re: Is coach Ensminger making a case for keeping the OC job next year?

Ensminger was the QB coach at Auburn in 2003, but was basically a co-OC and had play calling duties. This was the year after Petrino left the Auburn OC job and got the Louisville job the first time.

It's hard to say who was most at fault, or if it was a too many cooks in the kitchen situation, but their offense was a complete disaster. This was the year that AU's pres and AD were fired for meeting with Petrino about the job when they were planning to fire Tubby. He ended up replacing most of his staff. However, it probably says something that Tubs kept him on as TE coach. But that was the last time before now that he was play caller.

I'm not saying this tells us one thing or another. He may have been a victim of circumstance at AU. He's obviously doing that better than that here now.
