Smoke Laval

As bad as things were under Smoke, I looked this up on LSUsports.net
Raymond “Smoke” Laval served as LSU’s head baseball coach for five seasons (2002-2006) before resigning his position on June 4, 2006. In five years at the helm of the LSU program, he guided the Tigers to two College World Series berths, two NCAA Super Regional titles, three NCAA Regional championships, one SEC title, two SEC division championships and two Top 10 finishes. He resigned under pressure.
Point being, Jay has a ways to go. I’m not sure if I’ve seen a worst team fielded by LSU post Bertman.

My goodness. Get a fricking grip.
JJ hasn't been here for 5 seasons, so you can't even begin to draw that comparison. Smoke was also left a team coming off a college baseball dynasty run that will never be rivaled again.

Need unlimited down votes for a revision of history. Laval progressively got worse and did not win a title.

seriously?
we didn’t even make the field of 64 in 2011 and likely wouldn’t have in 2020 had that season played out.
we’re currently projected to be 2 Seed in a regional.
which isn’t anywhere close to missing the field all together.

This has to be one of the most short sighted dramatic takes on the rant. Ever.
Comparing a coach who inherited a dynasty and never won shite to a coach who inherited a stagnant program and won it all in 2 years. That’s rich
And I’ll say laval never stood a chance replacing a legend. But so be it. He took the job and failed after a while.

I had season tickets back then. Smoke got worse every year. Last year was so bad that PM dumped his four so called best players.

2011 is worst

Not sure how often it needs to be said... Smoke took over a Ferrari and crashed it in no time at all.
Before 2005, LSU had never missed a Super Regional... Smoke did.
Before 2006, LSU had not missed the postseason since 1988... Smoke did.
