Ed Orgeron Defends LSU OC Matt Canada During Radio Show

Come on Tiger fans. It's one game. I don't like that they lost MissState either, but there is still a huge chunk of a season left. Get off the coaches back and enjoy the thrill of the competition. Do your thing Tigers!

Orgeron said #LSU is going to have a 6/7-man protection implemented into the offense. Limits receivers but says staff has good plan in place 6/7-man protection Is the oline that bad? I can see the need to pick up blitz and all but this as a steady diet seems limiting the offense

"Tremendous" is the new "Want"

So we are keeping 7 in to block but also getting it to the TE/RB.

It still feels like progress somehow. Do your thing, coaches.

I thought that it was going to take a while for this complicated offense to run smoothly. Canada has a great offensive mind and it may take some time to get the kinks worked out. We obviously need improvement on offense but I want to see what Canada can do over the course of the season to get us going.

Im sure Canada is a great coach with the right players. I dont think this LSU team has the right players for him

I finally see why he's been fired from multiple jobs.

If you look at the game, the offense had some very bright spots, things that worked beautifully, and even the ground game worked on the drive where we didn't have flags thrown on us. If it were not for the penalties we would have worn State out and the outcome would have been totally different. I don't think people realize how much momemtum plays in a game. Everytime we had the slightest momemtum a huge flag was thrown and it wore on these young guys. It's not like we had zero offense or nothing worked or wasn't moving the ball. Same with stopping State we stopped them several times. Penalties had a bigger impact then people realize and that's on O but to say he sucks as a coach after that or that this team is terrible is a huge overreaction. Remember this team isn't even at full strength. O won't get any respect until he beats a ranked team away. Period which is ok, he needs to prove he can do that, and do it looking good, dominating. GT

His offense works great outside the SEC but not on SEC teams with a pulse on defense. It's designed for undisciplined defenses that can't keep up with the motions/pace. It will not work in the SEC. I knew this when we hired him and saw all those tapes. The little jet sweep stuff or quick passes will get ate up by any defense that has team speed. It's just like when Sumlin tried to bring his spread philosophy over A&M usually looks great until they hit the meat of their SEC schedule and get dominated by teams like LSU. The only coach with these flashy modern offenses that understood how to adapt it to SEC was Urban Meyer. He understood a spread works great against teams like Bama as long as you can cram it down the heart of the defense with a power philosophy. You don't have that power scheme anything else gets eaten alive.

"Tremendous"

jury's out on this...wait-see

I guess the triple option with jet sweeps is a complete "bust" in the SEC. Canada is on the record stating that his offense is simple. He is not lying there. Todd Grantham took him to school and rendered his gimmicky offense useless.

Saban would have snapped at every question asking about the last game. Shoulda pulled a Belichick and responded to every question with "we're on to Syracuse"

It's a good thing South Carolina isn't on the schedule...

These comments gave me cancer. What do you expect him to say? To call out Canada and threw him under the bus?

This has gotten a bit out of hand. People really need to calm down.

Did anyone ask about the OL& DL getting their shite pushed in all night?

Just. Curious. Wasn't MSU's DC from the ACC? Wonder if he'd seen Canada's offense before.

Why did LSU hire another Line Coach after the Les Miles fiasco?
