How often can you have an offensive coordinator as a position coach?

I have a keyboard so I know football.

Well Henry was also an OC at McNeese too,so apparently pretty easily.

Because people see us not throwing to TEs and somehow think it's because we have an inferior TE coach

While I have no idea how good of a TE coach he is, I don't think having a job that you got fired from is a plus. He was a high school passing game coordinator when LSU hired him, that hardly makes him sound overqualified for the job.

I have never mentioned wanting to get rid of him, I just don't really think his history as on OC is a good reason not to. I want Miles to make the best decision to win games, how that effects Ensminger's job doesn't really matter to me.

His best skills could be used in an administrator role just as easily as they could as a TE coach.
And that opening could be filled by an ace recruiter

It's same know it alls that would say something along the lines that our equip manager and two grad students need to go.

People should realize when they have no fricking clue what they are talking about.

The guy played the game and has been an OC/position coach on and off for 30 years. He can certainly coach our freaking TE's which we hardly use anyway. The only reason to replace him is if you think you can get a solid coach with exceptional recruiting skills in his place. At the end of the day, if that's what the HC thinks he needs to do, its fine with me. Its fine with me if he stays too.

We pay a guy $4,000,000 a year to make decisions like that. As a fan, who the hell has time to nit pick over the freaking TE's coach?

Many remember him as the quarterback who followed Bert Jones rather ineffectively, while the more talented David Woodley rode the bench largely due to Charlie Mac's preference for Baton Rouge boys. That grudge plus his ineffective recruiting leads many tards to dislike him.

No one really knows what he does -- our tight ends haven't done much of anything under him and the administrative stuff he probably does that's probably the reason why he's kept around isn't something that the fans can see. So they see him ostensibly just taking up space and want him replaced.

I think most of the posting on here, though, is just wondering if rumors of him being replaced are true.

because they don't know shite about football and just pick up on popular notions espoused by other xbox geniuses.

The rantard perception is he is not an effective recruiter. They see us losing some key recruits and want an all-star recruiter on the staff to take over north Louisiana. That is what I glean from reading this board a few times a week.

Probably a combo of no TE production and no recruiting production for N. La. which is why he was hired in the 1st place IMHO.

However, Miles thinks the guy is doing great and that's what matters. He keeps his nose clean and does the job is asked to do - day in and day out.

He also has a ton of coaching experience and he's a former LSU player. He's been around the block a time or two. I think he's great for the program despite what everyone else's perception is of him. Besides, he's the only one on the staff who knows when to call a timeout.


Great ambassador for LSU football and former teammate. Keep up the great work! Geaux Tigers!

Because they feel they are more qualified to coach than the entire staff, but a 16 year 8 time Pro bowler isn't qualified enough to teach his position.
