re: Mainieri after Duplantis homerun

He didnt look dejected or happy or sad,

He didn't look happy. Think about that

Thats all he was doing

Which is sad. That should had been like #3 or #4 on his list

1 - he could have been banging those hands together in support of what just happened. Nope

2 - he could have went out in front of his players to move them back, AS HE waited to hug or high 5 an ecstatic young batsman. Nope

3 - he could have tracked down to coach up the next batter as to what to expect, now that the game had just flipped. Nope

4 - he could have waved to the LSU fans to get them pumped up even more. Nope

5 - he could have engaged the umpire staff to let them know he was in the process of handling the situation. Nope


instead, he pulled on players, realized they were ignoring him, and simply TURNED HIS BACK on that heroic moment. As to not even acknowlede its immediate impact.

Odd, very odd

I dont see it as turning his back, i see it as him going back to the dugout to decide on how to manage the pitching situation for the 8th and 9th

Are you insinuating he was purposefully sad?
Have you ever seen mainieri looking happy during a game? Does saban usually look happy? Im not sure of your point here

---

I'm saying hes lost all passion.

He's not Saban. He hasn't always been like this.

You have to remember that Louisiana is at the bottom of the barrel when it comes to its education. Majority of posters on this board are from Louisiana. So, the board is heavily populated by pretty dumb people.

Ahhh yessss! The dumbass who woke up years later saying”what happened to our football program?” is now giving advice.

Get over yourself.

The umpires understand emotion and circumstance. He clearly was positioned to stop the forward progress of the players.

It would have been nice to see our head coach with a better understanding of the moment.

1 - he could have been banging those hands together in support of what just happened. Nope

Saban would have been doing the most important thing to achieve victory. THAT’s what I want our coaches doing.

Mainieri is being criticized for coaching like Saban, which is stupid. He does not have the results Saban has, and THAT is what he should be criticized for.

Pretty obvious you are above the majority of LSU fans which begs the question,what the frick are you doing being part of a base that is beneath you?

Above the majority of LSU fans? Absolutely not.


Above your dumb arse? Absolutely.

This thread is hilarious to me. There are so many legitimate things to criticize Mainieri for but these numb nuts decide to take up their pitchforks because of things like this and facial expressions Mainieri has in 5 second clips of him sitting in the dugout during a 3 hour game

---

Yep.

In all reality Mainieri was probably happy about the home run, and was reminding his players about some dumb rule. In the back of his mind he was probably thinking, "My pen has struggled in the back end of games. How the hell am I going to hold on to this one?" You know, he was coaching (which all these people are saying he should be doing).

If Mainieri would have celebrated and LSU would have blown the lead the talking point would be how he celebrated instead of worried about finishing off the game.

These people are sad, pathetic, and down right stupid.
