We (LSU fans) are overly critical of everything baseball because we expect Omaha every year, but any SEC program would be elated to have him as their coach.
I don't expect Omaha every year. But I do expect a legitimate coaching search to be done when looking to replace an assistant coach. I don't think anyone in their right might should be okay with Mainieri handing over the reigns of hitting coach and recruiting coordinator to someone with zero coaching experience whose most outstanding qualification for that position seems be that he is Mainieri's Godson.

Not sure if I would put Maneiri first. Aside from his CWS win in 2009, he consistently has teams that can't hit and our pitching is average at best. Not to mention, we lost at home to Stony Brook in a super regional last summer. I do think he is a very good coach, but I don't follow baseball enough to really know for sure. What about USCe coach. They've been pretty damn great the past few seasons.

He has winning records over just about all the other coaches. Just because he's not Skip, doesn't mean he isn't good.

I never said he wasn't good, and he's a million times better than that clown Smoke Laval, I was just saying as a casual fan what Ive seen over the past few years, but IDK much about the other coaches enough to really rank them.

Everyone is critical of Javi, but Mainieri made the right move taking him off 3B this year. Our hitting has never been bad under him (not great either) and it's unfortunate the new bats came around and we had to reinvent ourselves and part of that has to go on him. Could we have gotten someone better? Sure, but we also won a national title with him, so we can win it all with him as well. I wouldn't blink if we replaced him, but I also am not saying Mainieri isn't a great coach because Javi. Mainieri is a great coach because he is. Show me a fanbase that agrees with everything their baseball coach has ever done and I'll hang up.

Ray Tanner (USCe) is now the AD. Maneiri gets the nod for first because of that Natty, and his teams have never been "terrible". I know missing regionals is bad, especially for LSU fans, but Paul is a good coach. That being said, if Van Horn got a Natty, I'd put him above Paul. Until then Paul gets the nod.

It is hard for me to be fair in ranking Cohen because i don't like him, but i do believe realistically you have to realize the Van HOrn has taken two different teams to Omaha...come on...

He was the only coach with the balls to accept the job; we offered everyone and his brother and they all turned us down. He built the program back up, won a natty his 3rd year, back to back to back SEC tournaments, and the SEC last year. We're a rabid fan base and 15% of the base wants to fire any coach who doesn't win a natty every two years....he's probably the highest paid coach in college baseball and he deserves it...he's one of the top 5 coaches in Div. 1.

I'd certainly put Gaspard no higher than bottom 3rd of the league but I'm not sure he deserves to be dead last. I realize he had an awful year last year but he was a win away from the College World Series in 2010 and went deep in a Regional in 2011.

Yep - even before Skip at LSU, Ron showed the SEC that baseball could be something big.

I omitted the first-time SEC coaches, but the Missouri coach would definitely been right at the bottom of my superior ranking system based on my in-depth analysis.
Mizzous coach is actually the man.
Been there for 19 years, longest tenure of any MU coach.
- Eight NCAA Tournaments in 10 Seasons
- Second-winningest coach in Mizzou history
- Most wins at current school among active SEC coaches
- 2007 Big 12 Coach of the Year
- Longest-tenured coach at Mizzou
- 14 30-win seasons
- Head Coach of USA Baseball Collegiate National Team (2011)
- Had coached eight All-Americans at Mizzou
Mizzou baseballs problem is there are number of other schools in Missouri that are more focused on baseball. MO State is a great baseball school. If MU becomes the flagship baseball school in the state now that we're in the SEC, look out.

Well, Jim Wells certainly believed him with the retire/unretire stuff.
