There must be some truth to Ensminger calling plays based on several player comments. Putting this into perspective I just can't believe O would panic like this considering he did the same thing at Ole Miss. Hell he publicly talked about it. As frustrating as it was Canada JUST installed the fkin offense!!! Jesus Christ how can he be so short sided... We all said simplify some things ok sure but to panic and have Ensminger calling plays this early ?? That probably immediately divided the coaches & players & surely pissed Canada off badly.. You hired him Coach O.. You know shite about offense.. You hit the eject button on an offense in its infancy.. I hope this pissed the entire offense off and tbey start hanging 35 on every sec team. Unacceptable regardless of how bad it was a quarter into the damn season. What if O stays out and we do best Troy?
What if we somehow go on a run? If we somehow upset UF & AU imo it will make O look worse at this point if the offense comes alive. LINK

My main take is that it's fuching horseshite that those kids have to go out there and take these questions when the coordinators make north of 1.5 mil each.

If 18 and 19 year old kids have to do media sessions then the entire coaching staff should as well.

So arse backwards.

I know. They have a disaster on their hands and O is panicking and doesn't know how to fix it.

Honestly I would rather have Canada or Aranda making decisions. It scares me that this man is calling shots right now. I was under the impression that he wasn't going to do this.

It's like this entire coaching staff took their fat contracts they just got from LSU (without a doubt the biggest ones in their career) and said frick it, we are set for life now, and whether we are successful or not, me and mine are set for life. That's what it kinda looks like right now, and it fricking pisses me off. They better start earning their fricking money bc this is bullshite. All of that we are young, we are injured, we have no depth, we lack talent...that's for the birds. You coach with what you have and get the best out of the players you do have. Bunch of fricking bs excuses for them slacking at their jobs is what it is. I guarantee you that even with our roster and all of the issues and the "lack of talent", that there are a shitload of teams, some ranked in the top 25, that would love to trade their overall rosters with LSUs. I'm tired of the bullshite, it's time for these coaches to fricking coach these players. This big of a dropoff within months doesn't happen without it being a coaching problem, a locker room problem, or a combo of the two. If I made excuses like orgeron has to my boss for my poor performance, my arse would be fired regardless. What makes his arse any different?

Definitely. I liked the offense we ran last yer with ensminger at the helm. I would switch back to it in a heart beat and tell Canada to shove it if we could, but that's not happening. Canada does too much of that motion shite, if your gonna pass the ball, pass the damn ball, if your gonna run the ball, run the damn ball. He's not fooling anyone with this Pittsburgh acc bullshite motion and shifting before the snap, all its doing is tiring our playmakers out before the ball is even snapped. It's too much trying to be cute bullshite if you ask me.

Right now I get why you are saying that but O didn't retain Ensminger as OC he hired Canada. It was too soon to panic and you must stay the course when new stuff is implemented. Shows no patience.

A lot of what we saw vs Troy is E. That's kind of the point of the thread...

It would be a classic SEC game if Lsu went down to UF and beat them in a hard fought game.

Wait a minute, as soon as we got our assess handed to us by State everyone on this board wanted his head on a platter. He didn't interfere with the play calling. Then we struggled against Cuse. Didn't interfere with playcalling and everyone wanted him gone for hiring Canada. Interfered with Troy and we lost and people bitched that he shouldn't have interfered. Now everyone is saying that he should have let Canadas keep running that offense? Wtf? At some point you have to step in as a head coach and make a change. Canadas offense ain't working. That's on Canada (and O but Canada included nonetheless). With the fan base rabid at the mouth about wanting him gone he has to try something, anything. I can't fault him for that.

O has to go but y'all's excuses are all over the place. Place the blame where it belongs.

Canadas offense sucks. Arandas D is hurt and struggling. O is at fault bc he's the head coach of it and that's the way it works.

Who said this? Where can I see these player interviews?

I can't believe we have another situation where the OC is going to leave and say, "what you saw at LSU was NOT my offense".

Canada hasn't done well. I get consulting with Canada on ways to simplify things. I get that right now we'd love the production Ensminger had. However you don't bail and give Ensminger play calling duties or insert him this soon. That's crazy. Canadas offense has been successful and he was hanging 50+ on some good football teams last year. He was Pretty Successful at Nc state during first year. I'm sure there were struggles early. O should not have done that so soon for so many reasons.

It's in the OP's link. Quotes from players saying this like Etling and Clap and even O said he meddled but it's Matt's offense going forward.

Running multiple offenses in a game is annoyingly stupid. And these men make seven figures.
