You sound dumber with every post you make

If it was up to you, we'd have a new baseball coach every 2 years

Then please tell me what goals/benchmarks LSU should be achieving that they are not at the present time?

You really don't get it, do you? Not everything is so rigid and cut and dry. Dumping money into a program doesn't automatically have to equate to winning the CWS every few years. Sometimes you run into a hot team and lose. Sometimes you make a decision or two that cost you a game. Sometimes your team goes cold late. I think once you start to understand that not everything is black and white and not everything can be tabulated with money signs, you'll be a lot less miserable.

quote:I agree. But I'm not merely looking at talent. Consider the overall investment. Elite basketball teams make the sweet 16 more often than not and some years go further. The same should be true of any sports investment. The baseball team should be winning games in Omaha more often than not. Heck, mainieri can't even get there much less win games much less make it to the finals. And he's only had to go on the road once since then. His postseason resume is starting to look like bianco's.
outside of 2009....with the talent LSU has had annually, I'd have to say overall they have underachieved
Having said that, he did get ripped off in 2010. He would have had to travel but, you never know what could happen after that.

This right here tells me all I need to know about your knowledge of how the game of baseball and the landscape of college baseball works. Carry on.

He's wrong about "more often than not". But a few of these teams have underachieved. That's not an insult. Many teams under and overachieve every year. LSU just had a couple of years recently where they didn't finish like they were easily capable of doing: Losing to Houston at home. And 0-2 in 2013. Other than that, I'd say we either met the realistic expectations or surpassed them.
I know a lot of people put stock in reg. season wins and SECT wins. And they're good accolades to have, but there's a different standard here... one that I'm proud of. The bar is set at a CWS championship. Skip understood the value of everyone having that expectation... that desire... fans, players, coaches and administration alike.

Can you link me to where you said it? Because "more often than not" isn't really specific.

quote:I have already said that I'm ok with outliers. I completely understand the scenarios you presented but they don't affect the overall point one bit because they are outliers. In general, elite programs are in Omaha and winning games there on a regular basis. Lsu should be at the forefront. Has that been happening? No.
