LSUDad Posted June 10 Author Share Posted June 10 Mainieri, who won the 2009 national championship at LSU, has been out of baseball for the last three seasons after retiring as the Tigers coach following the 2021 season. Mainieri, 66, would bring an impressive pedigree. He was a head coach for 39 seasons at LSU, Notre Dame, Air Force and St. Thomas (Fla.) and ranks eighth all-time in wins with 1,505. Mainieri led LSU to the national championship in 2009 and a runner-up finish in 2017. He is one of 13 coaches to lead two different programs to the College World Series and was named Baseball America Coach of the Year in 2009. When Mainieri retired three years ago, sources said he stepped down because of health issues, as he suffered from migraine headaches in 2021. After his retirement, however, Mainieri has never gone far from coaching. He was involved in coaching searches at Notre Dame in 2022 and Miami in 2023 before passing on both opportunities.
