LSU should have opened the search and they did not. I like the hire that LSU made now, Minarei (sp) did as much or more ND than UL did in the last 5 yrs. ND pretty much ignores baseball and yet he did well.
Honestly, if football and basketball are winning, that is what really matters. I want LSU to be good at everything from all sports to academics, but you must pick and choose where to expend the most effort. Football first b/c it is the money maker. Basketball second, then baseball, then women's sports.
