Report: Retired Oregon State Coach Pat Casey Emerges As Leading Candidate For LSU Job

And get a good 4-8 years, then search again?

The man has the résumé but is also 112 years old

This would be a terrible decision why hire a guy that will probably retire in a few years!! We need to find a good young coach to lead us into the future!!

We do not watch the pedo gate coach.

Great college coaches have an alter ego that has an ever presence on the field of play with his players. That ego knows how to give tough love and, effectively, teach toughness, perseverance and to never quit. It knows how to bring the best out of its players. That Skip Bertman attitude can be age independent. But, the desire and energy to recruit and win has to be very high.

When paid big money, employers expect big results and and abundance of accountability. Alex Box and its fan base stand tall in the collegiate baseball world. The coach hiring plan has to be a good one.

Man I think I’d hire the LSUE coach before this guy! Or Goodwin with the LSUE coach as the assistant. He’s obviously got an eye for talent and can coach them up to win championships. I think we can do better and I just can’t see Casey leaving the comfort of the west coast and match the passion here for LSU baseball. I’d rather Cannizzaro tbh. Wasn't he assistant coach the last time we went to the CWS? Then transformed Miss State in like a year? Right before he got into all his troubles. The guy can still coach baseball just keep close tabs on him until he gets going. These jealous opposition fans will always have something to say about the real champion! Their school can’t win a damn thing because their state just don’t produce real champions, Louisiana does and always has. Look at almost any champion in history and it has strong Louisiana ties somewhere! Just the way it is! Tennessee has some rocks, mountains and a nice little stream here or there. That’s about it, but be proud of that, it’s all you have lol.

Why not get a good coach from a smaller program that just can’t get the top players to sign there where he’s coaching because the market is to small and the kids want to be at a recognizable college like “ The LSU Tigers

This would be stupid.

Small bawl!!!

Lol, somebody got trolled. Dude has been in Oregon damn near his entire life and is retired. Why would he even want to take a 2 or 3 year job at the most and uproot all the way to Louisiana where he knows nothing.

Has to be a bluff. Why would we bring in the guy who welcome the child molester onto his mound?

Smokescreen

Why is this even a possibility? Dude is retired for a reason, he wants to chill. No fire in the belly.

this is BS. dude's like 100

So will this be Joe or Scott fault when he's hired? Lol

Please no, no, no, no, NO

No thanks

I hear he would consider Ty Cobb as batting coach, Warran Spahn as pitching coach and Pete Rose player adviser.

It would be about as good a short term hire as possible. But how long could this guy possibly coach if hired? I mean he could go till he is 75ish I guess, but I think him being done in 3 or 4 yrs would be more likely than making it 10 plus.
