Like Trent Johnson?
What a dumb example. No I would rather a good coach. And there are a lot more outside of the state than here.
If you are looking for a Louisiana or LSU guy you are limiting yourself to a bunch of shitty coaches.

I don't disagree with your overall theme, but to say that TJ is a bad example is stupid. It's an actual real life example. I'm an anti La guy hire, but to act like fit doesn't matter is stupid.

Trent came to LSU after being the COY in two different conferences and taking to two different schools on deep tournament runs. On paper it was a good hire. Unfortunately he was a West Coast guy who just didn't fit in the recruiting landscape down here. He had ZERO ties to LSU or Louisiana, and it didn't work out. His lack of LA connections probably hurt him, because he proved he could get results when he had the talent (he steamrolled through the SEC in '08-09)
I don't mind hiring a coach with "Louisiana ties" if he his the right guy. LSU shouldn't limit itself one way or the other.
