re: Are we just going to ignore Napier was fired from Clemson?

I don’t understand why people keep saying “he’s one of us.”

This foolish tendency was thoroughly addressed by Kurt Vonnegut Jr in Cat's Cradle. He coined the term "granfalloon" to describe a false coterie. "Hoosiers" was the group he poked the most fun at.

Vonnegut's point was a good one. Your "group" is not some granfalloon based on where you were born; it is an association of philosophically similar people. In the case of LSU's next coach, who cares where he is from?
