Since we are piling on Beth this evening I thought i would just put some in some results to show how softball has basically progressively got worse over the last 6 years.

2018 - lost supers 1-2
2019 - lost supers 0-2
2021 - lost supers 0-2
2022 - lost road regional 0-2
2023 - just lost home regional

I have always liked Beth and for the most part think she is a good coach but you cant deny there is a problem at this point. With the resources she has the product should be a bit better.

She got very complacent and wouldn’t change her staff knowing she really needed help for a while now. The last two seasons have been the results of her refusing to make the changes the program needed.

It’s all sad because I like Beth a lot (pretty much everyone does) but she only has herself to blame for this

The staff she brought in 10+ years ago is not able to give this program what is needed today. The game has changed quite a bit. The changes should have been made a couple years ago

I like Coach Beth. I am aggravated that our ladies lost to ULL.

It could happen but I don’t think anyone is beating OU anyway.

For a few years it has been blatantly a dobson issue, but I think torina could use support with pitching development.

They have the #1 pitcher coming in soon, and maybe she is the breakthrough we've been looking for.

I just can't wrap my head around not giving Alea Johnson more reps during the regular season, only to throw her to the wolves in a terrible situation against an elite hitting team. I have no idea what the hell she was thinking with that move.

Shelbi Sunseri pitching coach at McNeese and they’ve pitched 20 straight scoreless innings with 13 against #7 Washington and 7 against Minnesota. Might be one to watch

For years people were saying that Maci was the one we were waiting on to be the game changer, the breakthrough. At this point I'm convinced this staff would have ruined Fouts and Allo. This staff cannot get the job done. It's time to cut our losses, deal with players transferring out and bring in a whole new system.

The problem isn’t Beth. It is the NCAA banning the phone and horse head in the dugouts. Screws those Nazi bastards!

2017 ended an LSU stretch of unbelievably dominant All American pitching staffs. Fico, Mack, Waljasper and Hoover were all back to back AA's. Not just one at a time, but together.

That kind of run on pitching superiority doesn't happen very often.
