Coach O has proven that your dialect doesn't equate to low IQ.

All the fools who were quoting him saying "yawbaw sho benuf" and other dumb crap and calling him a shrimp boat captain because of how he sounds when he speaks are the type of people who stereotype without all the evidence. The evidence is in. Our coach is awesome and smart and surrounds himself with good coaches and people. Don't hate.

Are you saying shrimp boat captains have a low IQ?

If you had to guess which team O was coaching, without knowing, most people would say LSU. He fits us so well, and yesterday proved that he knows what he's doing.

Ever been up to Boston & heard that Southie drawl? That West Texas twang? He did not get from a shrimp boat to where he is now in life by being stupid. Terry Bradshaw was called dumb, too, and all those championship rings aside, he's a multi millionaire now. Anyone calling him dumb any more?

Coach O is quite actually genius. He lures people into thinking he’s some dumb backwater guy, but in reality, he’s quite far from that. His work ethic is stupendous, and his passion is beyond compare, but his real secret weapon is that he is NOT SELFISH, and doesn’t have to feed some ego that is bigger than life itself. I can say the same for Steve Ensminger as well. I know Brady gets a tremendous amount of credit, and deservingly so, but let’s not forget Steve. There simply aren’t many OC in this country willing to share the seat and the glory that goes with it with a guy who’s easily young enough to be his son. It takes a special person, and a special love for LSU to do that, and it needs to be said.

It's not like he even says stupid shite. Les Miles talked way more funny than Coach O. Coach O just has a crazy gravelly voice.

It’s more about EQ than IQ. He has both. IQ delivers ideas. EQ inspires execution and greatness.

He in no way has proven this.

Agreed 100%. Coach O, if you actually listen to the SUBSTANCE & CONTENT of what he says, is obviously an intelligent guy.

Same thing happened to Sylvester Stallone when he was younger. Because his real-life voice sounded a lot like Rocky, some people assumed he wasn't too bright. I was always like, "Come on, people. Stallone created that character and wrote the screenplay. He's a smart guy."

You can be extremely football smart and have a high football IQ and not necessarily be book smart. The two or a false equivalency. Added to say, I’m not saying that Coach O is not smart or Booksmart I’m just saying it’s not the same kind of smart.

You and others may have proven poor quality posts with obvious agenda/bias behind them may very well equate to low IQs.

Saban is a football genius but I am not sure he could to trig or calculus very well. There are different type of smarts.

I’ve talked to some really intelligent people from down the bayou that you wouldn’t have guessed with their Cajun drawl.

And who here knows him well enough as a person to say he is not book smart? All we know about him is his public, i.e. LSU HC, persona.

You think football coaches or people to be genius to succeed. You must be under 40. Most genius people don’t amount to shite in real life
