re: Tim Corbin should be our first call. Then McDonnell. All other candidates are uninspiring

And LSU brings in the talent so recruiting is not the issue.
They can get players we cant literally because of the scholarship situation they have. Plus their education there is a huge added bonus to many in the recruiting process (especially if they can get it for free). Plus, he basically has a lifetime contract there, and they pay him. If he comes here and we make Omaha say twice in 5 years with no title he's gone.
He's got incredible job security and situation at Vandy. He's also about to be 60 in a couple months. He's not uprooting that situation to come here.

Your post is uninspiring

Godwin has never been to Omaha in 7 seasons as head coach
A few things:
- 5 seasons (last season was canceled, his current season hasn’t ended yet)
- He’s at ECU
- It’s his first head coaching gig and he’s only 43

Some of you really need to get a grip on things with your coaching candidate opinions. LSU is going to hire a very good coach. He won't have Skip level success, but that's ok.

Are you under the impression that we have not made any calls yet?

I support this. He’s obviously a good coach, but just because he won two CWS people act like he’s Casey Stengel.

LSU can recruit with Vandy but they definitely have it easier.

I love how all the morons who have been calling for Mainieri to be fired for years are now throwing fits because there isn't a guy out there who can stack up to what Mainieri has done. 
There are plenty of good candidates out there people, but almost none of them will stand up to Mainieri when you stack up their career achievements side by side. Doesn't mean they can't win at LSU.

Anybody who would turn their nose up at having Corbin as their coach is a fool.

I mean, no we can't consistently. No one really can, it's thre reason they dominate recruiting. The rules need to be changed.
I don't think you get how much easier he has it.

He's a good coach who is playing with a loaded deck, thus causing people to think he's better than he is. Of course I'd take him, he's a good coach, but two things:
A. He'd never, ever leave his situation unless he's a moron.
B. He's older. Let's get a guy that we know we can get 15 strong years out of at least.

I understand that the private schools have an advantage in recruiting, but if you get the right coach here who is committed to recruiting, and uses tops to their advantage with the Louisiana kids, then LSU has a plenty good enough brand to recruit with anybody. shite, Mainieri did it with minimal effort.
And nobody in their right mind thinks Corbin is leaving Vandy. I'm just replying to the jackass who made it seem like he wouldn't be good enough.

It’s McDonnell
Or bust

I've been screaming this for years. Up vote to infinity.
Below average coach given the advantages and talent to bring it in.

No he didn't. He hasn't recruited nearly as well as Vanderbilt and that's not to say he's recruited poorly. We just can't compete with that recruiting advantage, even with TOPS.
They can give kids with terrible grades stuff like minority scholarships. And it's not just all private schools, they have very specific advantages.

I keep seeing this said over and over but I don't think I've ever seen any actual rule that would allow this by the NCAA. Can someone actually explain how they can get around the 11.7 rule, and why other universities aren't doing it as well?
Posted on 6/9/21 at 12:11 pm to spiderman
Corbin is not an option
He was interested last time though
He is not leaving that built in Vandy scholarship advantage no one else has outside of Tulane and a few others

Opportunity Vanderbilt and other minority based scholarships:
Household AGI under $100k - You pay nothing.
Household AGI under $175k - You barely pay anything.
Then the guys that DO count against the 11.7, if they make good grades their freshman year (which they ensure happens with tutoring) they fall off the 11.7 and get Opportunity Vanderbilt full rides.
They also usually have more minority players because they have minority scholarship grants with far lower admission standards that pay their way through school and don't count against the 11.7.
The NCAA has stopped this in basketball and football, but hasn't in baseball.

LSU's average finish in the rankings the past 4 years - 4
Vandys - 1.25
To say that LSU isn't even close to Vandy is flat out wrong. That small off a difference in rankings has brought forth a huge difference in results. So either the difference between the 1/2 classes and the 4th ranked class in college baseball is massive, or Corbin is a damn good coach. Which do you think it is?

LSU has never had an issue recruiting in baseball. With the right coach that will continue. Once again, I'm not saying that private schools don't have an advantage in recruiting, but to pretend that the gap can't be overcome is not correct. Kids from all over the country want to play for LSU. That isn't going to change, unless the coach sucks.
The difference between LSU and Vandy/Arkansas/Florida has come down to poor coaching recently.
