[quote]Moore is closer to retirement than moving to a different job [/quote]
I suppose that's true, but I still argue that he's done more with less money and support than Beth has.

[quote]It's WAY PAST TIME for a change.[/quote]
I wonder if we could get Glenn Moore to come back to LSU.
He got Baylor to within one game of their 5th WCWS berth.
He's done more with less at Baylor than Beth has to work with at LSU....

[quote]Beth has done a great job[/quote]
If a "great job" to you is finishing middle of the pack in the SEC, no regular season SEC titles, no SEC tournament titles, and a WCWS berth every 7-8 years, then Beth is the coach you want. As another poster pointed out, she is the Mark Richt of college ...

I hope that Heavener does make it to LSU and that she can make an immediate impact. Having her and Sydney Berzon would give us a formidable duo in the circle. Danica Coffe...

[quote]they need a new hitting coach as well[/quote]
They've got one. That's what Bryce Neal was for, at least that's what I thought.
I do agree that all of Beth's former players that are on staff need to go when she goes....

[quote]Beth was one win away from Softball World Series...she probably bought herself another year or two. That being said, she will never win a Championship at LSU.[/quote]
The logical thing to do is let her serve out the remainder of her contract, then let her go. Fire every member of her staf...

Started out 24-0. Won only 2 of 8 SEC series, while losing to the two worst programs in the league. No regular season or tournament championships in 14 years and hasn't been to the WCWS since 2017. Has had teams with both elite pitching and great hitti...

No. No, we are not. We haven't been to the WCWS since 2017.
Beth has no SEC regular season titles or SEC tournament titles in her 14 years at LSU.
In the time that Beth has been at LSU, Alabama, Florida, and Tennessee have ...

[quote]very close to going to world series [/quote]
Closeness only counts in horseshoes and atom bombs.
It has less to do with this season's performance than with the pattern Beth has established. She's been at LSU for 14 seasons. She went to 4 WCWS in her first seven years at LSU. That's a...

One of these is not like the others. For a lot of fans, the jury is still out on Kelly.

I agree. The correct thing to do is let her finish out her contract, then not renew her. Let Howard Dobson and the others go, but try to keep Bryce Neal if at all possible, although he may leav...
