Has struggled bigly this year

Not really. He struggled at the end of last year and in spring training. He started the year in AAA. Him not struggling this year is why he’s back with the Nationals

Sure, if he gets paid $700k by LSU I will gladly eat crow. Feel free to bookmark it . You’ll do the same too I assume

Crazy to not go Dardar there.

Only thing i can think of was he thought Yorke would be patient and maybe draw a walk with the top of the order coming up. I don't think he was confident any of the available bats on the bench were getting on base. Obviously that didn't happen

Kiff and CWJ took a D2 guy to the cfp semis in less than 1 year of development.

Kiffin turned Jonathan Crompton from a joke to a pretty good SEC QB in one year.

He turned a RB into an All-SEC QB in one year at Alabama

Go look at what Matt Corral did his first two years at Ole Miss under Luke and what he did in year 1 under Kiffin. Massive improvement. he had two bad games, one against LSU and one against Arkansas. He shredded Alabama and Florida, the East and West champs, and everyone else on the schedule. He had over 3300 yards and 29 TDs in 10 games and another 500+ yards rushing. Ole Miss was 7th nationally in passing offense and 14th nationally in scoring offense in year 1 :lol:

Like of all hills to die on re Kiffin, trying to denigrate his ability to develop QBs is a wild take

you have taken Kiffin leaving Ole Miss for LSU worse than any other Ole Miss fan on here, by a lot. You really need to find a new hobby. It has to be exhausting for you to hate Kiffin this much

Kyle Peterson brought this up during the game. Jay was getting guys into the game that may/will not play again (at the next level). He said it Jay's way of showing respect.

I think Jay knew the season was over and wanted to do what he thought was a send off.

Everyone has an opinion but I would like to think he was doing this as a send off.

their send off should have been playing in the last home game on Saturday. He started all the seniors

I don't understand why you think we are in a major rebuild...a lot of the replacements for these guys had decent playing time this year. They just need to pan out. You really just need to find a 2B whether on roster or not, and another OF.

C - Cade/Serna
1B - Serna/Braun
2B - Clauss or best incoming SS Freshman
SS - Ruckert
3B - Pearson or another incoming Freshman
RF - Harden/Braun
CF - Patrick
LF - Harden/Freshman

Harden is the only one that didn't get "alot" of reps this year but looked like it could be there. The problem with next year without a few hits on transfers is depth. The current team is upper classmen heavy.

I would bet Jay is looking for a SS in the portal. Ruckert may end up playing there, but I don't believe he's inspired confidence in Jay that he doesn't need to be looking for another option there. OF is going to need some work. I also don't think he's going to be satisfied plugging in Pearson at 3rd base next year. He served a purpose when Carraway busted, but I do not think Jay views him as the long-term solution at 3rd. We've had some freshman show promise and freshmen who didn't do much. I would prob expect a lot of portal additions and Jay has plenty of time to work on that, something he didn't last year

They were essentially the only two good players on the field for LSU

Mason Braun was 5th in the SEC in batting average (.355) in SEC games, Arambide was 10th (.343). Arambide was also 2nd in HRs, 3rd in RBIs, and 2nd in OPS in SEC games.

Serna, as a true freshman, was 14th in the SEC in OPS in conference games.

quote:
Johnson has a major rebuild for next year.

he's had a major rebuild almost every season he's been the coach. He's returned one starting pitcher (Floyd) in his entire career here. He's had to replace his entire rotation every other year.

The only year he didn't have massive turnover in the lineup was 2023 when he returned Morgan, Crews, Dugas, Milazzo/Trav, Jobert, Beloso, Thompson

This is what the portal/NIL has done to college baseball, if dealing with the draft wasn't already a problem. You're going to have to completely rebuild your rotster year to year more time than not.
