re: Stop with the Joe Brady stuff for OC

Kirby and several other defensive coaches said LSU wasn't doing anything "special" scheme wise, they just had elite talent.

Bull…there were several scoring plays that were elite and called at perfect times

And Ensminger proved it was all him with his 15 prior years of bad offenses and the 1 following 2019

As soon as Miles was fired and ensminger took over as coordinated, our average points per game doubled and we started setting school records. Even last season, offense was not the problem. Our offense was pretty good. With mostly the same players that we have now, he had three first time starting quarterbacks, two of which were a true freshman, that Each had 40+ point games and one of them had 50+ point game. I’d say that is better than decent. Our defense was terrible.

To what 15 years are you referring. He wasn’t at LSU in any capacity 15 years ago and wasn’t our OC until 2018.

In the latter third of that year, Joe Burrow began to put up Joe Burrow numbers, this without being coached up by Brady.

Moreover, the 2019 offense wasn’t bad.

I’m not saying Brady is a bad coach, but maybe he isn’t the end all everyone thought he was and maybe Steve deserves more credit than he is given.

From 2018 to 2019


-RPO doubled from 11% to 22%

- shotgun from 67% to 96%

- FB from 22% to .6% of plays

- 6+ man protections over 300 plays to 89 in 2019


These aren’t small tweaks or players just “maturing”

For it his Ensminger's prior career to which I refer. Hereto, he wasn't secretly behind 2019.

You have a statistic that 15% of our plus were garbage time runs/QB knees? Statistically that’s what you’re arguing.

The coach being disrespected is Coach E.

That being said it was the players that made 2019 special

Did you watch the games? We’re Alabama and Arkansas not at the end of the year? He threw 1 TD against the 86th scoring defense in the country and 0 against Alabama in November.

What’s more likely: Joe made an enormous jump in ability OR UCF was a G5 team full of future high school coaches and insurance salesmen and we threw bombs to A future pro bowler all game?

“When Ensminger took over play-calling duties in 2016 for the Tigers, LSU’s offense had been stagnant, scoring only nine touchdowns and averaging 18 points and 339.5 total yards per game through four games. In eight games under Ensminger that year, LSU improved drastically in every offensive category as the Tigers averaged 32 points and 464.9 total yards per contest during that span. LSU scored 38 or more points five times under Ensminger, including 54 in a win over Texas A&M and 38 against both Arkansas and Ole Miss. The Tigers averaged 7.1 yards per play and converted 46-of-102 third-down opportunities during that eight-game stretch.

Also under Ensminger, LSU’s 2016 offense set then school records for yards in a SEC game (634 vs. Missouri), single-game rushing yards by an individual (284 by Leonard Fournette vs. Ole Miss, 285 by Derrius Guice vs. Texas A&M), longest run from scrimmage (96 yards by Derrius Guice vs. Arkansas) and time of possession (42:33 vs. Missouri)”.[quote]
