re: Joe Brady has been fired by Carolina

The offense was practically the same.

Not even frickin remotely close


RPO’ doubled

Shotgun went from 67% to 96%

Full back usage went from 22% to .6% (yes that’s a decimal)

LSU used 6 & 7 man protection over 309 plays in 2018 to 85x in 2019


Oh yea, and very simply, the best players played and never left the field


An elated Burrow said, “now this is the offense I grew up playing in, that in m comfortable in. . .”

Wow, go figure. Good results followed

Players like jamarr chase don’t get pulled out the the game after big plays

Brossette just doesn’t play because he is a Sr

Foster Moreau looks like the nfl player that he should have been

shite, Dee Anderson’s career may go totally different without Ensminger stunting everything he touched

You act like all those were ensminger's decisions.

Joe brady's offense is actually very repetitive and easy to figure out. He just had elite players who were able to win.

I think joe brady is a great offensive coach and i would take him back at lsu but the guy isn't a miracle worker.

He brought some concepts that hadn't been run at lsu and had the absolute perfect qb and receivers to run them.


Oh and at you blaming emsminger for dee Anderson's career. That kid couldn't get out of his own way.

Why didn't he produce at okie state?

Home? You are delusional. I'll leave this for your viewing pleasure. The FACTS about LSU's 2019 season and Joe Brady's role.

No way this guy hires Brady to be OC.

The play calling in the A&M overtime game was terrible, too. Ensminger’s paws were all over that mess

Lest we mention personnel groupings. Nothing was more exhilarating than consistently keeping the same 11 on the field and challenging the defense without substitutions.

Consistency and confidence grew each week with simple philosophies.

Then shite, I hate to see what you think of Ensmingers lol

I think it's sad you can't credit E when everybody else around LSU football that season has. Clearly you know more than Burrow and his father.

2018 was Burrow's first year starting. Chase and Marshall were both true freshmen. Jefferson was only a soph. Jonathan Giles was heavily pumped by O and a complete bust. Brossette was a senior starting over CEH.

The line was far more seasoned in 2019, because everybody became Seniors/Juniors. They even got Ed Ingram back and he had to take on a reserve role. 2018 probably could have used an Ingram starting.

So one assistant coach is responsible for it all huh? Not that the team was far more experienced and talented from one year to the next. A QB can't make a huge jump from first year starting to his next, huh? All the positions from QB to line to WRs were all more seasoned college players. Even got Moss back.

So no chance Brady as an assistant coach worked well with Ensminger as the OC? None huh? His detail with the WRs wasn't a huge boost for the better of the offense?

@CoachBurrow
One of my favorite pictures . True love between player and coach . What Coach E. did for Joe was always underestimated . Joe and the Burrow family know how much he meant to Joe . He coached Joe to a Heisman trophy and LSU to a National Championship. Enough said . Thanks Coach .

Brady said after winning the Broyles Award, grasping the incorrect public perceptions as to who ran the 2019 offense. “I’m only at LSU because of Steve Ensminger. I’ll never forget that.”

---

quote:

---

Joe Burrow praised "Coach E" throughout his Heisman speech, stirring up nationally televised emotions within the Bayou legend sitting before his greatest apprentice:

"You guys believed in me after I broke my hand...when I didn't know if I could still play or not....thank you," Joe's voice crumbling into tearful reckoning at the end.

---

Still don't want to give this man credit for coaching up Burrow? Even if it took him a second season to improve?

quote:

---

Intent, hell-bent and ready to make a dent, Ensminger went full Passenger 57 on Georgia, Oklahoma and Clemson, dialing up his most in your face, boot to the throat play calling in his quest for football eternity.

Even Steve couldn't back down from being a little ambitious in this championship moment...he had to take over...this was his offense....these were the games, the team and the quarterback of his dreams...he'd waited all his life for those moments.

In fact, the pair grew increasingly silent (or telepathic) toward each other upstairs in the booth following December's awards ceremony, with Brady even heading to the sidelines far more than usual vs Oklahoma (as can be seen through a multitude of photographic evidence. Meanwhile, throughout the Clemson game, Brady and Mangus can be seen looking left out with little to do other than talk to Joe Burrow, silently staring over at an on-fire Steve Ensminger running the show like Mick Jagger's lovechild with Mike Martz circa '99...Brady and Mangus wondering "just how is he doing this???").

---

quote:

---

Joe would return from the field and immediately talk to Jorge Munoz or Joe Brady about what he saw and felt on the previous drive, meanwhile Ensminger took in the information or adjustments and made preparations for the next series, talking to Joe when he felt like it:

---

quote:

---

Ensminger taught Brady how a top-level coach works, how you recruit the best young men in the country; Steve educated the former Penn State GA on the ins and outs of installing an offense, which plays to call (and when), the nuances of every young man on the roster, and the importance of his system's unorthodox pre-snap movements (affording time and space for skill position players as well as supplying quarterbacks enough distance from the line of scrimmage);

---

quote:

---

Together, Ensminger and Brady became LSU's own Murtaugh and Riggs:

Maximizing Joe Burrow's brilliance became a crusade between the two offensive impresarios and this nonstop quest for success pingponged back and forth from The East Coast Playboy to his elder (not elderly).

They went through every detail: over the last decade, dropped passes killed the Tigers and 2018 was a horrible year for drops at LSU. We witnessed the first year of the Burrow / Ensminger offense leaving many touchdowns or big plays on the field following uncharacteristic lapses from our studs out wide.

How would they curb this issue?

Unorthodox drills such as the swinging door, the goggles...or...just pure volume:

Ensminger and Joe Brady envisioned a "Summer of 10,000 Catches", delivering this objective to Mickey Joseph's crew of centurion receivers during the 2019 off-season. Of course, Joseph's WR corps passed the test with flying colors, much of the improvement down to the Marrero native's own big time head coaching potential as well.

---

quote:

---

With or without Joe Brady, the 2019 offense was headed in the right direction, dropping 40+ points in the final 3 games, Mickey Joseph, Joe Burrow, Steve Ensminger, the receivers, Thaddeus Moss's return from injury, the emergence of Clyde Edwards-Helaire, James Cregg's offensive line becoming a titanic blockbusting force...all of these elements collided and aligned into the historic juggernaut we (including you Saban) will never forget....Joe Brady became the savvy, smart interior decorator who could show Ensminger and Joseph a thing or two about fashion sensibilities.

And I say all that to say I would gladly take Joe Brady as OC at LSU. I believe he has the ability to be special.

This is you & the media not being about to discern authenticity. Everyone loves & adores Steve Ensminger. A man that is humble & well liked. A man that “accepted” help (he got demoted) with the offense.

So what do you think they are going to say when asked about the man? shite, joe burrow thought Coach O should get a lifetime contract. Do you really believe he thought that deep down?

Of course they will say all the right things about Ensminger. He turned into the biggest charity case on campus, and I can tell you that he hated every minute of that spotlight.

The fact of the matter is, going into 2019, they did not think the offense was going in the direction it should with just him.

Going into 2020 without Brady, they thought the same thing. That he could not handle the offense on his own. Scott Linehan was the highest paid non coordinators(he made as much as Ensminger) in college football. He was terrible, but that is how much lack of confidence they had in Ensminger


You can pretend everything is sunshine & rainbows if you want, sorry, I’m programmed for the truth. Coach speak is very easy to sort through, especially when you read people for a living like I do.

We played 2 G5 teams in the final 3 games and we play 7 OT va A&M

The offense scored 24 points in regulation.

Also, Joe Burrow is the best QB of all time, but I’m glad he’s not out AD

Dude endorsed a lifetime contract for O and basically got Munoz a PGC job at Baylor which lasted all of 1 year.

He also said before the 2019 season they gave him a completely new playbook.
