re: Assuming Kiffin is a no go, who's your next call for OC?

Actually I did argue against it. You just think the argument is "retarded" because you "know" that Herman would have done so much better at LSU than Orgeron will.

Basically, you're too fricking stupid to even argue with.

Here is the argument against it and I'll preface this with saying that I DO think the search was a joke and that we should've hired Herman if at all possible.

- O won games with elite talent that he inherited from Miles
- O won games b/c of an elite DC
- O won games b/c he is an above average motivator
- O won games b/c he faced below average teams
- O won games b/c he didn't interfere with the offensive game plan. He let a position coach run the offense
- O lost a game b/c he played better competition vs. Bama AND b/c the O looked abysmal
- O lost an inexcusable game vs UF @ home to a 14 pt dog with the Sugar Bowl on the line. In that game we scored 10 though we should've scored at least 10 more.

Alleva F'ed up and went all in on JF and TH and whiffed.

O goes to Alleva with his sales pitch - our D is insane and I'll retain Aranda
- we can recruit with anyone and that won't change
- LSU has been a shitstain on O under Miles.
- Look what we accomplished with Ensminger at the helm. FKN ENSMINGER
- I will bring in an elite OC to match Aranda and the talent will remain world class

O didn't get the job based on his interim performance. He got it on his interim performance PLUS the promise to fix what was broken during his interim performance which was offense. That is a hangover from Miles pathetic O.

If you assume O got the gig based on his interim performance you say well Ensminger was part of that performance and he arguably did more than O.

But the offense was the problem during O's interim stint and he convinced Alleva that he could do what Miles couldn't - fix it. Maybe by promising to land Kiffin.

** plus Alleva's mishandling of the "search" left him high and dry so O looked more attractive.

O positioned it as Ensminger was my best option in the situation I inherited and we lost to Bama by 10 and should've beaten UF. Let me bring in my guy and I'll have us competing for the west.

We'll see if he can deliver.

But by no means has Ensminger earned an OC position.
