Link below to the interview. I thought folks in this thread summarized it pretty good. Ben spoke to some statistical facts of LSU baseball results over the last 5 years.

I thought it was a good interview and worth a listen.

Weird spot to post this. He’s never coached college baseball and has never indicated an interest in doing so. Is that someone LSU should hire?
No, of course not. Ben might have enough expertise to coach - probably not, but maybe. What he is lacking is the one indispensable thing, and that’s a willingness to work night and day. Ben doesn’t have that. He has a life of ease.

There are three things people want when they strive:

Money - Ben already has that
Fame - Ben already has that
Time - Ben already has that

You can add women and a few other things, but they are derivative of the big three above.

Occasionally you will see someone who has all of that, but they still sacrifice their time to get more. Elon Musk is one of those. But Ben is not one of those guys. If he was he never would have goofed off the last few years.

Usually a forced retirement would come with some negotiations. He would get a buyout but LSU could be more flexible with how it’s paid since he’s not likely to take another position.

LSU couldn’t do shite unless CPM is gracious about it. The contract has terms, including guaranteed money and a timetable for when it gets paid. Unless CPM places some value on his free time over the next three years, LSU would have no leverage with which to negotiate.

false. He'd rather hunt. I appreciate his opinion if public.
