re: Possibility of Bianco to LSU?

even if Mainieri left tomorrow, there wouldn't be a chance. Bianco flat out chokes on a regular basis. There is no reason he should have only been to Omaha one time in sixteen years as a coach with the teams he's had. He's 1/5 in Super Regionals and has lost twice as the #1 seed in a home regional. No way would I want Bianco as LSU's coach.

MB had his chance years ago to take the job before he was known as a "choke artist". The job was pretty much his if he wanted it.


He didn't want it because he was happy in Oxford so he will probably stay there. Who knows? He may not regret that decision for the rest of his life.

But, he may always wonder "what if" and I couldn't blame him if he did. LSU is the best CBB job in the land and is his alma mater so I know that decision probably tugged on his heart strings.

But that ship has sailed. I think he retires at OM personally.
