2theadvocate.com | Sports | Slocum loves new LSU hire — Baton Rouge, LA “A lot of guys come in with a big ego, especially when they’ve been a head coach like Steve, but he’s not that kind of guy,” Slocum said. “He’s very knowledgeable and will offer a lot, but he won’t come in and try to fight the head coach every step of the way. “You can very easily get too many chiefs in a situation like that — especially with the wonderful staff Les has put together — but that won’t happen with Steve. He will be a guy who comes in, gives his ideas and finds the best way to fit in.”
Team player- he'll fit in well and strengthen the strong "community" that already exists. Even in the workplace- outside of sports- a "good employee" is valued over a "good worker".
i lived in houston for 10 years while he was A&M coach and i can tell you that it was a mistake for A&M to let him go. All he did was win and just because he didnt win the big one a & M people got gready. If R.C. Slocum approves of him it is good enough for me. That man is all class and he handled what happenned with dignity and i respect him alot. Any man that does what he did for his family shows me he has life in perspective and all i can say is welcome to LSU. I cant explain it but i got a feeling this is the man we need to get this offense clicking.
