He is a lazy frick. That's it in a nutshell. Paul doesn't really like to be a hands on teaching kind of coach so he doesn't do that and uses a CEO approach. The problem is that he has a limited number of coaching spots. He also doesn't like to do the hard recruiting thing, so he burns one of his coaching positions on somebody who can recruit, but that guy can't really do anything else. Paul isn't gonna actually coach pitching, so he's got a pitching coach. He's not gonna coach hitting or base running or anything else insignificant like that. He can get former players to do those things. And as he's said in the past, these players should already know how to hit by the time they get to college. I figure they aren't firing you just yet. So if you're not going to step down this year, you better step up next year and get off your lazy arse and earn your money. Do some coaching, Coach.

Do you have first hand knowledge of this? If you do, then that's a big problem. If you don't and are simply speculating, then GTFO.

Damn, didn’t realize you were that close to the program to know all the ins & outs of how exact things worked.

Thanks for the inside info, you have changed my mind

It appears it is talent evaluation.
After Smith and Deps, who you got?
Beloso is a positive for the future, and Cabrera, but after that there is much to be proven.

a bunch of people responding with laughing faces, but no information.

Paul got to LSU for the 2007 season. #1 ranked recruiting class. I do not have the time to gather all rankings, as they were not readily available.
2008 - ?
2009 - ?
2010 - #1
2011 - 15
2012 - 12
2013 - 14
2014 - 24
2015 - 68
2016 - 7
2017 - 16. Cain Arrives.
2018 - 2
2019 - 2

This tells me that Paul has absolutely gotten lazy in recruiting. Seems like he assumed that LSU could recruit itself (and continue his momentum). Apparently that is not true. While I am not a fan of Nolan being one of the paid assts, it obvious what he brings to the table. Problem, he brings literally nothing else.

Paul has hired Cain to do what he does not want to do. Recruit. Problem is that with limited coaches, every coach better bring a lot to the table. Paul said I while back that he had gotten lazy in recruiting, and would be more active in it. Didn't happen. Paul has also said that people can either hit, ot they can't. Thus, no designated hitting coach.

Bottom line is that Paul has made his bed. Now he must sleep in it. It does not matter if I like him, or not. Other coaches, and programs have done a better job than him and have passed LSU. Don't know what else to say.

I didn't find this team as talented as teams in the past. You can blame recruiting or player development I guess. No big time hitters, no big arms and no real speed on the bags like years past.

This team both underachieved and over achieved. It was inconsistent all year. I wanted Omaha again but felt we couldn't compete well once there.

So what’s your final solution to the CPM problem?




Sorry, I’ll see myself out.

We just lost to a team with a 75 year old coach who sounds like he's 90. I'm pretty sure he's not out there throwing BP and hitting fungos.

Wayne Graham had Rice in the CWS as late as 2008, when he was 72. Considering how long it took him to walk to the mound, we can assume he wasn't doing much "coaching" either.

This is 100% not true

LSU has a hitting coach, while it is a volunteer position there is a hitting coach

you are correct. How about this,

A PAID coach on the full time staff. FTR, you knew what I meant.

LMS-Little Man Syndrome. His attitude that the players hate about him all stems from LMS.
