Agreed! I feel as though people think that as soon as a new coach is hired then there will be new recruits lining up at the door. However if a new facility was built it may be a different story. People are always attracted to the new and improved.
The backstroker was his own stupid fault. That was a separate incident than what tigerswimmer is referring to
I did not say I was involved in LSU swimming just LSU. And I am still actively involved in the sport of swimming. Never said I was a member of staff.
I just say look for the positive and not the negatives in life. Every one who swam for Adam disliked him. And as someone who swam under both coaches the difference in team mentality and even the progression of swimmers on the program is night and day.
Nope try again. Just trying to help the program maintain a positive image. Don't like the negativity :)
I'm not the coach. You can keep guessing you might get it
You obviously have someone in mind? Care to share?
I know because I am still involved with LSU. And follow lsu swimming as a whole. It doesn't take a lot of research to see the quality of LSUs incoming class
You have some serious pent up anger against the swim team and its current staff.
Yes you are correct. Coach Chris was well loved by all the swimmers but he was not an assistant coach. As you stated yourself look at his credentials. He was the head coach of Clemson for many years and when that program was cut he was out of a job. That was when he took a step down and became LSUs assistant coach. He left his home and his wife in Clemson to come work at LSU because he wanted to work with high level athletes and coaches. The only reason he left is because a head coaching job opened up at Brown university.

There is also nothing wrong with LSUs recruiting. LSU has some of the best age group swimmers in the country in the incoming freshman class (Geyer and his staffs work). And have frequently brought in world class international talent (Tuomola, Hamilton, Greeff, Sepp, Stirrat, Ackland to name a few).
Can't really compare the men's 2011 ranking to any other year. It was an off year in college swimming. In 2011 LSU took 2 swimmers to NCAA and both scored. Heyl 7th and Hamilton 15th. In 2013 LSU qualifed 3 swimmers individually and took 4 others for relays. All 3 swimmers scored. Greff 15th, Hamilton 7th and Tuomola 12th and 15th. If this is not progression on the men's side I don't know what is. 2013 was one of the best years in recent history for the swim team all while the team was targeted by administration. Geyer is the reason for that.
The school record book has been rewritten since Geyer took the helm.
