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

Dialect, yes. Vocabulary & eloquence are definitely indicative of intelligence though. CEO is actually a fine public speaker & his interviews make more sense to me than anything I ever heard Les say lol — that dude was far more out there than O has ever been, but O is viewed as more of a character because of his tone of voice I guess.

Regardless, you gotta love the guy. Easy to pull for.

It is too easy for them and many get bloated egos with unrealistic expectations. It is more than just IQ. There is also Emotional Intelligence. You need both in this world.

Two of the smartest undergraduate students that I met at LSU didn't sound smart because of their thick accents. One was from Ferriday and the other New Iberia.

Anyone who ever tried to make that connection between dialect and intelligence is a slow learner themselves.

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're not too smart

Loved it when an announcer said “If jambalaya could talk, that’s what it would sound like”.
