Charles LeClaire-USA TODAY Sports

LSU will reportedly meet with Pittsburg offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Matt Canada this week, according to multiple sources.

Canada, who runs a pro-style offense at Pitt, has emerged as a top candidate for LSU's offensive coordinator position now that Alabama OC Lane Kiffin was named head coach at FAU on Monday. Per NOLA.com:

quote:
Canada was one of five finalists, and the only offensive coordinator, for the Broyles Award, which goes to nation's top assistant coach. Pittsburgh averaged school record 42.3 points per game this season.

Canada coached the previous three seasons at North Carolina State but was fired after the 2015 season. With Jacoby Brissett at quarterback under Canada, the Wolfpack averaged 33.2 points per game in 2015. Brissett passed or 5,268 yards with 43 touchdowns and 11 interceptions in two seasons at North Carolina State after transferring from Florida.

I don't care what system is run, as long as the OC and players can actually run it.

Krypto•113 months

I think Brennan will like the sound of this.

Lexman1•113 months

Excellent point Krypto. My thinking Exactly. Hey Myles Brennan. How you liking LSU now brother? Come on down!

partywiththelombardi•113 months

Can LSU stop leaking information before hiring their top candidates?

Lexman1•113 months

Not as long as social media exists.

EvrybodysAllAmerican•113 months

This needs to happen, maybe he can pick Myles Brennan up on the way in.

Louisianaboy87•113 months

Alright here is the reality. Our offense has struggled for years because Les had his hand in the playbook far to much. This caused our Quarterbacks to lack development, our wide receivers to have subpar performances, and great players on our roster to transfer. If you think I'm lying look no further than Les Miles inability to get another job. Some of the coaching searches have gone on to say they do not think Les will adapt. A pro style offense can be effective as long as the calls are being made by the right person.

EvrybodysAllAmerican•113 months

This guy's pro style is nothing like Les miles' pro style of run, run, throw a deep jump ball, punt.

Lexman1•113 months

Exactly right Louisianaboy87! Well said! Coach O will let his coordinators coach without interference. Huge difference even with Ensminger we set offensive records almost every game.(Except Red Zone inside the 5yd. line went back to Super Conservative run up the middle Les Miles offense that won't work against stout defenses.) Anyway, my point is Captain Kangaroo would be a major upgrade over Cameron and Miles if he were still alive! I also read that Matt Canada can run Pro Style (Brennan) or Spread (Narcisse.) I personally would prefer pro style with Etling or Brennan and showcase our offensive MVP: Derrius Guice! A spread focuses more on the QB, imo. Regardless, I have to believe our offense will be light years ahead of what it's been. Geaux Tigers!

This guy's red zone TD% at Pitt was 87% this year. Not scoring %, TD %. Think about that. If we even approach that number this team will crush fools.

GoldenGuy•113 months

I can't wait for the "Blame Canada" posts

Lexman1•113 months

With the negative fan base we have, I'm sure it's coming!

Pahnew•113 months

When term pro-style offense is tossed around people automatically think Les Miles I-formation run every time. Canada does not run that

UptownnMike•113 months

Right people don't realize Jimbo runs a pro style. I'm sure they'd be happy with that.

Whynotme•113 months

So I guess coach o is back to a pro style qb. So confusing.

jptiger2009•113 months

Ridiculous more like. Why the hell did Orgeron open his mouth? Like what did you think your top pro-style QB commitment was going to do???

Quidam65•113 months

And if LSU falls in the tank next year, we already have the perfect song:

"Blame Canada" (from the South Park movie)

LSU Coyote•113 months

O Canada

CSATiger•113 months

if it's Canada and Aranda, will O shave his head too

GeologyGrad88•113 months

He will shave his chest and back instead of his head.

Blob Fish•113 months

"We are going to recruit the best offensive coordinator in the country."

I didn't realize that the country he was referring to was Canada.

RajunTiger•113 months

FIRE ALLEVA, this whole ordeal has made LSU look like ugliest girl at the ball

Lexman1•113 months

Yeah, fire Alleva. Really? Last time I checked, LSU ranks #3 in the nation in most profitable college football programs. (Alabama only ranks #10.) Knowledge is power people. Look it up!

Lake Vegas Tiger•113 months

LSU made plenty of money before he got there and it will make plenty when he's gone. Alleva ran Duke into ground and tried innocent athletes' lives. Knowledge is power people. Look it up!

So much for wanting a dual threat QB...

Lexman1•113 months

I never wanted a dual threat qb anyway. LSU has won 3 NC and not one had a dual threat QB. Give me an intelligent QB any day. BTW, Alabama won the NC last year with Coker, a pro style QB.

monsterballads•113 months

matt flynn wasn't dual threat? perriloux? matt mauck? c'mon... they all had wheels and ran the freaking option

BayouBengal61•113 months

I am not saying that I want a dual threat I was referring to Orgeron wanting a dual threat QB and offering Bama'a 5 star dual threat...

deathvalleyrox27•113 months

I like it .... dude is legit

HSHoopscoach•113 months

"You must have missed the 01 SEC championship."
