Looks to me like BK is bringing the Notre Dame mentality with him. By that I mean while even the biggest of college football's "big dogs" (Bama, tOSU, Oklahoma, etc) have national appeal, there is still a very predominant regional flavor about them. Notre Dame, on the other hand, is almost exclusively a national brand. I'm not feeling very good about this. LSU has to first and foremost be a Louisiana brand; we have too much home grown talent to first think about the whole country as our recruiting base. Convince me I'm wrong.
I hear you and agree that we must be Louisiana first. But BK's first hire was Frank Wilson and he kept Baton Rouge native Brad Davis. The only move that concerns me so far is Cory leaving. But that may not be all on BK, seems like there was something simmering with Cory already.
Also, we've had a great recruiting staff the last couple of years and here we are. Maybe we were heavy on recruiting talent and light on coaching talent
LSU fans are used to catastrophe syndrome… cbk has a 10 yr contract and he is going to make changes as he/woodward see fit… he knows how to win a nc having won 2, and knows how to run a program we’re in better hands than we’ve been in a long time, and I think frank wilson being back as rc is a big deal…
