well that's not true

Can't fin team stats for McNeese from the 80s , so I'll start with La Tech

1988-1990 La Tech:
1988: 196 pass ypg; 71 rush ypg; 266 total ypg
1989: 202 pass ypg; 154 rush ypg; 356 total ypg
1990: 238 pass ypg; 212 rush ypg; 450 total ypg

- so he improved his pass offense and rush offense each year he was there. He went from 196 passing yards his first year to 238 his last and from 71 rushing yards per game his first to 212 his last. he nearly doubled his total offensive output from his first year to his last. Only once has Canada ever had a team average 450 yards per game on offense. So at his very first stop, he had a better season than most of canada's. Well, your post has already been proven wrong but I'll continue

UGA 1991-1993 (Qbs Coach)
1991: 220 pass ypg; 12 TDs, 4 INts, 53.5 comp%
1992: 215 pass ypg; 13 Tds, 12 INTs, 58.8 comp%
1993: 323 pass ypg; 24 TDs, 7 INts, 63.0 comp%

- so as QBs coach he went from 220 pass ypg his first year to 323 pass ypg his last year. He doubled UGA's TDs output and increased comp% by 10%. That's look pretty good right?

Texas A&M 1994-1996
1991: 188 pass ypg; 172 rush ypg; 360 total ypg
1992: 200 pass ypg; 176 rush ypg; 376 total ypg
1993: 174 pass ypg; 230 rush ypg; 404 total ypg

Looks like the offense improved their total output each year there too with a 44 yard improvement from year 1 to year 3. Remember Canada having more seasons under 400 ypg than not, yeah Ensminger had an offense do that at A&M as well, and in an era with not as much offense no less

Clemson 1997-1998
1997: 191 pass ypg; 152 rush ypg; 343 total ypg
1998: 184 pass ypg; 120 rush ypg; 304 total ypg

- yep he sucked and Clemson and got fired.

In summation, what in the frick are you talking about? Canada coaches in an era where offenses are king and that regularly put up numbers that dwarf offenses of the 80s and 90s, yet Canada puts up numbers comparable to the offenses of the 80s and 90s most years. He's had two seasons that were worth a damn as OC. I'll post his seasons again to refresh your memory

Canada's worst season was 2008. He averaged 348 ypg. Ensomnger's best season was in 1990 with La Tech. He averaged 450 yards per game.

Now I'm going to refresh your memory with this post

So are you willing to admit you were full of shite or is your argument that 450 ypg is not as good as 348 ypg? I'll hang up and listen
