Disagree. Unless every pitching issue that is 50/50 goes LSU's way, I don't see that at all.

meh. He deserves some criticism. There are some real issues that need to be addressed. And, they are issues we've seen before (hitting coach, baserunning, etc.) These issues aren't fixed because Mainieri either doesn't know how to fix them, or doesn't want to.

Well, and I mean this as politely as I possibly can, you are a fricking idiot if you think this.
It is very possible to lose a ton in baseball and get to the CWS. It really all depends on how the team gels. We are also getting a ton back.

Paul Mainieri is Smoke Laval with a game 3 win vs Texas. Time to call a spade a spade, folks.
This should be downvoted to death. Smoke was an absolute shite show. You may not like CPM, but he’s 10x the coach Smoke was.

Kentucky taking this attitude?
I'm glad you went here.
Kentucky basketball has had 3 championships in the same time frame LSU has had 6 baseball championships.
Kentucky Basketball has had 1 champ in the 2000s. LSU baseball has had 2.
Since 1999 (when SR began), Kentucky basketball has been to the sweet 16, 13 times. LSU has been to the SR, 13 times.
John Calapari has made the Elite 8, 7 times. CPM has made CWS. 5 times.
John Calapari has one natty and has played for another, CPM has one Natty and has played for another.
John Calapari has 6 SEC regular season champs, and 5 SEC tournament titles. CPM has 4 regular season SEC titles and 5 SEC Tournament Titles in 13 years.
Those are petty similar resumes, if you ask me.

I expect that every year. It’s what LSU Baseball is supposed to be about.

Don't forget that Smoke tried to burn the program to the ground on the way out by narc'ing to the NCAA about stuff.

It's not necessarily the in-game decisions, it's the lack of preparation (coaching) that leads to poor in-game decisions.

Miss State has made it 4 years in a row with 4 different coaches. So a well prepared team can go year after year.

They are always in a position to go, do you expect them TO GO next year. No reason to be that optimistic.

With that attitude, I guess he will.
I will say the same thing about CPM as I did about Miles, if your attitude is we might do worse, you will never do better.

For the sake of the program it's time for a change

That has been the problem, it isn't that he makes decisions that can be second guessed, he makes decisions that are questionable WHILE HE IS MAKING THEM. Last night, prime example, there is ZERO reason to pitch to a teams best hitter with a gassed pitcher with two outs and a runner at second with first base open. That's baseball management 101 and he blew it. Again. It has become more the norm than the exception that he makes poor decisions in games.

...have not one left handed pitcher on the roster the entire season??
This in itself is inexcusable and borders being incompetent at your job.

Well, with that shiny ranking of no.1 to start this season, I fully expected LSU to be one of the eight teams standing at the end. So next season, when we are ranked as a preseason top 8 and miss Omaha again to go with our current trajectory, what will the excuse be then?

Paul Manieri was a good coach at Air Force and Norte Dame. He was handed the keys to one of the premier programs in all of baseball, a program that in many ways, runs itself because of facilities, history and most importantly, it’s fans and the money they generate for it. I credit him for providing a spark to get out of the lull smoke had let it fall to with our last championship. But my appreciation for him ends there.
Since that championship appearance I think he’s used a lot of excuses for his team’s failures to win consistently at the CWS or get there at all. There were quite a few showings of no win or 1-win performances in the CWS and a finals sweep. You combine those performances with the team’s inability to win a super regional at home, now 3 times to lesser seeded teams and the years we couldnt make a regional or win on the road in one and its just not good enough for the standards that have been established and expected here. There are other programs in the SEC and around the country that are starting to do it better and more consistently. I think it’s time we go after one of them.

He's not even that. Smoke and Turtle got off their asses to recruit, Mainieri doesn't even do that.

I see someone posted that you won't EVER hear Duke or Kentucky say this about basketball. And you won't hear Alabama say this about football. And these sports are just as, if not more competitive (particularly basketball).
And I don't care if they don't actually achieve it. But the expectation is there. It's clear that the coaching staff needs a shakeup (even if it's not at the top).

Actually, you do. Maybe not every single year, but consistently.
From a recruiting, facilities, resources and fan support standpoint, LSU is one of the elite programs in the country if not THE elite program. You expect an elite program to be able to regularly finish in the top 8, which is what is required to get you to Omaha. You absolutely expect to make the top 16, which gets you a regional.

Um..based upon the fact that they are pretty much in a position to get to the CWS every year.

While I agree, this is not the 90’s..... now if you want to blame that on the current coach.... so be it.... BUT college baseball has changed so much over the last 20 years......
