This is so refreshing to hear when the national narrative is it’s LSU so we have to hire some idiot dancing monkey with a name ending in eaux. Because it’s our “culture”. Just give us someone that works hard as hell and wins. He mentions Jay Johnson had 0 Louisiana connections before arriving and looking how great he has been.

Agree - it’s a stupid narrative that is literally a backhand to La

He’s not breaking new ground here. Saban was not from here. Skip was from Miami. No shite- find a winner no matter where he is.

The national media just attaches “cultural fit” to us because they still think of Louisiana as a backwater swamp that’s beneath the rest of the country.

It takes reading this board for 5 minutes to see that this belief is accurate. Sorry if it hurts feelings, but it's the truth.

Matt Flynn also had a great comment this morning on OTB about what is a good fit at LSU.

He said someone who is genuine, authentic, and true to themselves. Someone that understands that when you accept a job paying you $10 million a year it means that job is your life. You are totally committed, in every way possible, to the job you accepted. You respect the history and traditions of the state and program.

He said Jay Johnson epitomizes that 100%.

Jay Johnson is from California and is all LSU. Mulkey is from Tickfaw and is all LSU.

The cultural fit narrative started with Miles eating grass, then Orgeron being a shrimp boat captain. The miles thing was overdone and a media narrative. The best coach LSU has ever had, didn’t know or care about any of that nonsense.

He talked about Dale Brown, Charlie Mac, and others that weren’t from Louisiana. Hanagriff was right on this

Literally no one believes that around the country. They think we live perpetually with unrealistic expectations.

The “fit” comment isn’t always just about having an accent. It’s about the personality and not being fake. Many people in the national media think Lane Kiffin would be a perfect fit for LSU. He’s not from the south at all.

They didn’t say BK doesn’t “fit” because he doesn’t have an accent. They say he doesn’t “fit” because he fake an accent.
