The LSU Tigers have one of the best head coaches in the sport of college baseball. Jay Johnson is an elite recruiter. He has put together one of the greatest staffs imaginable. Now, year after year, he's shown that his decision-making backs up the talent around his team as well.

After his team grabbed a berth in the MCWS finals against Coastal Carolina, the Tigers skipper shared some heartfelt thoughts about this year's team.
