re: In coach O's biggest audition.

Beefense wants Fisher. Not sure about the others.

O was the HC. Aranda's defense was playing lights out, so needed no input. Ensminger's offense was getting creamed and needed help and HC input that never materialized. So, yeah, O helped with the defense by letting Aranda do his job but failed the offense by not getting involved. A HC is ultimately responsible for the whole package. O failed.

Did you not read the rest of my post? we all KNEW the oline sucked going in. You got to plan around that

I agree that the gameplan sucked my point is idk that it would have mattered. I think etling and the oline are that bad...just my opinion. Trust me we can go back years and I have always said we need to spread bama and hit them with quick passes rather than run into the teeth of their defense.

But to judge o based on his offense (not really his offense) is unfair especially considering that Meyer, Dabo, and most other teams with good offenses would get beat by bama. Not scoring sucks but losing 10-0 is better than 45-17

if the hiring of the next coach is dependent on beating bama I guess we are lucky Houston and FSU don't play them

So, you guys expected Ed to fix our offensive deficiencies in 4 weeks, with the promotion of Ensminger

And. Your big complaint is a hindsight view of not sitting the best running back to ever play at LSU.

If Ed is the coach all year, even with a deficient OC, we beat AU or Wiscy and are in the playoff talks

Ed O has many reasons to nit be named the head man, the shortsighted views expressed here are not valid

The worse part of that game was, we knew our Oline sucked, and we knew they were going to stack the box to contain LF. Instead of trying plays that hide our weaknesses, we played right into their hands, like we have the past 4 years. No quick passes, no screens, no spread, no sweeps, no trick plays. OM, aTm, and Clemson have shown us how to score against Bama, but we ignored it completely. Everyone is putting the failure on the Oline or Etling...but the coaching staff is 100% to blame for not adapting. From the first offensive series, i knew we were doomed.

---

Everyone involved in the offense and offensive game planning was at fault - 0, Ensminger, OL and Ettling. They should have apologized to the D for wasting their valiant efforts.

nah

I don't think O has the brain to fix anyone's offense

and I don't mean that as an insult. I just mean he isn't an offensive guy.

nothing but hypothetical arguments for O

yall are reaching

I suppose you didn't read the part about many reasons to not hire him

The basic misunderstanding of football is a common theme in shitty threads like this one.

witht he exception of one year with Mett that has been the gameplan since 2011..our best team ever only scored 9 pts against them in 2 games. We are Sabans bitch

which is the exact reason why so many people want an offensive minded HC

quote:

I believe the second half was all about not making mistakes b/c the d was playing lights out

sounds like Miles

no thanks
