A key asset of any college athletic department is alignment between coaches and administrators.
[autotag]Jay Johnson[/autotag], fresh off his first national championship with LSU, discusses the support he’s received from the school.
“I sat in front of them and wanted this worse than anything else in the world and believe that I could do it, that I could do it with this group,” Johnson said, per On3.
Johnson noted that athletic director [autotag]Scott Woodward[/autotag] has been involved with the building of the program too.
Johnson’s comments mirror similar things we’ve heard from coaches like [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] and [autotag]Kim Mulkey[/autotag]. With its own hires in place, LSU’s current administration is committed to its programs.
Look no further than school president [autotag]William Tate[/autotag] appearing and being vocal at most of LSU’s major sporting events.
The alignment bodes well for LSU’s future and the expectations will remain high for Johnson’s program, despite next year being a rebuilding one.
However, rebuilding at LSU baseball is a relative term.
