ST is being handled in house for bowl game only. There will be a new ST coach hired.

Same for OC. Ensminger will coach bowl game but new coach might be announced before then

They are going to cover ST for the bowl game inhouse. He didn't say the permanent spot would go to a person inhouse.

Maybe he wants and NFL guy for the ST's.

After LSU puts up decent offensive numbers against Louisville, O will announce Ensminger as the permanent OC

Wait now yall don't want O to take his time and do a proper OC search?!?!? Make up y'all's damn minds!!



Well weren't the names in the binder? Didn't O ALREADY have elite coordinators committed before we offered him the job? Weren't the coordinators part of the offer itself?

We hired O because he already had a bead on an OC and could keep Aranda. Aranda hasn't signed and now we don't have OC.

If we're not gonna be hiring a special teams coach anytime soon, why did we fire Peveto before NSD?

So O could recruit more, I guess.

Would y'all rather us rush and make a shitty hire (see: hiring of Ed O)? I'm ready to know who will be our OC as much as the next guy, but is really that huge of a deal to wait til after the bowl? I guess it could hurt with recruiting but there would then be an entire month until signing day


For me, it's not really about knowing now. It's more about will there actually be a legitamite search, or is O just pushing this out because he's hoping lane says yes. If not, then he will panic and take the closest/easiest option. It would be more comforting if we knew they were actually holding interviews or some sort of indication that they have a very solid list of people.

Chicken, you're being paged on the SEC rant.

That's not the take I get.

We took 2 months from firing Miles to settle on O. And now despite who else might be available, we're gonna take the full month to settle on Kiffin

So, a bunch of gnashing of teeth due to an inaccurate OP. Classic.

Nah its just that when you hire a coach who is completely reliant on getting an OC that I would have hoped they would've had one already ready to go when he was hired. This feels like he got the no from Kiffin and now doesn't know what to do.

Eh, I don't think anyone's melting. And it isn't that simple.

And yes, I think most would rather they take time.

What it means is that part of O's promise sounds like it's a fabrication. There was no OC lined up. Possibly, yes the chance exists but it's Kiffin 100% and this is what we wait on. But if Kiffin heads to UH...that's the problem. That's why this plan would never work.

It also means this plan of hiring O just to hire better talent relies on O creating this process. The last time O was in charge of hiring people he wasn't successful.

Also, LSU not hiring an OC anytime soon just reinforces how idiotic it was to offer Tua.

Hold on now that isn't fair. He beat 4 teams who were a combined 11-21 in the SEC the year.
