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.

Great news for SLU Fans!

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.

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.

This is pretty stupid to compare this with basketball

She will if we want to be successful…NIL is the name of the game going forward.

.551 in SEC . Say it ain't so coach ...

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.

Someone, explain how this makes any sense.

barry•11 months

with rev sharing the dept is super budget conscious, won't effect rev to keep her, will cost money to buyout

Ponchy Tiger•11 months

Her buy out is $1.3 million. It does not make sense to buy her and then have to likely buy the contract of he coach that replaces her plus assistants buyouts. Just run the clock out on her contract and assistants contracts then get rid of her.

Who gave a softball coach a 1.3 million dollar buyout????!

NorCali•11 months

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

Sarge•11 months

Terrible

Oh Yay.

Popstiger•11 months

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.

mla0100•11 months

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…

DrSteveBrule•11 months

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.
