re: What was your reaction after listening to Jay Johnson’s introductory press conference

Sounded like a Saban type that wasn’t scared of the expectations..

I fought the urge to say this but it's what I had in the back of my mind as I listened to his press conference. He even used a Kevin Elko quote "What's Important Now". Elko has been working with Saban and other NFL coaches for years. So he might be similar in construct but with a little better personality.

I felt solid after the announcement of the hire. I'm feeling even better after listening to the entire press conference. He's got a solid foundation, a strong blue print, he's process oriented and is focusing on the right things. He's totally invested in his players and their complete development with an overarching goal of putting the best product on the field and continuing the LSU brand. He's got a vision and understands what he wants to do to get there. At least in the early going it looks like LSU got this hire right. Time will tell, but I absolutely loved the quote "teams are going to hate to play us".

Geaux Tigers!
