re: Joe Brady is there any chance

I think his role in 2019 is exaggerated.

Ok, not to argue but just to make a point...

In 2018, LSU had Joe Burrow, CEH, Justin Jefferson, Chase, Thad Moss, etc...

With those same players in 2019, look at the difference. That's not all a year of player development that led to that season. It's much more than that.

Brady called all the plays between the 20s. That, along with working with the WRs and Burrow, were his main responsibilities. Over half of LSU's offensive points scored in 2019 were scored from outside the red zone- Brady's department.

Brady's role was not "exaggerated" at all. That season wouldn't have happened without him, period. Am I saying he should be OC at LSU now? No, I am not, but his role in 2019 was critical. He had the perfect personnel for his philosophy and he maximized it brilliantly. The only game that wasn't won in a convincing, dominating fashion that year was Auburn. Even the Bama game was a blowout much bigger than the final score would lead one to believe.

Nothing but respect for Brady from me. What he did for LSU in 2019, I'll always hold both him and Ensminger in the highest regard for it. If Kelly were to hire Brady back, I'd be happy with it... and the rest of the SEC would be terrified.
