Give Ensminger a chance like LSU gave Saban a chance

Great talent makes great coaches is a quote that Saban has used before. LSU gave him a chance when he was doing average things at Michigan State. Ensminger showed last year that he is capable and he knows the players and Coach O. I really hope he is our new offensive coordinator. One thing is for sure and that is that he and Coach O get along very well. I had to edit this original post so all these fools can see that if given a chance, most can succeed.
He sucked at Michigan State for the first 3 years and he is lucky they retained him so he could have his break out year in his 4th year. He never won a bowl game at Michigan State and lost all three games by a total of 85 points!
Here are the facts. Just think if they had fired him in his 4th year. He would be on the couch with all of us watching other coaches.
1995–1997 – Beginning in 1995, Saban moderately improved MSU's fortunes, taking the Spartans to minor bowl games (all of which they lost by double-digit margins) in each of his first three seasons. From 1995 to 1997, Michigan State finished 6-5-1, 6-6, and 7-5. In comparison, MSU had finished 5–6, 6–6 and 5–6 (prior to NCAA forfeits) in 1992–1994.
1998 – On November 7, 1998, the Spartans upset the #1 ranked Ohio State 28–24 at Ohio Stadium. However, even after the upset and an early-season rout of then-highly ranked Notre Dame the Spartans finished 6–6, including three last-minute losses featuring turnovers, defensive lapses, and special-teams misplays, and failed to earn a bowl invitation.
1999 – Saban led the Spartans to a 9–2 season that included wins over Notre Dame, Michigan, Ohio State, and Penn State. Conversely, the two losses were routs at the hands of Purdue and Wisconsin. Following the final regular-season game against Penn State, Saban abruptly resigned to accept the head coaching position with LSU. Saban's assistant head coach and successor, Bobby Williams, then coached MSU to a Citrus Bowl victory over Florida, giving the Spartans an overall record of 10–2 for the 1999 season. It would be the best season in terms of wins for the Spartans since 1965, and it would see the Spartans reach their highest ranking since the 1966 team.[7] Future former NFL Head Coach Josh McDaniels served as a Graduate Assistant on Saban's 1999 coaching staff.
Saban never won a bowl game in his tenure at Michigan State, going 0-3 and losing those bowl contests by a combined 85 points.[8]

yeah his offense was great against bama and that redzone offense against Florida's depleted defense was superb. He ran up points on some of the worst defenses in the nation.

“Give them a chance” is for little league, you have to demand the best if you want to be the best (or close to it).

I swear that some of these posters are just miserable people that loveeeeeee to wine and bitch. Please get another team to root for because yall will never be happy with anything LSU and maybe.... just maybe you WILL NOT be miserable for a little while. Damn.

STFU for crying out loud. Quit trying to sugar coat a turd.
Posted on 1/5/18 at 2:21 pm to Mie2cents
Look I like Ensminger as a person but he will never be able to out scheme teams that have a good defense. We need somebody that can plain and simple.

Certainly you aren't comparing where Saban was in his career at the time to where Ensminger currently is in his.

You should hold on to those. Clearly you need them.

Continue with your line of logic while the program continues to weaken.

nope
that was his version of a Miles offense
I like the idea of CEO/Aranda/Ensminger - a all

I am hearing other names but I like the idea of Ensminger

It would be really awesome if Ensminger won a Broyles Award next year.
