He is not doing a good enough job to LSU baseball standards, but I don’t think firing him mid season would be the best move. Especially for recruiting. I think at the end of the year Woodward should give him the option the retire or leave on his own terms, and if he refuses then he should be fired. It’s just not a good look for a program to fire a respected coach. So I think we should everything we can to avoid firing him, but I do agree he needs to go.

Let me know what y’all think the best option for the program is. I’m interested to hear

Personally I think the whole Texas job was a ploy to get more money. I’ve been done with him.

I don't think anyone actually believes he'd be fired mid-season regardless of how many games the team loses. Absent a situation for firing him for cause, there is a 0% chance that happens.

It all depends on SEC and postseason.

- Make Omaha, he's safe
- Win the SEC regular season title, he's safe
- Bounce out in the supers after not winning the SEC, he's on the hot seat next season
- anything less than a super this year should be a forced retirement.

Texas actually met with and offered Mainieri. It may have still been a ploy by him to agree to meet with Texas to put pressure on Alleva for a raise, but this wasn't a situation like Miles with Arkansas

If that's the reason you're done with him, then you will never like a coach ever.

Literally every agent does this.

With how uninspired the team looks I doubt he can make it to the supers, but I really hope he can turn that around.

I am all for letting him figure it out, or coach the rest of the season then we go in a different direction. I am tired of the bullshite excuses and attitude he has, which trickles down to our players and makes them weak.

I'd be okay with losing if he wouldnt be a bitch about it.

Mainieri has a (.601) winning pct over the past 143 games. He either gets the bus back on the road rolling or he gets his shite rolled over. Tired of the childish excuses he comes up with every season. He recruits and instructs. If the players can’t play, Mainieri is to blame.

Do you remember how sluggish last year's team looked to start?

If LSU makes the supers or even Omaha this year, it won't be the first college baseball team to flip a switch out of nowhere midseason and it certainly won't be the last.

Imagine your home town coach blaming the wind or lack of wind for losing a game

He’s not getting fired mid season. Literally no chance.

He’s also not going to walk away. He’d lose like 5 mil of guaranteed money.

Your not gonna wanna hear this but their arms are too good for him to get fired this year. They won’t tank but if he doesn’t make Omaha then he enters next year in a make or break situation.

Yea that is true, and he has a little bit more Lee way because it’s a younger team this year. But at the same time having a young team shouldn’t be a valid excuse for Lsu baseball. Hope he turns it around.

You hardly will ever have a veteran heavy college baseball team. A LOT of things have to go right for that to happen.

11.7 is a dick.

I agree he won’t get fired mid season, but I do think there’s a chance Paul gets fired at the end of the year if the teams continues to struggle

The chances of him being fired mid season is 0%

Even after this season, less than 5%


The program needs to be reinvigorated, just like football had to be. PMs message is stale & the players show it. Hopefully he has a solution because they aren’t firing him. Next year looks even bleaker

LSU is not firing Paul M. anytime this year no matter what happens. It just isn't happening. And a major reason is money. We aren't paying CPM almost $5 mil for not coaching after this season. It just is not being considered.

The earliest time the LSU admin might consider Paul's future is if we have two losing seasons in a row. By "losing" I mean not making the NCAA Ty.

This hasn't happened since the transition from Smoke to Paul and it will never happen again, barring another coaching transition.

You can say a lot of stuff about Paul, but I guarantee you he will never miss the tournament 2 seasons in a row.
