re: What did Vitello do to upset the rant?

I’m sorry I called you an idiot. That was out of line.

Let’s unite and support coach Bianco

And I'm sorry you are so obtuse about this concept.

I don't want Bianco. You can stop with that pettiness.

He is a little Nancy!!!

Don’t call me names. That really hurts

And to help you understand, I was saying you don’t Sully bc you’re afraid of the expectations that come with that kind of success. A coach like that would be expected to win in Omaha. It’s not a difficult concept to grasp.

Your expectations seem far from “too high” so you should be happy with the new coach bc it won’t be anyone nearly as accomplished

Don’t laugh Roger. That’s who Skip is pushing for

Vitello would absolutely take the LSU job but we don’t want him for some reason. It’s bianco now

Ahhhh- not so sure about that- at least not w/o throwing some way over the top offer. Think he’s what - I’m the $400k or so range now- and there is talk of bringing him the $1.5mm with a commitment to put a lot of capitol into the baseball program/facility upgrades. I think the only thing we or A&M did was maybe get more of a raise than he was already most likely getting. Not saying the dude is only getting a pay increase bc of threat of losing him - but would have to think, we not aggie hurt his salary discussions.

I didn't call you a name. Obtuse is a word to describe your behavior. It's not an ad hominem. But you knew that already. You just couldn't resist saying something pointless.

Dude... That is an embarrassing and IMPOSSIBLE concept to grasp. Because it isn't even a real concept coming from the perspective of a fan. HOW can a fan be afraid of success? I already stated that he is on the same downward trajectory that Mainieri has been on. That's right, I'm SUPER afraid of underachieving, and really terrified of going 0-2 in a regional and getting beat 19-1 by South Alabama.

I don't want him because I don't think he moves the needle. What success do I have to be afraid of? Am I going to be fired if LSU doesn't win? Hey, buddy, guess what? LSU IS expected to win in Omaha. LSU has 6 national titles. Did you know that? What did you think my expectations were? "LSU has won all these championships, and that's why I can't handle success. I want Smoke Laval". Get outta here with that nonsense.

Past accomplishments don't win now. I've already argued this point down to the bone. Let's bring Skip back, and let's go hire Bobby Bowden for football.

Better yet, let's keep Mainieri, because he has the same number of championships as Sully. I'm sure you aren't opposed to that, right? Since you're all about past accomplishments and status quo, which is exactly what we'd get with Sully.

It's a good thing you don't run the athletic department. We wouldn't have hired Skip, Saban, or Wade.

If that dude won here and was passionate about it, y’all would get in line for it.::: stop kidding yourself.

Actually, very often people on here complain because he isn't acting like Vitello. Isn't sticking up for his players, doesn't ask for a review, etc.

---

And everyone else complains that he's whining/sulking about something not going his way. Or did you think yelling at the umpires was the only thing people are talking about when they say Vitello is a whiner? Try harder with your fact checking, friend.

---

Fact checking? Are you saying that people haven't complained that Paul doesn't stick up for his players or should have asked for reviews but instead just sat there in the dugout? You are making blanket statements, I predicated my statement with very often because I have been on this site long enough to know someone will eventually complain about everything.

They called him that for apologizing for complaining about them.

---

That's what SOME people complained about. Lots of others complained about the fact that he ever whined about the fans, in the first place. Again, try harder with your fact checking.

---

Fact checking again? The bulk of what I read was exactly what I stated. How far back do I go before I respond to something one here? Just curious.

Eh, somebodies does but I don't think it's the guy you are responding too

You're half right. It's both him and you now. Not just the one.

Perhaps we both got off on the wrong foot here because I actually doubt either of us has an agenda that requires a narrative and, I suspect, neither does the person to whom you responded.

I think we got off on the wrong foot here. I was really just trying to say that he was correct that much of the upset is directly related to the fact that Vitello in not in P&G but instead in that gaudy orange color.

Gotta be honest though, I wouldn't mind Vitello as the next baseball coach. Also like Godwin and McDonnell. Looking forward to seeing where the coaching search goes and hope our Tigers can pull out the regional.
