LSU baseball coach Paul Mainieri, who led the Tigers to the 2009 national championship and is No. 1 among active NCAA Division I coaches in career victories, announced Friday that he will retire at the end of the 2021 season.
Mainieri, whose collegiate career spans 39 seasons ā including the past 15 years at LSU ā will coach the Tigers in the 2021 NCAA Tournament should they receive a berth in the 64-team field.
The 63-year-old Mainieri has a 1,501-774-8 (.659) career record that includes six seasons at St. Thomas (1983-88), six seasons at Air Force (1989-94), 12 seasons at Notre Dame (1995-2006) and 15 seasons at LSU (2007-21). He is No. 7 all-time among NCAA Division I Baseball coaches in career wins.
He is one of only five coaches in NCAA Division I Baseball history to win 1,500 games and a national championship.

There has been some rumbling about him retiring.
But he did well for the Tigers for 15 years. But maybe a new head coach will pick up the Tiger program, which to some fans have slipped in the past few seasons. This season was sure a disappointment.

One more miracle for LSU - at least make it to the CWS - what an ending for Coach Mainieri.
Come on Tigers.
