re: Update on potential OC’s (sources close to program)

I have a hard time believing that Briles is not the primary target. And I have a hard time believing that Briles' "baggage" would be a deal breaker for Alleva. That's gotta be some Rosy Finch Scona propaganda and rhetoric, because after all this bullshite, if we end up with Ensminger as OC then Alleva should be publicly caned in shame.

I want Coach O to have full autonomy on his hires. I don’t trust Alleva at all having any influence. I also don’t want him to make a hire based on PR or fan support.

I don’t want any excuses going forward. I’m assuming O has a short leash. This experiment is either going to crash & burn within the next two years, or it’s going to work.

I don’t want the slide to take 3 or 4 years. For all those that think O is in over his head, then give him enough rope to hang himself.

They've both been terrible. Alleva with O and O with Mickey and Canada, who he immediately undercut.

The shite show has allowed Mickey to fly under the radar for being terrible. I never would have thought hiring an under qualified coach to appease some idiot NOLA coaches that overvalue themselves wouldn’t turn out well

Saban and Bama should be the least of our worries these days.

Finishing 2nd or 3rd in the West next year would be a small miracle the way things look right now.

I have a question for everyone.


I have watched Canadas offense in the past


It definitely looked VERY different this year, seemed nothin like what he typically did in the past. It looked like a watered down version of trash compared to the types of plays he liked to run in the past. Yes we had jet sweeps and other little motions but watching a lot of his offenses over his career. This year looked extremely off base with what he typically likes to do. The only stuff that looked similiar to his past offenses was the flipping of lineman and tight ends across the formation.

It really seemed like something handicapped what he wanted to do/or usually does. It seemed like O wanted a certain style, while Canada wanted another, and it became a mixed up trash product with zero consistency





Does anyone see what I see?


Fans may bitch about the stuff they saw this year but how can you do your job if you are hired for what you do well and are directed to do something not what you normally do?

Nah alleva knows he's gone if O fails. That's why he had a meeting earlier in the year and told O to stay the frick out of Canada's offense and that's why he gave O a massive buyout when it was completely unnessesary. He wanted to give him and O a longer leash by making it financially difficult for LSU to move on (which makes F King smile because he doesn't want the football program being extravagant and making LSU look bad compared to the rest of the state)

Funny thing is we are spending just as much money on O, expensive coordinators and expensive coordinator buyouts than we would if we would've just got a competent coach from the jump.

-Joe Lombardi (QB coach with Saints) -Kendal Briles (FAU OC - Matt thinks unlikely because of Baylor scandal/Joe Alleva factor) -Jim Chaney (UGA OC) -Steve Ensminger (LSU TE Coach - doesn’t think He will take job unless 1M+ is offered, and doesn’t think Joe will sign off on that.) All on O’s short list, also said to expect official Canada announcement this week. ...so Joe Lombardi?

Been say this is all a dog a pony show to explain away hiring ensminger.

??it’s just the god ole boys??

Maybe O was handcuffing him; maybe he just didn't have the weapons he needed (specifically QB).
