I’m not saying that Ensminger is a bad guy or even a bad OC, this just isn’t the time to be promoting from within.


There are certain promotions from within that many of us could get behind - Aranda to HC, Raymond to DC to run Aranda's D, maybe a new DL coach but keep everyone else and simply hire a new DB coach. I'd be very encouraged with that sort of promotion from within.

Every LSU coaching change in the last two years has been a bait and switch.

I think we would have been better off if people allowed Les Miles to promote Todd Monken from wr coach to o.c.

this kind of mentality is archaic. I guess Lincoln Riley should have never been promoted from o.c. to h.c. at O.U.

I'm not saying we should promote steve, however, the most important thing, if O is going to continue to be the coach, is for him to have someone he feels comfortable with and can trust. Otherwise, it will be Canada 2.0. It's the only way it could succeed. Telling the h.c. what to do and who to hire WILL NOT WORK.

With that said. I'm not fan of O, J.A., etc. I think the entire organization needs to be revamped.

the whole point of hiring O was to surrond him with the best assistants. hiring Ensminger as full time OC isn't in line with that.

Oh man, had to go back and read this again. This is why I read the TD. The comedy relief.

This is where i stand as well.

I honestly hope O fires canada and promotes himself to OC and calls plays. Lets get this little experiment over with.

Well the season is over and not much recruiting left. Coach O better be interviewing some OC's if there is no intention of keeping canada. If its Steve E. then what was the point of firing MIles? he could have promoted Steve E. to OC. Geesh!

I think everyone on Earth aside from Orgeron and Alleva is of the opinion that keeping Canada is better than promoting Ensminger

I think even Alleva is savvy to that. He's trying to save his job by saving O's. Those two are now joined at the hip. If it gets to the point where Alleva is forced to fire O, he can't be far behind.

I want to see O fail hard, but I don't want to lose too many seasons doing it.

I actually don't.

I would absolutely love to be wrong about this whole set up because if he fails, it will likely take years to build it back.

Unfortunately, after one season as the head guy I think you'd be a fool to not see why many doubted his ability to actually be the head of a program vs. what he did as the rah rah substitute teacher. There are a lot of qualities one needs to do it and O just doesn't really have them. Some are better foot soldiers than generals.

Option B: This could very easily be a bait and switch type of situation like last year. I never thought Orgeron was going to bring in Kiffin. I thought they both did one another a favor and allowed each other to use the "mutual interest" for their own purposes. Orgeron got the HC job in large part because of that. It didn't matter once it fell through.



I’ve always thought this was the case. The only people who actually thought kitten was coming here was dumbass joe Alleva and mYbe some local media types.
