No. He said in his Presser a few days ago that he has taken some time off from social media. It's a non-issue.

Building more dorms, on-campus apartments, and classrooms, and using up parking space to do so. They really need a couple parking garages to balance it out. It's way overdue.

This reminds me of Burrow in the SEC Championship vs UGA, except he just bought enough time to throw it, instead. It was a hell of a play.

If he wastes it, that's his problem. Let him go if that what he wants to do, and let's get someone in here that wants to work harder to achieve said potential.

It seems as though he’s intentionally pushing the limits of what’s allowed…and I don’t even care. I have zero qualms with it. If it’s not explicitly agsinst the rules, then do it. Everyone else has been abusing loopholes for decades. Force them to change the rules if they don’t like it.

Go find any coach with a way better record than 77-72 in conference. Shouldn’t be difficult. There’s tons of them. Probably even some at lower levels that would do anything to coach with the resources LSU has. And you probably wouldn’t have to pay them $3.35 million a year.

$3 million a year for a college baseball coach, in a sport that makes no revenue, and has a barely over 500 conference record.

What is Van Horn’s conference record? Probably higher. How many CSW Championships does he have?

I think CJJ lost a couple guys when he chose to play the younger guys. But those guys don't matter, long-term. Playing those younger guys should pay off next year. Bit the bullet now and hope it pays off later.

This is the only part of your statement I agree with. He has earned significant grace. Moreover, the man is a workaholic and a perfectionist. I can guarantee this season has made him very unhappy with himself and is very eager to getting on the grind to put together next year's team.

You think he went from winning two titles in 3 straight to a broken system? Even if that's the case, if you can break a system that quickly, with NIL, you can also fix it quickly...assuming you know which part is broken.

That said I don't believe it's his system that is broken. Not the whole thing. Maybe pieces, such as talent evaluation in the portal. Then again, that has also worked in our favor in the past.

I go back to what Jay Johnson said the season after his first title - because of the timing of the portal window and how late you play the deeper you make it into the post season, it's really hard to devote time to your current team AND proper talent evaluation and recruiting portal players. I think it's very likely that is what happened this season. We missed on some of these guys because we couldn't fully evaluate them. There's a risk/reward to the portal just like there is with high school recruiting. We hit on guys like Tommy White but missed on guys like Yorke.

I still firmly believe we have the talent to beat anyone. We have played much less than our best for much of the season. But we have played better as of late. I really hope we can use that to springboard us into an extended winning streak.
