Can he call plays again? Thx

Load Toad•79 months

LSU should be getting money back after losing to Troy.

Shooter•79 months

This tells me that they’re keeping O and staff past this year.

GeauxTigersLee•79 months

Did you think the Administration would bail this quickly? Doing so would prove they made the wrong choice and they won't do that publicly.

Lexman1•79 months

I already told you that. It’s called a buyout clause. O isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. Ensminger is an asset to the program and probably should be calling the plays on offense. He did very well in that capacity last year, albeit with veteran leadership on the line. Still, congrats Steve!

Lexman1•79 months

A $12 million buyout tells me he’s staying. And $6 million next year. And when we’re back on top, everyone will say, “I told you that guy could coach.”

LSU FSU Grad•79 months

I don't think ANY coach should be getting raise right now.

beauchristopher•79 months

It makes no sense. Wish we could have a clean house. No offense to Steve.

Lexman1•79 months

His contract ended in March. He was operating on a rollover year, so maybe there was a deadline to extend or cancel.

Sid in Lakeshore•79 months

Your opinion is irrelevant.

Old•79 months

Outstanding CFB athlete

Mr.Perfect•79 months

Ensminger doesn't deserve negative comments. He's an asset to this team.

Lexman1•79 months

Agree

CajunSoldier225•79 months

Yup

Bonkers119•79 months

Fire O and make him Interim HC.

PortHudsonPlaya•79 months

Lose to Troy, get a raise. Makes sense.

Gumbo1•79 months

Yea, it was all Ensminger's fault we loss. Seems to me we got at least one TE touchdown pass during the Troy game. You are a moron PortHudsonLooza

Disgeaux Bob•79 months

I'm not saying he didn't deserve the pay raise but the timing of this is incredibly bad.

prepsportsallday•79 months

Well that depends on when his contract was up... I guess

tigerbutt•79 months

His contract was up in March read the damn article.

sportsaddit68•79 months

Tell me again how a TE coach lost us the game to Troy? This man seems to be a better play caller than our current OC. He deserved a raise.

Techdog89•79 months

Ensminger has been a solid asset as a coach and recruiter for the Tigers for his whole time here. Bleeds purple and gold without asking for any credit for what he did last year. Total team player! Great job Steve!

beauchristopher•79 months

He’s solid but why now with so much uncertainty lol

TheHat7•79 months

Alleva attempt to create stability I guess. Fix the rift on the coaching staff ?? Will tbey make a move on Canada if offense struggles? That woudknt be smart but they are already in desperation mode 5 games in. Wow

Big Sway•79 months

It is what it is, and you do what you have to do.

prepsportsallday•79 months

Congrats to a great guy!

diat150•79 months

Seems weird to be paying a TE coach that much especially when LSU hasn't developed a decent TE in decades.

Nix to Twillie•79 months

This tells me O is firing Canada in a matter of weeks, maybe days.

Catman88•79 months

Why the hell are we extending contracts? How stupid can this department actually get?

GulfstreamTiger•79 months

We heard you the 3rd time. Remember last year when he came in to pinch hit as OC. This is his reward.

Catman88•79 months

WPsportsman•79 months

Heard the word raise and immediately got hot but then saw the name Steve and it went away.. only one that deserves a raise. Really like Steve, congrats Easy E !

GulfstreamTiger•79 months

Rewarding his loyalty. Good call

Sid in Lakeshore•79 months

Agreed. We need more like him. Professional, dependable, competent. Well done, Steve.
