re: Why Ensminger is the wrong hire and why it doesn't matter if the insiders are full of it.

O is lazy. Period

I refuse to believe someone who's fallen miraculously upward in his career as much as O has is lazy. O must try really fricking hard - whether it be backstabbing, kissing arse, recruiting, whatever.

But that doesn't save O from being utterly incompetent. The funny thing is I thought the O/Alleva model would eventually fail because if you hire really good coordinators they eventually leave and you're depending on O to continiously make good hires, something he's never done. But I thought the first hire would be pretty easy - he had an open checkbook to go find a very highly reknowm coordinator. & of course O only fricking interviews one. Because O is enamored by each shiny fricking toy since he lays his eyes on. I didn't think O would completely flunk the easiest hire he'd ever have to make.

But O can't manage, being a career d line coach, and we have to run off our offensive coordinator. Somehow this has given O the autonomy to hire his buddy who is such a good playcaller no ones hired him to do it in two decades.

frick this fricking shite

That was a damn fine first post melt. Have an upvote.

No way I was going to read all your crap. Nonetheless, both coach Aranda and coach O believe that coach Ensminger is a better play caller and better OC than Canada. They also both thought that Canada was a cancer on the football staff.

Ensminger is a good OC

Is he? Total offensive rankings:

2016 - 71. IF (big if) we're being generous and assume he could have mustered the same average YPG in the first 5 games of the season that the offense gained in the last 8, it would have been good enough to move all the way to 29.
2008 - 105
1998 - 93
1997 - 61
1996 - 34
1995 - 51
1994 - 61

Cliff notes? Man you like to read your own writing. Fact is, we will have to see our offense in September. Nobody knows how this turns out, yet.

I'm really not certain that it's a "melt." For all the "Did-not-read" types, you really shouldn't comment. The Search actually seems to have gone out of his way to not write huge paragraphs, gave generous space between the ones he did, appears to have given us a nice, concise-ish, synopsis of the entire situation.

Well done, sir.

I read the whole thing. Preach it brother. The excellence of the FB program post-2000 didn't "just happen" and it's a lot harder to rebuild it once it's lost than to fight to maintain it.
