You obviously have little idea of what you speak and absolutely no personal knowlege of the man himself. You could not be more wrong.
Some of his coaching decisions have been questionable this year and I think he has the very common problem of being a poor manager of his assistants (like Miles, et al) but he is not guilty of the charges you profess.

No one should be sticking up for this clown.
yep, comparing war to college baseball and p.m. is the clown.

It's about leadership, not war vs. baseball. A true leader doesn't blame his troops, employees, players, or whomever else he leads when things go wrong. It is the opposite of good leadership.

Aside from the silliness of comparing college baseball to war, I'd like to point out one simple fact:
Eisenhower was a 5-star general. I can promise you that he knew who virtually none of his sergeants or lieutenants were.
Dolt.

Yeah. That's exactly what I did, jackasses. I wrote "war is just like baseball, therefore I don't like Mainieri."
Try to understand the point of my post before responding.

Agreed, but I think it would have been better if he'd said made this admission to a meeting of major TAF donors rather than to the general public.
it really doesn't matter what or how he says anything. someone on here will not like it and bitch about it.
in one calendar year, Miles, trent, paul, joe, and van have received request to be fired by the rant.
If the rant ran lsu, it would fire the entire athletic department every year. lsu would be the best athletic program in the country for it!

Where did you come up with that? Did you make it up on the spot? Oh man, what a sick burn! I am properly chastised and will go away now. Just don't burn me with a "csb." I don't think I could handle that.

I think it makes a difference, to me at least, whether or not he just came out and said this or if he was asked a question.

i'm sure you know more about leadership/coaching than paul m.!
3 c.w.s. a nation title for p.m. to Prodigal Tiger ZERO. i didn't see where he "blamed" his players. he stated what the issue was and he said it was fault. otherwise, he recognizes the problem and has a plan is to fix it.
maybe that isn't leadership. i rather a guy who knows what to do than one that doesn't. he's been at the top and knows how to get there.

i have said cpm is chicken dik for a while now. and have been mocked for it.
you just dont do these things publicly. any coach with his experience should know better.

Perhaps I should have typed out ... Are you angry ?
The way you are responding to people who are challenging your posts is a bit over the top. Was I intending it as a 'burn' ? No. I think that is usually done with one of the countless images folks use on here. It was a question, one which you have most certainly answered with yet another over-the-top response.

PM comes out and is honest and accepts responsibility. If he would've been all rainbows and unicorns y'all would be claiming the team has naked pics of him. There's no winning with rantards
This x a gazillion.
You could be dealing with MB.
"Well, you have to give credit to the other team. They just played better than us/they just wanted it more/they didn't make errors/they are better looking/they have bigger dicks/they sleep with hotter women/they do longer lines of blow/they tan at least 3 times a week/they spend more time on message boards, etc."
If our coach spends another single fricking second praising another mediocre SECW team for simply being BETTER than his team and essentially saying that there was nothing we could do to win that/those games, I'm going to tear out his larynx, feed it to my dog, scoop up his larynx shite and cram it down his fricking throat.
LSU rantards are the most ridiculous, ignorant, juvenile assholes on the web.
The man gave an honest opinion of the talent level of your baseball team and then IMMEDIATELY took responsibility for that lack of talent. LSU fans have been bitching and complaining (and rightly so) for months about this team "under achieving" and your coach finally comes out and says they aren't under achieving, they are playing as well as they can and the answer is to recruit even better talent in the future to get back on track.
At least the son-of-a-bitch KNOWS and ACKNOWLEDGES the problems instead of continuing down the toilet bowl saying the same shite, over and over.
I want to choke the sense back into all of you one by one.

at least he's telling the truth
Posted on 5/10/11 at 9:43 am to Enfuego
But a few weeks ago he was saying we were right there and just had to learn how to win close games. Now he says we just aren't good enough...I disagree. I still think we are good enough to compete but after saying this it seems to me like he has given up

If you teach an employee to cook fries. Then that employee gets nervous and forgets to cook fries when you asked him to do so, are you going to tell the manager that YOU screwed up the fries? Or are you going to ask the manager to get you an employee who won't forget to cook fries when you ask him to do so?

Mainieri is 100% correct on both of these statements:
1. This team is not as talented as his prior teams.
2. The blame lies with Mainieri.
I applaud him for accepting responsibility for the talent deficiency. He recruited these players and admitted it's his fault ultimately.
However, he should not have said #1 in the public domain.
