Its' NOT gonna be Ensminger, folks - Cool your over-reaction jets

Coach O has known he needed a new OC for months. He has his man behind the scenes.
For those in Senior Leadership, you realize the PR/communications that need to be managed. Relations and Strategy are in-play. This is not a Texas Hold 'Em card table in a Bogalusa garage.
Coach O sold a formula in his binder that he would get great OC and DC's. Canada was not a personality fit, and Etling was too limited to let his way succeed fully.
Expect a big name as OC to be announced shortly (before Feb signing day) after the Bowl game.
Of course, Alleva will want to manage PR risks (he still carries the Duke Lacrosse baggage/psychology with him always).
Cool your jets.
The ESPN team always try to create clicks and viewership, and always are going to create bogus stories. Less than 50% of which are valid. This is one of the bogus narratives. Edit: Admittedly, in this case, given life by Coach O, BUT for specific strategic reasons.
Ensminger is decidedly NOT compatible with the "Binder approach" layed-out by Coach O to Alleva and F King Alexander.
Chill.
Its going to be a stellar match, with a guy who has a style and record which is tailored to beat Saban. The zero points scored by Ensminer's approach in '16 tells you that it is not him.
Table your good old boy concerns.
Coach O values his success, resume and dream job way more than some of you realize.
Geaux Tigers!

I want to believe it will be a big name, but Orgeron singled out Ensminger as a possible replacement a month ago when asked about Canada's future. This narrative wasn't plucked out of the sky.

What "big name OC" will want to come here after what is going on with Canada?

Let's hope the next OC doesn't get into an argument with O.

Is this kind of like how we knew for months that we needed a head coach, and we ended up signing the defensive line coach?
Posted on 12/28/17 at 9:16 am to THECEO
What about anything that happened in the last two years gives you any indication this will be true?
Posted on 12/28/17 at 9:17 am to THECEO
For those in senior leadership, okay hotshot

Not that you're wrong about generating clicks, but history would suggest that ESPN has had a good handle on LSU coaching search info since Miles was gone. Broke the Herman news and the news that he changed his mind and then broke the news O got the job afterwards.

I don't doubt that he values it, I doubt his ability to manage it. O clearly wants an OC that will run things that way he wants them run. Problem is, his way of running things doesn't work. Example: Troy, Syracuse, and MSU.

Nah cuz, O is all about the good ole boys. Examples: Fact that he "knew" he could get Kiffin. Fact that Sark's and Ensminger's names are now being thrown around as OC pick.

Like Coach O sounding like an idiot at the Press Conference talking about Canada and stating Emsminger could be the OC? That was a PR clinic, we should all have been taking notes.

"Relax guys, it's not going to be Orgeron...Alleva has his man behind the scenes"
We've heard all of this before.

you say this as if O hasn't already lied through his teeth about that fricking binder
Posted on 12/28/17 at 9:27 am to THECEO
He put all his eggs into one basket for Kiffin last year. That backfired and we were lucky to get plan B as Canada.
Now we have a couple guys on this board who have legit inside connections saying that they're hearing that EO is all-in on (presumably) Hugh Freeze, but he has major doubts that he can sell the hire to his superiors. And in that same breath, both our guys say that Ensminger is the solo "plan B".
Now that could change at a moment's notice, but right now it looks like it's either the very long shot or promote Ensminger. If that leaves you comfortable enough to rest assured that it will not be Ensminger, then I need to accompany you to Vegas sometime...

O does realize Etling is gone?
Seems he hired a bad fit, isn’t that in him? And if it is the QB why didn’t he keep Scott, give McMillan a chance? Start Brennan?
Nope this is a bunch of bullshite
Tailor an offense to beat Saban? This is fricking stupid and if that is his thought O is dumber than I thought.
