If anyone believes that Steve Ensminger is pulling his weight on staff in recruiting or as a "coach" of the Tight End Position, please step forward.

27 total catches between 3 players for 284 yards, less than 2 receptions per game. His contribution as a coach and recruiter is unfortunately something I'm missing from my limited view of the program.

EDIT: What this boils down to is that we replaced a former UF WR Coach with the Raider's TE Coach. He's from Louisiana, but he'll be responsible for recruiting Florida.

I have no doubt about the man's ability to coach his position. He survived Al Davis & 3 of his coaches to produce Pro Bowl/NFL All Pro results form his charges on the field.

I do have questions about our presence in Florida, & the utter lack of recruiting clout this staff has beyond Wilson in-state, Haley here and there, & Cooper when he decides to get out and see prospects.

you know he's not? what are you basing that on? t.e's only catch? none, block? lsu did have a pretty good running game.

what specific things you know that he isn't doing?

He's going to recruit a portion of Florida -- along with some other coaches -- but his main responsibility will be SW Louisiana and the Golden Triangle in Texas.

I'm not an Ensminger fan even when he was a QB at LSU.However, I don't blame him for only 27 total catches between 3 players for 284 yds.I think we didn't use the TE's enough but Ensminger doesn't call the plays.Regardless of any opinion on Ensminger,it is coach Miles who has to make a decision about his staff.As for Toshiro Davis,I'll take Alexander any day.Betting 8 to 5, Davis will be an internal cancer for the Texas program within 2 years.
