re: Hitting coach

Posted by Casualobserver1985 on 5/23/26 at 3:51 pm to
Get better players and the hitting will improve, pitching and hitting coaches don’t turn average into great.
They have a freshman pitcher that has potential to be the best since Hoover, throws harder right now that Hoover ever did..potential don’t win games I get it but she has a chance
It’s different in softball however I get your point, you want her gone regardless of how much it costs the school.
To still be top 15ish? Why hire a mid coach to replace an according to you a mid coach? If we can’t get a Walton, White etc then stay with Beth. The one outlier that I would take is Earlywhine..hard to mismanage it..you call Terry from TT and say I got 800k, you call wells from OU, I got 800k and so on..ain’t rocket science
What’s your expectations? A natty ? OU spends 7 mil on their softball program.. would you be ok with that here ? That would be double what we do now, Gasso makes 2 mil, their 2 main asst coaches 350k, would that be ok here? You do realize LSU is mid in budget in the SEC? TT has 3.5 million in their roster, give Beth 3.5 and what do you think would happen?
Miss St was 9-15 in the SEC, if Beth went 9-15 this place would melt down
The same Duke who got smoked yesterday and has made 1 ws in 8 years ? She also turned down Georgia when they hired Baldwin. I like her though not sure she fits culturally at LSU..btw, she tried to hire Neal a couple yrs ago so she must suck too lol
So those schools have better football programs than LSU? A program isn’t one year, you understand that correct ? By your definition if Miss St beats Oklahoma this yr they would have better program in softball than OU correct? Long Beach St beat OU in softball this yr, they have a better softball program right ?
Still waiting on names to be the next head coach ??
Who cares, that doesn’t make the program better…Is Texas A&M a better football program? Ole Miss? Oklahoma ? Houston? Vandy? They all must be since they beat us in football this past yr
Just like Beth did vs Nija at Stanford
So a team that has never hosted a regional in the history of their school is ahead of a school that hosts every yr and been to supers 2 out the last 3 yrs .. got it lmao
Miss St hasn’t surpassed LSU, they have never hosted a regional and they have passed us? Nah!! What does Miss St have that we don’t ? A elite pitching coach with 2 pitchers better than anything we got. They hit far far below what we do!
Did we need a hitting coach vs Va Tech? Just give Briski credit she is very very good. Clowns wanna talk about hitting after getting whacked for 7 runs. Oklahoma scored 9 how that work vs Miss St? Pitching is the only way to win at this level, if you can’t pitch at an elite level you can’t win. Georgia who can hit got shut down because of elite pitching. Btw , going into yesterday LSU hit better than Bama in sec only stats. Curiously Tennessee is the worse hitting team in the SEC in the ncaa tournament…how they make it WS?
Agree with all that 100% Allow Howard to coach 3rd and run the offense during games, Neal do the hitting and Sandra defense. As far as next yr, go get 3-4 portal players and a elite number 1..without that you cannot win ask OU
The facilities are middle of the pack SEC facilities , her salary is middle of the pack of the SEC! Most ppl don’t keep up with the times in softball but ppl have caught up with funding and facilities. You mentioned Arkansas she has been at Arkansas 3 yrs less than Beth at LSU yet no WS, is that ok? If Beth didn’t make it to the WS in 11 yrs would that have been ok?
So you think she should have hired a 22 yr old grad asst to be the pitching coach at LSU? And this was when Beth was going to 4 WS, you grasping for straws brother!! You have some good arguments about why don’t we have a Briski and development of pitchers but hiring a 22 yr old GA isn’t one of them
Lance has been to 3 places since he left LSU, you think he is the same coach today than he was yrs ago? Come on man. You want to fire Beth ok that’s 500k for 2 yrs, then Neal’s contract would be 185k, now you need to hire another elite coach..that’s 750k for 5 yrs so the 1st 2 would be 1.25 million and then assistants would be 200k plus. If you tell me we gonna get Mike White, Tim Walton, Murphy I’m all for it but they ain’t coming so who do you want hired ? Name some names
I’m saying I don’t want to pay 1.2 million in buyouts, so hire a pitching coach and allow BT to manage the team. As far as assistants some things are better than they were. Do you want to pay 1.2 million in buyouts or give that money to Jay for baseball? I’m not saying Briski is great the SEC coaches voted her the best in the conference. Are you saying she isn’t good ?
Some morons are insufferable, they blame Beth when it rains, blame Beth for everything..it’s all Beth all the time. If you want to ask questions why doesn’t LSU have a pitcher similar to Briski that is a legit question. One pitcher of the week since 2020, that’s a legitimate question
