Candidates pros and cons

What the frick does culture fit mean?

I agree with this list but if I never hear "culture fit" again after we hired yawyaw coachogeauxtigers, it'll be too soon.

Sounds like Napier is the best of the bunch

Cons: Culture Fit. No recruiting ties to the south. Doesn't really bring expertise to either side of the ball.

The frick?

Literally the thing fans and players say most about him is how strong of a "culture" guy he is. He is a great locker room builder.

Absolutely should be in the "pro" list.

Just because you aren't from Louisiana or have experience coaching there doesn't mean there's a culture fit problem. Saban?

The only one of the coaches named here that Woodward would even remotely consider is Riley.

The rest of these guys have virtually no history (more than 1 or 2 years) of success against power 5 competition. You really think Woodward would put his legacy on the line with any one these gambles. It is just not Scott's M. O.!

“Culture” fit means understanding that s. Louisiana high school prospects have a different attitude I.e. “culture,” than most of the rest of the South. That means successfully recruiting and coaching those people takes a different approach.

If you deny it, you are not conversant with what goes on down those little back roads in the river parishes. And you have never lived elsewhere in the heart of the South and seen rural small town football culture there.

After a new LSU coach has established his own culture, his older players will help perpetuate that attitude. But it has to be established first and the new coach needs to understand what is in that current LSU locker room and from whence that attitude comes.

There is a reason top LSU players have been quitting, opting out, “injured with six games to play,” etc. for 8-10 years. Fournette, Guice, Key, etc., full-in-the-blanks, are all symptomatic of a bad culture going back to Peruloux. They each learned the me-first from older players like an in-mate learns from other cons.

The source? - (1) Louisiana culture itself declaring “I do de same ting too if I be dat man (Edwin Edwards).”(2) Perriloux split the team in 2008 and it was condoned by Miles who acceded to player control with team votes. If you watched the LSU receivers refuse to block for Jefferson in the 1-9-12 game because they were pouting about the game plan, you will recognize the issue.,

Afterwords, Fournette getting to chose what games to play in (Florida) was the same culture system perpetuated by O.

An incoming coach better be aware of the issues and be willing to clean house. No other team in the SEC has this opt out, me-first problem anywhere close to what exists at LSU.
