Ensminger, elevated from tight ends coach to coordinator after the firing of Cam Cameron on Sept. 25, worked under the terms of his original contract with the school as tight ends coach. He signed the memorandum of agreement on Sept. 25 agreeing to be paid an extra $75,000 for his duty as the program’s offensive leader.

Ensminger will be paid a daily rate of $833 if he remains LSU’s interim offensive coordinator beyond Dec. 15, the end of the “interim term” in the memorandum of agreement. LSU is in search of an offensive coordinator, and coach Ed Orgeron said Sunday that the program may not hire Ensminger’s replacement until after the Citrus Bowl on Dec. 31. Ensminger will remain on staff in some capacity in the future, Orgeron said.
