Let me get this straight; you think it was a bad thing for the HC to first, try and corral his players so we don’t get anyone ejected (and likely suspended during the auburn series) and then second, confer with the pitching coach as to how we want to handle the remaining 6 outs now that we’ve taken a 1 run lead (which all happened within a matter of minutes, mind you)?
Yes. He either coaches, or doesn't coach enough. He either cares too much, or doesn't care at all. Every decision he makes it wrong, until it isn't, in which case we don't talk about it. If it turns out to be wrong, then we come out with pitch forks.
Didn't you know that he was dumb for leaving Peterson in, and not bringing in Fontenot? I didn't either, but you didn't hear this only because it worked. If it wouldn't have, he would have been the dumbest coach ever because he didn't put Fontenot in.

Your second tweet clearly said he was IN the bullpen, but was not warming up. Which suggests he was told way before the homerun was hit, to head out there
Nice try, tho

You actually just made it worse for PM. Instead of immediately doing what you claim he was doing, he's on camera going out to corral his players

You really don't think that this is a more logical explination??
1- Duplantis hits a 3 run jack, giving LSU the lead.
2- players exit the dug out in excitement.
3- CPM is also pleased with the result, but knows there is a rule that states players can not leave the dug out area.
4- CPM goes out and reminds players of this rule (you see a few of them back up into the "dirt" area).
5- CPM heads back to the dug out, realizing he still needs to coach this team to a victory.
6- CPM sends Fontenot to the pen to warm up, in case he is needed. Or goes back in to discuss the next pitching move, if Fontenot was already out there.

Well, if it wasn't such a half-assed effort at corralling then maybe.
Plus the fact that the 2nd player he contacted wasn't even on the grass. He gave up awful quickly if he was as concerned as you think he was. And he didn't even bother to corral those that were the farthest out, and most likely to be reprimanded.

Dude give it up. You hate CPM. That's fine. There is plenty of things to legitimately rag on him for. This isn't one. Find a better talking point and try again in another thread. You are making yourself look like a fool.

Well maybe he should have put more effort into that, huh?
Which is what people have been starting to question, the amount of effort that seems to be lacking? Thanks for confirming that you noticed it too. All of 20 seconds worth of effort.

Did the results end with LSU being punished for the celebration in any way? No, they did not. So wouldn't that suggest that his efforts may have been successful?

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. OP thinks Mainieri was doing too much to stifle the celebration. You think he wasn't doing enough. I love this thread.

I can’t see what the penalty for doing it is but the rule is the players and coaches in the dugout are not allowed to be beyond the warning track area by the dugout. Roughly 15 feet.
Mainieri was doing his job of making sure the players didn’t break that rule. He didn’t ask them to go to the dugout he just asked them to back up so they wouldn’t get some type of penalty.
There are plenty reasons to complain about CPM that I will listen to people argue about but this one is a stretch.

You can't read.

Devin Fontenot went out to the bullpen, but is not yet throwing
Went is past tense, meaning already occurred. He has to BE IN the bullpen for the writer to have noticed that he's not yet throwing. Obviously he's been just sitting for a bit, rather than warming up. During the time the write noticed he WAS IN the bullpen, just sitting, and then decide to type the tweet

The thing I saw about the video of the Duplantis home run is at the very end when the video has completely stopped..... look at the Arkansas fans in the background, not a single little piggy was cheering. Priceless.
The Mainieri reaction is like making a mountain out of a mole hill.
Go Tigers.

You question his lack of effort by pointing out his effort.

Y’all are REALLY worked up about this. I’m telling you how I interpreted what I saw. I never thought this would get past 10 comments. It was just an interesting scenario that I noticed. The funny thing is if y’all would just stop responding this thread would die, instead it has almost 400 upvotes 
There are certain facts that are undeniable. He grabbed (or tapped if that makes you feel better) two players. They didn’t show any significant change in their behavior and he walked back to the dugout alone.
Period. None of that is a lie.
The rest is speculation. Even your thoughts on what was said and what mainieri was doing by walking back to the dugout

They stepped back, that is a fact. So i would infer that they listened to their coach

You can't comprehend.
However, take solace in 400 football fans totally agree with you.
