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.

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

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

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.

No one cares! There are only two jobs at this University that anyone would want. Football and Baseball.

Even when they suck, daughters absolutely love to go watch them in person. There are a lot of "hero's" to little girls on that field.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.
