I would fire Stud, Ensminger, and Kragthorpe. They all need to go.

Stud is obvious...he sucks as a position coach, game planner, game caller...really I don't know one facet of his job in which he excels. He is a non-factor in recruiting.

Ensminger has been cashing checks and mailing it in for many years now, long before he even came to LSU. He could literally spontaneously combust tomorrow and nothing would be effected. He is a non-factor in recruiting.

Kragthorpe, I feel bad for because of the health problems that he and his family have been through the last few years. But honestly that notwithstanding, he just is not a very good coach. He absolutely shite the bed then set it on fire at Louisville. Its no coincidence that Petrino won over 40 games in 4 years and took them to the BCS before Kragthorpe and Strong brought them back to double digit win seasons and the BCS after Kragthorpe. I don't really see our QBs progressing. Krag has never been a good recruiter and never will be.

We need a new OL coach, a new QB coach, a new OC, and someone to coach TEs.

GA Blue Dog pretty much expressed the way I feel. I have never been impressed with Stud & think that at most schools he would have been long gone.

Ensminger also offers virtually nothing on the recruiting front and seems to be collecting a check.

It is unfortunate about Kragthorpe, but he has not been that impressive coaching QB's and like the other two is a non-factor in recruiting. I think most fans would support it if all three were given the heave-ho and new blood was brought in to perhaps bring some more enthusiasm and better recruiting ability to those three areas.

And Miles would show us he at least cares enough to have some standards for his assistants.

He's not a head coach. He was a good coordinator and is a well respected QB coach. And he's responsible for both of the highly regarded QBs currently committed.

His head coaching failure has nothing to do with his ability to coach a QB. A first year starter progressed and improved during the year this year and Lee had his best year as a QB under him.
