Kendall Rogers

The former Arizona skipper led the ‘cats to two Omaha trips in 6 seasons.



Coach was born on 4/20 (blaze it) 1977 in Orville, California. He has an overall record of 316-172 as a head coach at Point Loma Nazarene (2005), Nevada (2014-15), and Arizona (2016-21). His tournament record is 17-7.

He won the Mountain West regular season title in 2015 and the PAC-12 title this year. He was awarded conference coach of the year in both championship seasons.

In his 6 (including the COVID season) years at Arizona he has finished as national runner-up (beating the SEC champs Miss State at the dude) in ‘16, made a regional in ‘17, missed the postseason in ‘18 and ‘19, and went 0-2 in Omaha in ‘21 after beating the shite out of Ole Miss in a home super regional.

Great hire. I think Arizona’s style of play will fit in at LSU nicely. Plus he’s already got winning experience in Omaha

Vitello is waiting for Dave Van Horn to retire.

Good hire by LSU.

Said from the start I didn’t want Vitello. Small sample size with him and a low class program.

I've known for a while Voltello wasn't interested. I've been enjoying you guys getting your hopes up.

Waiting to see how this plays out. His conf. record left a lot to be desired in the PAC.

Looks like they wanted someone who can win in Omaha.
