If you knew this already, good for you. Here is his bio

Got a text from the retired Auburn High head coach who is good friends with Ensminger.

As long as he is not calling the plays, I think it's a good hire. Qb and te experience

What the hell happened in 1998? Offensive coordinator at Clemson, then unemployed for a year and then a high school coach from 2000-2003?

Talk about a career that got derailed. Sounds like the Ed Orgeron story. Anybody know the details?

The good news is he can be used as a QB coach as well.

One could speculative that Ensminger and/or Gonzales could be used as OC as well, while Gary Crowton gets the Bobby Bowden treatment.

Oh lord have mercy. It's official, I've become a nega-tiger.

This guy was QB coach at Auburn since 2003. Other than 2004, Jason Campbell's senior year, what in the world makes any of you think this guy would be a good QB coach? And after a fast start his career has been dubious at best since 1998 as an offensive coordinator.

I used to be the kool-aid drinker on this board. Things sure have changed...glad to see you guys can still see the silver lining in anything LSU does.

TE coach isn't very important in the grand scheme of things, but any talk of this guy being QB coach or stealth offensive coordinator just leaves me speechless.

I hope this isn't accurate.

steve ensminger isn't the brightest bulb on the tree .. and that is why his coaching ascension died after the clemson gig ... he was an average at best QB at LSU and couldn't latch on with the saints as the #3 QB ... the previous poster pointing out jason campbell's slow development makes a good point .. especially now that campbell is a starting QB in the NFL ..

all the ensminger family offspring seem to be steered away from LSU .. to this day steve is still bitter that he had to split time at QB with david woodley .. who incidentally took the dolphins to the super bowl ..

Damn. I don't really pay that much attention to coaches at other schools. He's starting to sound horrible.

personally .. i see him as a younger version of lynn amedee .. minus the 18 coaching jobs in 20 years string he had on his resume ... just another guy bitter at LSU deep down trying to resurrect their coaching career here because there are no other options ..

he can't recruit. This was the laziest hire Miles could make so he did it.

The rant already seems to know everything about Ensminger and most people seem upset (can't recruit, can't develop qb's, blah blah blah). Maybe Miles should have asked the rantards for suggestions prior to hiring somebody.
