Still doesn't excuse unprofessional journalism imo.

Then to call him out after the interview? Really? Are you that desperate for content filling? It's pathetic for a national radio host.

I fricking hate how we have another coach that is a fricking caricature to the public. We went from the grass eating mumbling clown, to the side show monster drinking farmer fran.

Yep. O is not taken seriously by opposing teams or the media. It's always "Ah cher, we takin' a pirogue out to da camp, make up an etouffee, an' pass a real good time ya hear!"

Sure, he can kiss them all he wants if he compiles a winning record as a head coach and unleashes a potent offensive unit.

LeBatard also, and idiotically gave away his MLB HOF vote to deadspin and was banned for it.

He seems to be highly regarded around the coaching ranks. Not sure what the hell you're talking about.

So coach o is getting burned even after his interview is over bc the reporter sucked at his job and hoped his random questions would lead to funny, unexpected responses, and it's anyone at LSU's fault?



Yes. That is the LeBatard show and how it is everyday.

If they didnt know what they were walking into, that's LSU's fault, not Dan's.

Then make sure your guy is prepared for the interview. But from Dan's perspective if you are the pro who's job it is to conduct interviews, how can you bash someone because of your epic fail? He didn't try to conduct a professional interview and then made it the fault of coach o and coaches in general.

Sounds like the interview was a very bad idea.

They do this with literally every guest. They never ask sports related questions. Sometimes it develops into a hilarious story and sometimes it's a train wreck. They don't pretend to be sports journalists and Dan says so every time someone complains. Dan will even interrupt claiming the show is getting too close to "serious sports talk" and just ask something dumb to get "back on track".

I get someone unfamiliar with the show being frustrated by the lack of serious lsu football talk. But this show has been around for years. If they didn't know what they were getting into, that is 100% on lsu and the people in charge of PR in the athletic dept.

Right. I figured it it were our people reaching out than they would have known what they were getting into....but apparently not. If they wanted to talk about and promote the program they should have gone with Russillo.

I am an idiot, for being frustrated with national media portraying our universities coaches as idiots?

Let's be honest here:
it is not fair to the press (as a rule, LeBatard may be an exception) if our head coach comes off as uneducated, inarticulate, coarse or something of a bumpkin.
Frankly, its difficult to fairly blame the head coach himself, although I believe he should make some efforts to polish his communications skills.
The person/ people who choose the head football coach, knowing he will likely be the most conspicuous media representative of the entire university, are to blame. This is an important part of the job.
And, YES, it is embarrassing.
