Dude can have a 15-20 year career here if he wants.
We can atleast get 3 more nattys in that time.

I certainly don’t need any more proof that this man can coach baseball. It’s such a fine line between success and failure most of the time.
Anomalous problems with walks, wild pitches, HBPs, and errors, but this team has been competitive. I have enjoyed watching every game, disappointed with the outcome more than usual but still a very strong brand of baseball.

quote:This is what a lot of people don't understand. The margins of error are so, so slim in the SEC. Look at game 2 against Tennessee. One Zach Yorke error cost 3 runs and we lose 4-1. The OU series where one Jack Ruckert error cost you 3 runs and we lose by 2.
Anomalous problems with walks, wild pitches, HBPs, and errors, but this team has been competitive.
Of our 17 losses, I think 8 or 9 were by 3 runs or less. Most of those by 1 or 2 runs. Team was both very close to being a top 10 team in the country and very far at the same time. obviously towards the end, pitching let you down, but to act like the entire program needs to be blown up and restarted from scratch is just dumb.

I think JJ is one of the best in the nation, and I also think he is terribly embarrassed with the way his team played in every part of the game this year. He appeared to continue to try to keep the players engaged and build their confidence, but nothing seemed to fire anyone up to perform at a higher level.
I don't necessarily blame JJ for the team this year. I think as the team continued to play poorly, he started making some pitching/substitution decisions to try to get the team out its funk. We had hopes that that small streak around the SC series , where he started playing younger guys and the play seemed to improve, was going to continue. However, it didn't and some of his decisions under pressure just fell short. It is hard to recall where any decision, like a PH or pitching change, actually sparked the team on to a victory....throughout the entire season. This was just a bad season of just about everything on the team, and the result is that a great program was embarassed. Now, JJ has to figure out how to revive this seemingly sinking ship. It should be interesting, as all LSU main sports are going through the exact same thing. Now it is JJ's turn.
Hint - get a real pitching coach on staff and a hitting coach....I personally would love to see Ben McDonald and Todd Walker (.396 lifetime BA at LSU) at a minimum work with our players in this next off season. Just a dream, I know, but I know both could be a great asset to LSU baseball at this point in time.

Out of the major sports, baseball is the one that is (imo) more mental than physical. In football and basketball the team can outphysical their opponents if there is a mental issue. In baseball, the physical is still important- you need to be able to hit the ball hard enough, run fast enough to beat the throw or to get to the ball to catch it, etc., but the mental is much more prominent in the game.
This year’s teams issues were primarily mental. You could see they had the talent to beat anyone at times, but it never clicked in a way that led to sustained success. Jay will flush this season and next year will be better.
