Why I still have faith in Jay..

This year sucked. We all know it. The complaints are warranted and we all know this is below LSU standards and expectations. This season is over. We will not win the SEC and we will not be going to a regional. It is ok to be pissed and bummed out. If we weren’t fans we wouldn’t be.

But here is my thought on Jay. He is the best damn Coach in the country and I’m glad he is ours.

He missed on the portal. By the time that was apparent, it was too late to change it. The roster is/was what it was. But what happened after that. He owned it. He called himself out and he called out the team. He made the lineup changes he could. Remember, the roster was what it was at that point. But the changes he was able to make did make improvements. Offense definitely picked up. Infield defense definitely improved. Even it it never got really good, it improved. All the things that could be positively impacted with half a season left were. The pitching sucked because the pitchers just didn’t posses the ability to get better. Yes it was on Jay for missing on the recruiting but again he owned that. There is some good youth on this team to build around for next year and Jay was able to show that despite the losses.
Nothing was going to get us to Omaha this year once this roster was set but Jay pushed the buttons where he could with the younger players. I’ll give the man with 2 rings and proven track record the benefit of doubt that he is going to crush the offseason and get us back to the top of the SEC and country next season. I do hope he chill with all the shifts though.
