I hope your wrong, because that is the quickest way to get Saban to take an NFL job.

I think and hope that it won't be like that for him now that we have won an NC with him as coach, that usually gives coaches a lot more wiggle room with fans. Did anybody really question Skip after he started winning National Titles? I don't remember them doing so.

Is it me or does Smoke need to be "let go"? I for one was VERY disappointed in our performance this year and in particular at the CWS and SEC Tournament. I think Skip needs to pull double duty as AD & Baseball Coach. What do ya'll think?:tigbas:

I believe we need some pitching. I think 3 of the pitchers signed for next year will be in the minors. Few teams win without good pitching. That is something we do not have.

I know you all are going to ask who, but don't. Skip Bertmen told "this person that he and I know", that Smoke is not very happy at LSU. I didn't get the reason(s) why he wasn't happy, but this source is EXTREMELY close to the Skipper. I believe this person 100%, but I honestly don't want to, because I like Smoke as a coach.

I can believe it. How happy would any coach be when people around town are calling for your job after back-to-back CWS appearances?

It would be interesting to see him win it all next year, then tell everyone to shove it and walk away from LSU...

None of these idiots who are calling for Smokes head or complains when NIck loses a game give a rats ass about what they accomplished in the past. It's all about "What have you done for me NOW!"

For once, I agree with you. It's going to be a shame when it drives coach Saban from LSU, but it will happen. Smoke got us to the College World Series the last two years and there are people saying he should go... That's more retarded than the War Chicken Corn Dog issue.
