re: Question About “O’s Broken Promise” Narrative

The O premise was that he was going to be the organizational head, and would bring in the best coordinators and allow them full rein over their sides of the ball (I assume O was to coordinate between the two, to call for ball control when the defense is gassed, etc). That isn't happening, not on offense.
It became public knowledge that he tried to change the actual offensive approach in the Troy game, so he wasn't just going after tempo, he was going after the plays and scheme.
He has later said he's the coach, they will do what HE wants.
That isn't allowing the OC to run his system. So he's reneged on that part.
He did bring Canada in, and he's run him off after one season (in which the team didn't do too badly on offense). He's replaced Canada with Ensminger, the interim OC from the year before, the guy that was a reason he explicitly stated he would upgrade the coordinators (he wasn't referring to Aranda when he said he needed to bring in the best guys).
So he's reneged on that part, too.

The offense sucked the first several games of the season. O told Canada that LSU didn't yet have the personnel to run the offense Canada wanted to and that he needed to make changes. This actually occurred before the Troy game. Canada lost his cookies and got himself fired.
ETA: The offense improved over the course of the year, all at the same time Canada was vocal at practice saying "this ain't my offense".
