A coaching search isn't supposed to be fast. It's supposed to be thorough. The problem with LSU coaching searches hasn't been about taking too long, its been about making bad hires, not paying up for better candidates, but overpaying lesser coaches to keep them around, because we're too cheap to go after better (Miles, Mainieri, Orgeron (before the magical 2019 season where evrything fell into place, when absolutely no one was trying to pry him away, they gave him way too much money) Fargas.
The difference this time was they paid up for the right coach. She made it clear she wanted to be here, and that they paid enough to get her away. She's from here. It's not complicated. The only hard part was her decision. It's not easy to walk away from a program you literally built (no NCAA appearances for Baylor before she took over) and won three titles with. Money makes it much easier.

Remembering it doesn't mean it happed. Bertman became AD over a year after Saban was hired.

Mainieri has arguably been no more successful than Les Miles was.

Way too much for WBB. She wont pull in the amount of money needed to justify that spend. Would be better if we cut funding and shut down womens basketball.

Then I don't get how you don't appreciate what Woodward did here.

You assume that the opening was not expected or planned for. This is why you don't appreciate the work that went into this smooth transition.

This is one of the all time greatest bad takes I’ve ever seen on this board.

WOW!
2011 was a great regular season, followed by the most humiliating loss in LSU history.
2012 saw one of the worst offense in recent memory, no impressive victories, a blown chance to beat Alabama, and the legendary brain fart against Clemson.
2013 saw the most talented offense is LSU history up to that point, manage to still lose three games.
THIS is your argument? Those years were the beginning of the fall of LSU football.
You shouldn't respond to me, if that's the best you can do.

Kim Mulkey's deal with #LSU is set to pay Mulkey $2.5 million in year one and will increase to north of $3 million by the end of the deal, which runs through 2028-2029, an LSU official tells @TheAthletic.
Listening to Nick Dias on youtube yesterday and he pointed out in another 5 years Kim will be eligible for her very lucrative retirement package of 20 years with the state of Louisiana, 15 at La Tech, and the package is based on her highest earning years...

Wrong. I assume that it WAS expected. Because it was an obvious move. You always want to check in on people like Mulkey, but the answer is usually "no" unless you have quite an offer ready to make.
And that's what happened. It's great for LSU. It's not a genius move by Woodward. It was an obvious one. The only difference, once again, is that LSU wasn't cheap this time.

You're just an internet loud mouth who doesn't even know what "melt" means. I'm not melting. I'm happy about the hire. My response was to the people who keep saying "Woodward sure showed them". How? He threw a gazillion dollars at Jimbo Fisher, too. That's the best he could do, so he threw the farm at him to get him. He's throwing the farm at Mulkey, too. But she actually is worth it.
He's got a lot more work to do to show that he's all that everyone made him out to be.

A realist, who believes in seeing a body of work, before anointing someone? I'm "that way", because I've been burned enough times to know better. Nobody denies Mulkey is a great hire.
A hire that any one of us would have made if given the chance. I'm reserving my judgement of him until I see him start tackling the rest of our problems. Is that hard to comprehend?

Right, my mistake, it was Joe Dean, just before Skip took over.
Which makes my point just the same. Great hire by Joe. What else did he do? Show me a body of work, and I'll give you credit. Until then, one great hire is one great hire. Alleva hired Will Wade. But he left here as the most reviled person on campus, along with FKA.

LOL, strike 2.
Mark Emmert brought Saban in, Joe Dean had zero to do with it.
