The marriage between LSU and offensive coordinator Matt Canada is expected to come to an end shortly after the Citrus Bowl on Jan. 1 and candidates for the job have begun to emerge.

Following LSU's season finale vs. Texas A&M, head coach Ed Orgeron suggested that tight end coach Steve Ensminger, who served as interim OC in 2016, could replace Canada full-time.

Another candidate for the job could be Kentucky offensive coordinator Eddie Gran, according to Glenn Guilbeau with The Daily Advertiser:

quote:
If not Ensminger, a possible replacement for Canada may be Kentucky offensive coordinator Eddie Gran, who was special teams coach at Tennessee in 2009 when Orgeron was the defensive line coach and recruiting coordinator there. Gran is known as a strong recruiter in Florida and was Florida State's offensive coordinator from 2010-12 and Cincinnati's offensive coordinator from 2013-15 before going to Kentucky.

Gran, 52, will cost more than Ensminger as he is making $825,000 a year that will rise to $875,000 in 2020, according to his contract. Ensminger, 59, is making $335,000 a year. LSU will still owe Canada the remaining two years of his guaranteed three-year contract at $3 million, which will be subtracted by whatever he makes in a new job.

Who cares... LSU is a basketball school.

What a joke. Orgeron going to hire his friends rather than the best available.

Bum Phillips used to have a saying....”Your friends will get you fired”

Basically you only get hired if you previously worked with Ogeron. How about hire the best person for the job, not your BBQ buddy.

Eddie Gran's plan is to rock down to Electric Avenue, and then he'll take you higher.

If that is the case, why are they letting him go? I don't give a crap about those numbers. Kentucky stinks. And we are thinking of hiring their OC? Good Lord. This is ridiculous.

I'm done with this shite til after the bowl game. Between Ross and Glenn it's a reporting shite show.

Azkiger•101 months

If this guy is hired I guess all that's left is to watch the train wreck in slow motion.

choo choo

So Guilbeau just totally pulled that name out of his arse? What a joke. IF Canada is not here next season, every single offensive struggle and loss will be directly on CEO because of this debacle.

yeauxkneauxit•101 months

What a joke! Got one of the best on staff! ADhas to GEAUX!

lsusportsman2•101 months

Better than Ensminger, but Jesus fricking Christ this dude isn't the answer. Where's the elite coordinators we claimed we would get. Special Ed wants to just hire his buddies who he makes jumbalaya and gumbo with and drinks energy drinks with. Special Ed only does what's best for him and not LSU. He can go frick himself in the face.

@scott2274 Why do you get so personally offended if someone does not love Coach O as much as you? Also with all the grammatical errors you have in your posts, maybe ease up on calling other people morons..

So what happened to the "hiring the best" strategy?

KnoxBengal•101 months

O is a failure. frick you Alleva.

Napolianville•100 months

If that happens O has lost his mind! Keep Canada and the Offense will be even better next year! O has broken his own rule of letting the coaches coach! O is a D line coach and showing it! O gonna take us back to the 90s!

“LSU will still owe Canada the remaining two years of his guaranteed three-year contract at $3 million, which will be subtracted by whatever he makes in a new job.”

This is what pisses me off the most. We were so sure MC was the guy. Now, less than a year removed, we have to pay for a $3 million dollar mistake? Chaps my arse.
