I think if we don't get a hitting coach in softball, He may be looking in that direction! Is there another coach that is falling behind? I had followed Softball for years instead of Baseball but Scott has me tied to my TV in every sport LSU.

He should’ve saved money and just gotten a volunteer

That would be dumb.

The softball program is well above an acceptable level.

Beth Torina is one of the few good contributions that Alleva made, I'll trust her judgment.

But remember, his original hire ran back to Bama after the press conference. What a train wreck. Glad Alleva is gone

I still don't know why we hired him after the Duke lacrosse incident. But we have Woodward now

He doesn't know how. He can only overspend and overpay.

Bjorn, It is unclear what the "WTF" suggests... Are you saying I can only watch the sport you do, with my 13 grand daughters?

Torina has established LSU as a Top 10 program in softball and brought them to more WCWS than all other LSU coaches combined. If he could pry away the coach at Oklahoma, Alabama, Florida, Florida St or Michigan like he did with Kim Mulkey that would make sense. Otherwise, I don’t necessarily see the need to make a move.

Torina has LSU as a top 15 program ever year. They need to elevate the hitting though to ever win a SEC championship and to make runs to OKC more often.

Torina is fine but there should probably be increased pressure on Dobson for some of the hitting issues.

I think you know what it means.

Also, it’s possible to follow two sports.

Yes, certainly there are limitations in the program that keep them from being at Florida and Alabama’s level. I don’t know enough about softball to know how much is lack of player development vs. not having a natural recruiting base to attract top hitting prospects. This may be the ceiling for the program absent hiring a Top 5 coach.

The "I demand excellence" softball fans amuse me.

It's usually a lot better than that
