This is a very confusing situation. Canada gets props for the way he is handling it.

I don't think it's over with this guy just yet. If he can put his ego down for a second, and if O can do the same, we have a huge offensive game against ND and they hug it out after. Maybe they can mend the issues after all. Keep him for another 2 years, at least try to make it work. We recruited to this offense, now let's try to make it go somewhere.

I am hoping the same, but this has been public and messy. I don't know that there is any coming back at this point.

It has been messy but if two people share a common goal they can make it work...

So the word yesterday was that he's leaving. Today, the man himself said he would like to stay. Confusing to say the least.

These comments are a smart move on Canada's part. He's painting O and Alleva into a corner. Now if he leaves they can't say it was a mutual parting of the ways. Once again, Alleva gets outmanuevered by someone smarter.

Not hard to out maneuver Alleva or Orgeron.

He needs to stay! He is a good OC. He will get picked up by another SEC team quickly.

First off, this is big time college football! Everyone has a big ego! It’s called competition! You think Little Nicky doesn’t have an ego? Think again. And his coaches do what he wants or he sends them packing! Same at any workplace. The boss dictates to his/her employees what to do, and they do it or they’re fired. There’s no negotiation. No participation trophies. Do it or hit the road!

The difference in here is O’Flintsone said that he learned from his Time at ole miss that you have to let your coached coach. Guess he forgot about that.

The difference is we have a freaking shrimp boat captain as a HC. Ogre will never be Saban.... hell he would never be McElwain..... he better be damned careful.... get the wrong assistants and he will be gone quick. Guy is totally dependent on having great coordinators.

They should lock the coaches in a room with a couple handles of Jim Beam and not let them leave til they’re empty and the boys resolve their problems.

If Matt Canada truly wants to be here next season and is not retained...heads need to roll. Next season will be a shite show without him with a the built in "new system" bs excuse.

I want to see what happens with this offense next year. O and Canada both have egos, but it's time to be men and put those aside for real success. Petty "this is my offense" or "we do what I want" bullshite doesn't work, and there's especially no room for it at this level. Give up temporary battle ground to win the war together.

I would like to see Canada stay, but he should have found some humility a bit earlier. The knock on him is he isn't easy to work with, and I'm sure O isn't upset for no reason.

Ya bc O must be so easy to work with. Imagine having to work for someone who is worse than you at their job in every way

Carson, you should know better. You meet him and talk to him, you will come away with two things: you will not out work him, and he recruits in a genuine manner. He doesn't come across as sleazy. Recruiters are usually human garbage lol

Ed is upset because Canada had to go over his head to get Alleva to make him mind his own fricking business and let Canada do his job. It was that bad, and the results showed earlier in the season. Wouldn't you do the same. Ed is a child.

I'd like to keep this guy around another year. Hopefully we can whoop that ND arse with an offense spitting fire, defense locking shite down and the rest takes care of itself. It'd be nice to have a stable offseason for once and for players not to have to learn ANOTHER new offensive system.

Offense explodes on national tv for a ton of points and LSU fires the offensive coach

I could not care less He can leave, he'll have job number 5 or 6 in less than 10 years.

qb draws and TE over the middle opens up the outside space for receivers and backs out of the backfield, even I know this, so does Brady and Belichek.

Lexman176 months
Thank you, TigerSpray! Finally, someone gets it! My screaming at the tv has not been in vain! Will you take over as OC?
user avatar

@Lexman1 I think you should probably just take over

First of all I love me some Coach O! But wrong is wrong Coach O had no business making OC Matt Canada simplify the offense before the Troy game I'm sure Canada express his disapproval over the decision. And the results of that decision is evident as the offense was stagnant and we lost to a non conference opponent at home. Coach O said when he first got the job that he learned his lesson from his Ole Miss days to let his coordinators do their jobs and don't interfere and he renege on that really fast. Coach O has to realize we're breaking in a new QB and a new running game next season, we don't need them trying to learn a new system our O-Line should be real solid great even if Clapp, Weathersby and Brumfield come back. The only thing that can hurt us is the QB's don't get a grasp on the new offense a new OC bring in and we waste what could be a very special season. So Coach O put that cajun pride to the side and do what's best for the program not what's best for you don't be stubborn because we know where that got the previous HC.

I am tired of coaching instability in our program. Canada is the highest paid OC in the land, yet he is still unhappy and generally being a baby backed bitch. Unless this gets straight in a damn hurry, I say we hire someone like Freeze and move on.

I love how he was a shitty OC all year according to fans. Now all of the sudden he's amazing and those same fans are pouting because he's most likely gone.

I see an opportunity for a coup, one that even Alleva could get in on behind O's back to save his own arse [could even take credit for it when it proves successful]. Matt Canada and Dave Aranda could potentially collude on the prospect that Canada remains as OC if Aranda is promoted to HC. Even if O found out, what is he going to do, fire Aranda too? It would be a death sentence not only for Ed, but also Alleva. Such a move would force Alleva's hand if the public could get behind it, which is already taking place. We all know Aranda wants the job and probably hates working for a muppet.

You can’t be serious. Or if you are, you can’t be sober. Take a nap.
