But how could anyone say O "lied" when the whole "Best OC in college football is subjective. I think O believes that SE is the best OC for LSU. To my point, if you ask the question, "Who is the best OC in college football?", you will not get one answer. The response to this will of course be, "Well I know who it ain't.", which is just a cop out.


How is it a cop out to be able to, with 100% certainty, say that our TE's coach who had not help a job as an OC for 20 years is NOT the best OC in the country?

This is the same non-argument that was floated to try and prop up the hiring of Orgeron as head coach. "Well...who SHOULD have been 3rd after Jimbo and Herman?" ALMOST EVERYONE is the legit answer to that question, btw. We hired a guy with a sub .500 career record and then suggested he was a viable third option for a Top 10 program!

And it's the same answer for the OC position. Ensminger has not held this position for 20 years, so if he was really respected as an OC he'd have been one sometime during that time frame. This is basic stuff here.

For the last 20 years to be relevant you have to know what he has or has not turned down over that time period to be able to say that. Maybe he and his family got tired of the vagabond life of a college coach. While I may concede he may not be the best OC in college football, I'll wait and see whether he's the best for LSU, which is all that matter's to me.

O wasn't my 1st choice either. Athough I agree with not betting 75 million that Jimbo is the next Saban like aTm did. Also wasn't in favor of Herman because I feel like the Houston "coaching tree" is suspect, all Offense no Defense, fun to watch, wins nothing of consequence.
