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.

Don't do the easy thing Ed, and hire a friend. That's Les's legacy and will be your undoing. GO GET THE BEST!!!

I would think Aranda would be higher in the pecking order than Canada

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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".

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.

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.

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.

Almost sounds like Orgeron wants him gone.

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.

Coach “O” is an Idiot ! Even if he wants the man gone he should support him for what he’s done here and not say “ I wish he gets another job” . Lets keep what we have in coach Canada and lets build on the success we’ve had.

Ensminger is exactly the kind of old ghoul I expect Orgeron to hire when his current assistants leave. Aranda may very well be gone after this season and I fully expect yaw yaw to hire another old ghoul on defense.

The fact that he hired an “old ghoul” like Canada last year led you to this conclusion?

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.

Lexman178 months
Exactly.

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.

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.

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.

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