I'm not sure Patterson has the personality to be successful at LSU. Being head coach at LSU comes with public relations expectations that just do not exist at TCU. LSU fans will tolerate a lot from coaches who win, but they also expect access to the coach whether directly or indirectly through the media. Can an old dog like Patterson learn new tricks? I don't know the answer, but he hasn't impressed me as being comfortable with attention from the media with the limited exposure I've witnessed.

What? LSU fans don't give a shite about a coaches comfortability with the media as long as he wins big. Nick Saban despises the media, and frankly the media doesn't like him. Do you think LSU fans wouldn't welcome him back with open arms?

I don't give a shite if the HC never gives a press conference as long as he wins on Saturday. As a fan, the only thing I'm "entitled" to is that the seat I purchase is available when I show up to the game on Saturday.
