Matt Pendleton/Gainesville Sun / USA TODAY NETWORK

Jacques Doucet of WAFB reports that LSU Softball head coach Beth Torina is expected to return to the team next year despite the Tigers' disappointing postseason and early exit from the Baton Rouge regional.

Torina has been LSU's head coach since 2012 and has an overall record of 578-253 (.696) and 173-141 (.551) in the SEC. The Tigers have made it to the postseason in every year since Torina took over, but have not reached the Women's College World Series since 2017.

LSU went 42-16 (12-12 SEC) this past season and finished 9th in the SEC.

Win 69% of your games and barely 50 in SEC. Why is she coming back? Real question is why was she still here this year? The goal at LSU is not just to have a team. She has been here 12 years. More than enough of a chance. She is not all of a sudden going to be a great coach.

Eliminated by Southeastern is a little more than disappointing

Woody is a joke, worst AD in history.

My brother in Christ, should we call Joe Aleva back?

Softball not worth spending buyout money on. Let contract play out then replace her. Or demote her and make an assistant coach the head coach

Of course she is returning. She should.

Pathetic. Thus athletic department has no standards or expectations for softball at all. It’s like Mickey Loomis with the Saints. He will have his job as long as he wants it.

Happy for her

FSU kept Mike Martin for 39 years! He never won anything either. Will LSU keep Beth that long? Is making the post-season every year enough? Seems so.

She has a talented Roster coming back next season. If LSU fires her, they will have to buy her out ($1.3 million), replace her and the entire staff, and find someone comparable? Not to mention, most of her Roster would leave and the team would be decimated and be worse. Anyone have a Coach in mind that would be as good, or better? This is a No-Brainer, she’s staying…

That mindset is dangerous. Texas A&M baseball can speak to that. You don't keep a coach just because the players like them. That has failed countless times and will continue to fail.

It sucks to lose to an in-state school in your own regional…however, who could we get that is a better coach for the same salary to coach this non-revenue program? Beth has been pretty successful, when you look at it objectively.

The Liberty coach in a heartbeat who just knocked out #1 A&M on their home field. Heck of a program. !

Why are standards different for the sports programs?

Football and baseball held to higher standards.

Men’s basketball is an absolute train wreck joke.

Softball somewhere in between.

Depends on which brings in the most $$$$

Totally insane decision to keep this woman as softball coach. Sure, she's good enough to get us to the middle of the pack but as fans, we should want more than that! Program is trending down...
Remember Nikki Fargas?

Fargas never had real success like Beth did early on....but....that was a long time ago....now it is just expected to start fast and flame out...same ole
