re: Good On3 Article About BK Recruiting and Staff Hires

Part of me feels it's due to the last two head coaches being viewed almost as cartoon characters. You had the grass eating Mad Hatter in Les Miles & the shirt ripping, heavy Cajun accented Ed Orgeron. That's what the media tries to associate LSU football with so they immediately pounced on Kelly to try to fit him into that same category.

That's an interesting take. Hadn't thought about it like that but it makes sense. Also think that all the bad publicity involving LSU from the year or so leading up to the BK hire painted us in a pretty bad light and could have had something to do with it as well. The media would've pounced regardless of who we hired.
