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?


We did have a good running game. We ran 22 personnel a lot with double tight ends that covered the C-Gap and to be quite honest, I don't believe it was truly necessary to do so as much as we did so this year.

Beyond that, if you think our Tight Ends were the keys to our blocking schemes, then you're sadly mistaken. Beyond that (x's 2), if you think Ensminger was the key on teaching the fundamentals on our blocking schemes and not Stud, then using your logic we need to discuss how weak or strong Stud is?

I can appreciate the point you're driving at. But I hope you can appreciate the point of fact that I'm not some negative nancy or bleeding heart advocating for change simply for change's sake.

TE Coach is what Josh Henson was as our RC before leaving for the OL position at Mizzou. TE Coach is typically the place where your "designated recruiter" is positioned on staff.

Why? What other school's TE coaches are elite recruiters?

I'll be the first to say i don't know what attributes and deficiencies steve has. however, when someone is going to make that accusation, i think they should with some merit. I do know this staff has done an outstanding job the last two years in recruiting and talent evaluation. It's showed on the field. we were the most talented, at most, the second most talented team in the country. we have won as many games as any the last two years.

i don't know if he is someone that is helping with offensive scheme, blocking schemes, player coach relation, organization, ect. he may very well be bringing value.

so, yes we had a wobble in recruiting this year, we got burned on a few players. the only one i could can place on him is davis, who i can't put the blame on him. who could have known he and his coach was going to intentially decieve?

i do think he addressed recruiting with the wr coach. i'm not on here saying i know steve is our best assistant. I don't know. I think it's wrong to call someone dead weight, suggest they need to be fired or replaced, without knowing what that person has done or hasn't done.
