With all the advantages LSU gives a Head Baseball Coach....

Why is CPM continuing to turn out mediocre results.
*CPM is one of the top paid coaches in College Baseball if not the highest paid.
*LSU outdraws every other baseball program in the country and it isn't close. LSU has led the nation in college baseball attendance for over 15 years.
*LSU has TOPS to help with scholarships.
*LSU has a tremendous home field advantage.
*LSU is one of maybe a handful of Baseball Programs which actually turns a profit.
*LSU's baseball facilities are some of the finest in the Country.
Considering all these advantages what is the reason CPM is always short in one area or another? If it isn't a lack of pitching in one year then the offense is missing in another. He went through a "small ball" phase but that didn't work out so now he is all over the place with his "philosophy".
Base running errors are a CPM trademark as is indecision on playing certain personnel. This season Papiersky (sp) is playing but Coomes should be in my opinion. Pap is a true liability in the batting order and has had some of the worst strikeouts I have ever seen. With LSU's "Jekyl & Hyde" offense I just don't see how CPM continues with liabilities in the batting order.
I understand it is early in the season but CPM's teams always seem to have an identity crisis and this team is just same thing we have seen over and over.
It just isn't enough to be competitive in the SEC and then lose in a Regional or Super-Regional to Stony Brook or someone else.
It is past time for a complete team at LSU under CPM.
He is not capitalizing on the advantages LSU gives him.

It's a shame that either of have to play to be honest.

Devils Advocate:
Scholarship limits (11.7)
Roster limits (35)
The facilities don't stand out like you think (TCU, USCe, Arky, etc.)

Everyone has same scholarship limits. And most states don't have something like tops

Frankly, I just don't think a lot of people want to play for Paul.

That's an "experience" ranking. Facilities wise, LSU lacks some basics. But thanks for letting us all know you've been to every park. No one else has.

Clearly did your research

For in state

Same as your second point

Again solid research
Can you tell me how many active college coaches have more National championships than Paul?
I can, it's 2

Just for fun, how many have one in the last 7 years?
How many have more wins in Omaha in the last 7 years?

New Alex Box is a disappointment compared to other places. Like always, Louisiana settles vs. going all out.

College baseball has been set up to have true parody moreso than any other sport even college hoops; evident by the fact that the blue bloods can some what dominate in hoops.
But blue bloods in baseball really can't dominate. I love college baseball but I feel the sport is getting cheapened.

Top 10 ranking is mediocre? Y'all are some miserable sob's. Skip's days are long gone. LSU was one of a handful of schools which emphasized baseball. We got the cream of the crop in recruiting and, later on, fed them steroids. The rest of the country has figured out that if you put money in the program, local talent will stay home. Also, you know that Travel Ball that is so evil compared to Rec ball (full of Timmy Lupus players), well Travel Ball is evening the playing field and producing many more players with developed talents. LSU hasn't fallen off, everyone else has caught up. Relax and enjoy the good baseball.

No it isn't an experience ranking. If you read the article it gives an overview of facilities, fans, game day. Basicly an overview of the program as a whole.
Like I said I have experienced every SEC venue plus others and LSU is second to none. That's the reason LSU comes out on top in these rankings.
Even if you have a preference for a different stadium it is the overall gameday experience that kids see when being recruited.
If you think CPM is doing a great job then that is your prerogative. Personally, I think CPM is wasting many of his advantages.

Ray Tanner won in 2010 and 11
Who gives a shite about wins in Omaha if you don't win the entire thing. If you guys haven't noticed there isn't a team since LSU in the 90's to consistently win championships

Mediocre results? Let year he made a team with 8 new starters a national seed. He's won a national championship and made it to Omaha many times.
Frankly I think the sport of college baseball is just much different than it used to be. You can't dominate like you could with the older bats when Bertman was around.
It's hard to win games, teams are streaky, you need luck to make championship runs. I don't know what more yall want from him? We will be a top 4 team in the SEC, likely a national seed, and hopefully the post season plays out for us and we win it all. Likely it won't, but that's baseball. Just like they said on the broadcast yesterday, 90% of the time the college baseball champion isn't the best team on paper.

Nope I just love LSU baseball and I can't stand the people who don't know a fricking thing about baseball running their mouths

All I'm saying is that the facilities at the Box do not stand out compared to stadiums that have just as good locker rooms and training facilities, all chair backs, champions club equivalents, suites, etc. It's not like I'm making up Bama and TCU's remodel or Arkansas beautiful stadium or USCe which opened the same year and is laughably better.

That would be 6 then... and succeeding in Omaha is preferred to not succeeding in Omaha. You can't in one sentence say that all that matters is championships and then in the next brush off PM's zero championships in 7 years.
