It’s not that Ensminger or Sullivan are bad coaches, but it’s not the right time for them.

Pete Jenkins is a great coach but he should not be DC.

As for Ensminger as OC it’s more than scheming and play calling. It’s also Recruiting. He’s gonna be 60.

Further if you had to take one position at LSU and admit we have been lacking at recruiting and developing it would be QB.

How do you think it’s gonna play in living rooms? If you are a parent and you think your kid has NFL talent are you gonna trust to him to a 60 year old who hasn’t been a full time play caller this century?

No sir, with all due respect to both you and Steve. It’s a bad hire.

Haha were not winning nine games next year with Ensminger as the OC, so you don’t have to worry about that.

Bad hire. There’s no other way to look at it.

Any chance LSU is leaking that Ensminger will be the hire to make our fan base more excited about the actual OC to be (not Ensminger)?

Did you see how the head coaching hire went down? No way LSU has that sort of swag.

is the same group that's absolutely losing their shite at the possibility of LSU considering Art Briles...


??? Da fuq??? Art Briles will not coach again. Not at LSU not at any college.

Many people, including myself, didn't want O and also don't want to hire the rape cover up coach Art Briles.

Bub I think the point is LSU was never considering hiring Art Briles....it was Kendal Briles.

Hiring these bozos


They are not BOZOS. They are accomplished coaches, well respected in the community. That does not mean they will make the grade as OC at LSU, but it certainly does mean they are not BOZOS.

If we hire Ensminger we have a OC that really doesn’t want the job and he isn’t being sought as an OC any where There is a big ol world of OCs that aren’t Briles or Ensminger


well put. I clearly do not understand this "safe hire" concept. imo, there is no such thing. and going for 8-9 win seasons is certainly no going to keep either of them their jobs. that should be off year results.

1) O is out quicker than anticipated or 2) SE hits it out of the park and we are great again. Im ok with either.



3) Bad offenses. 7-8 seasons. Apathetic fan base. Recruiting declines. Alleva keeps giving O more chances because they're futures at LSU are intertwined.

How the frick do you spend that much on a top tier defensive coordinator then turn around and go the cheap route with your offensive coordinator?

I think we all like Steve, but he even said he didn't want to be the permanent OC. How do you give a guy a job he does t even really want?

There is absolutely NO WAY IN HELL that we win 9 games with a schedule like next season. Not with the same archaic arse offense like we’ve shown of late. O and Joe must be Neanderthals if they think this is a “safe” and “secure” hire. This sucks donkey balls and we will be stuck with no offense for years to come.

Then O doesn't get a new contract. Even if we have two more 8-9 win seasons it won't destroy the program. Then Aranda will come in and hopefully revitalize the program and bring in a truly great OC. 


If Aranda is still in Baton Rouge and the administration is wise, neither is certain.

Remember 2011? Besides the national championship?

Yeah I miss those days. When we’re actually respected in college football.
