LSU head coach Ed Orgeron addressed the media after Saturday's win over Texas A&M and was asked about the possibility of offensive coordinator Matt Canada leaving the team for a head coach opportunity at another school.

Orgeron responded by saying that he does expect Canada to pursue head coaching opportunities with all the job openings that are now available.

Well, hell.

LoveThatMoney•77 months

If he leaves, frick em. If he stays, will support him til he sells out. His offense has been fine, but I don't think he's some sort of revelation or anything.

eugene1928LSU•77 months

me either

Datbayoubengal•77 months

His offense would be crazy with a dual threat, but he isn't going to get the time to do it. If Ed O goes after another pro style jack arse, I'm going to lose my shite.

jmarto1•77 months

I don't blame the guy for giving it a shot. There are a lot of vacancies. That being said, he doesn't have the strongest resume imo.

Lexman1•77 months

Agreed

ImayGoLesMiles•77 months

You can't blame him for leaving if he's offered a hc job somewhere and that is his dream. If he does leave, we will be hire a good coordinator and be just fine. I trust O hiring coordinators honestly. Also, off topic, I think it's time for some of these O bashes to give the man the credit he is due. He did a marvelous job this year keeping this team focused after a lackluster start. This season could have turned out bad, but he got them back on track and finished the season strong. Congrats to coach orgeron and his staff on a job well done and I'm looking forward to a good recruiting cycle and a good season next year. Geaux tigers!

Jrv2damac•77 months

You guys sure manufactured the frick out of something.

Lexman1•77 months

Ain’t that the truth. Everyone has him gone already. I haven’t heard of anyone offering him a job yet! As for O, I doubt he wants Canada gone. Why would he? Ridiculous

sheek•77 months

This is why I was against the O hire. For scenarios like this. You are constantly hitting the reset button on schemes. It causes continuity issues.

jmarto1•77 months

It's not a problem with O. It's a problem with being a top program. The next step is an HC job for a lot of these guys.

AustinKnight•77 months

Tru that. Supposedly keeping hands off areas he has less knowledge in right? Bull shite ego takes over once again

tenderfoot tigah•77 months

This has been killing Clemson since hiring their WR coach as HC.

Art fricking Briles...

Free mace for coeds.

Sid in Lakeshore•77 months

Almost sounds like Orgeron wants him gone.

Lexman1•77 months

Doubtful. He just realizes the nature of the business. Everyone who coaches wants to be the head coach. Plus, Canada has only stayed at any job 1-2 years. So you have to be prepared to replace any coach on a yearly basis.

ByUselves•77 months

Least they coming after our coordinators & not our HC .roflmao

FLObserver•77 months

i'm fine if he leaves not like he was bringing anything revolutionary to our offense.

tigerpawl•77 months

This. I just don't see what all the shouting's about. This was a very boring offense. And no lectures about the QB talent, please. Never did like this hire. He had a one-word resume: Clemson. And in typical LSU personnel moves, it will be out of the frying pan, into the fire. I miss Mark Emmert.

Fat Bastard•77 months

Right dumbass. His horizontal stretch concepts which worked and opened up vertical runs were terrible? You prefer les miles predictable play in a phone booth only??

oleheat•77 months

Well, the Prozac Wing of the fanbase has spoken. ??????

whoyodaddy•77 months

For all those who wanted Tom Herman, after his marvelous 1st season at UT, he may wish to come here soon-as the OC.

Goldrush25•77 months

He's got the #2 recruiting class incoming. I'm guessing he'll wait to see how those kids pan out.

jeff70121•77 months

So, it would be difficult to copy all the shifts, motions, jet sweeps, shovel passes, etc.? I'll bet you right now that Ensminger could run the exact same offense.

Lexman1•77 months

Exactly.

Datbayoubengal•77 months

Why do y'all, including O, want to go backwards with the offense? I think Canada's offense would explode under a dual threat QB, and we need to continue that by now going after a spread OC. Kendal Briles took FAU from 72th in total offense and 80th in scoring offense, to 16th and 10th respectively, in one year. I'm not saying to go after him, but to go after a guy like him.

Datbayoubengal•77 months

CapitalCityTiger•77 months

Why the hell would our program go with Ensminger as OC? With all the failing HCs there will also be a bunch of amazing OCs that are looking for jobs after realizing Head Coach was not for them.

Lexman1•77 months

Because Ensminger knows Canada’s system (as do all of the offensive assistants), and can continue without having to install another offense next year. It’s called continuity. Not to mention, I wasn’t that impressed with Canada anyway. All of the pre snap movements didn’t really amount to much. He did throw down field much more with varied results, but Ensminger can do that as well. I would like to see Canada stay, but if he goes, the Tigers will be just fine.

tigerpawl•77 months

Good news/bad news. Good news: Canada high-tails it. Bad news: here we go again... we have the entire frickin' country to explore but only look "down the bayou".

Fat Bastard•77 months

Wow. You’re a moron if you think Canada sucks. Educate yourself

Cadello•77 months

I'd be ok with it if we can hire a OC genius. All that shifting was making me dizzy.

ShamelessPel•77 months

We canned Les Miles to hire the bootleg, less successful version. Un-fricking-believable No big name OCs are going to want to coach under CEO when he’s treating guys like Canada this poorly year one.

geauxbrown•77 months

Don't know much about the real world do you? As Saban has always said.....it's about the money. No one gives a crap how they will be treated if they're making bank. Hell, if that was the case, no one would ever coach for Saban. He chews his coaches asses out on national TV.

Sid in Lakeshore•77 months

Can you explain how "Poorly" he is treating poor old mistreated Canada? Damn morons on this board.

ShamelessPel•77 months

Him and Canada haven’t seen eye to eye for awhile now from multiple accounts. You can hear his disapproval for the offense in between the line and how he “knows what he wants”. How often do you see the HC lobbying to find his OC any HC job this hard by the way? Don’t get the lovefest for CEO again. His success is built around having two quality coordinators, something we appear to have currently. Why fix what isn’t currently broken?

He gone!

Cracking•77 months

Canada's offensive system has improved over the course of the season, and now you even see a lot of other team's copying the pre snap shifts and jet sweep fakes/gives to slow down and confuse defenses. I'll be disappointed if Canada leaves, but unfortunately it appears that coach O and coach Canada are not bonding. I worry about the carousel of coordinators effecting recruiting and player development more than the system though. I am hoping we can have a competent system in place for 3-4 years before changing things up.
