Bottom line is: Coach G does not make players better. Look at the "SEC Conference Only" stats and you'll find that LSU is 6th or worse in most offensive catagories. Pitching stats are mis-leading because they faced weak competition until the FL & Bama series. At $135,000+ a year,G should be achieving more with her teams.

Those stats are misleading. Her stats, along with the other pitchers, not to mention the hitters, will all tell the true story now that they're finally facing stronger competition. Take the hitters stats for example. SEC stats only: 7th in Batting avg. - 8th in slugging % - 6th in runs scored - 7thin hits - 8th in HRs - 8th in total bases.... the numbers start to show a consistent 7th -8th avg. That will not take us far in post season. Hopefully they get better. The next few weeks will show if we're contenders or pretenders. Ain't sports great!!

IMO we're not getting our money's worth. I believe her salary is $135,000 a year with other attachments that can bring it up to $150,000. This is top HC for the SEC. Is she better than Murphy @ Bama? No. Is she better than Walton @ FL? No. Better than the Weeklys (ex-olympic coach) Better than Miller @ Miss (ex-olympic coach).... We don't get the top-tier players and with her budget there is no excuse. I agree that she is coasting - especially with recruiting, she doesn't pound the TB tournaments like others do. As far as this season, the schedule has favored them until this weekend. UF exposed our pitching and hitting as average at best. This is a talented team but it won't be pushed or coached up to the level needed to compete for SEC or National championships.
