re: Orgeron did better in his first season than Saban did in his 3rd?

One thing I can tell you is changing it from a Power I and toss dive left and right into the teeth of the defense. Trying to run 3 and 4 WR sets and getting the TE's involved.

---

Are you sure that's what he wants to do? Last year he hired a coordinator to run an offense based on the jet sweep with shifts and motions. I'm pretty damn sure that O knew that Canada ran that system because we all did. There were threads all over board with links to YouTube videos of his offense.

What kind of changes will be made during this season by O if the offense starts to sputter? I wonder what kind of offense he's gonna want to run then.

Go look at 0's comments on the offensive scheme, he has no idea what he's talking about and just throws shite out there to try and appease mouth-breathing fans. Concentrate on the phrase "quarterback runs".

"As things materialized, you start thinking about things," Orgeron said. "I looked at other places and seen other candidates. I told (special assistant to the head coach) Derek (Ponamsky), 'Go get the stats from when Steve took over.' I said if we have that, we'll be fine."

---

The stats from when E took over in an interim role using Cam Cameron's playbook.

quote:

---

"We're putting together the offense the fans have really always wanted," Orgeron said. "We're going to do quarterback runs. We have Lowell Narcisse who can be a great quarterback. Justin McMillan can run the quarterback runs. Myles is a very proficient passer. We'll have all those things in our offense from a spread look.

---

Not what offense works best for personnel, but an offense "the fans" want. Again, he's not competent, he's just trying to appease people to take heat off of himself. Oh, and quarterback runs! Wow, that's a crazy scheme!

quote:

---

"We're not going back in the box. We want to create space and put the ball in our playmaker's hands. We have to have that short quick passing game to open up the run. We're going to go some 4-wide receivers. We'll go 3-wide and throw the ball. We want to be 50-50. We're going to utilize what our guys do best and Steve can do that."

---

Interesting, in some plays they will go 4 wide and in some they will go 3 wide. They are also interested in getting the balls in the hands of good players.

quote:

---

"We have researched and developed some quarterback runs that everyone on our staff knows," Orgeron said. "We're bringing in guys that are experts at it and we're going visit guys that are experts at it. We going to do the things our fans have always wanted to do."

---

They're going to visit with people who know quarterback runs? I don't even know what that means.

quote:

---

"We could (use two guys), it could happen," Orgeron said. "I would like one to be the starter. Obviously if Myles is the starter, there won't be a lot of quarterback runs. It'll be stuff conducive to what he can do. If Lowell is the starter - or Justin, we'll give him a chance - it'll be the same passing game, it'll just be more quarterback runs."

---

Same game plan, just different!

quote:

---

"Everything is conducive to the quarterback gaining confidence, the quarterback being protected. Moving the pocket, roll outs and if the quarterback can beat you with his feet, we're going to have quarterback runs."

---

I leave you with one final encapsulation:

quote:

---

But, we don't want to ever want to get back to running the football in the box. We want to be spread, let it go, 50-50 and be multiple."

Be fair. You complain that O will not fit the offense to his personnel. Yet the very article you site says:

quote:

---

Orgeron is confident that whichever quarterback the Tigers end up going with, Ensminger will fit the offense to their skill sets.

---

Then when O says he will use different plays depending on the QB that wins the job-- plays that fit the skill set of the QB-- you bitch about that, calling it "same game plan, just different." Make up your mind. Do you want him to plan based upon the skill set of the personnel in the game or not?

I also don't get your beef with having 3 wides on some plays and 4 wide on others.

Also-- the fans here at the Rant, claim to be experts and know just what offense is best for LSU. Yet, you complain O is going to do what the fans (aka Rant experts) want?

In all your wisdom, you cannot figure out the offense we will run? Perhaps the is a good thing. Hell, since you're so smart and are stumped, the other SEC HCs will certainly be fooled.

Tell me you aren’t serious

I'd love to go back and take a look at all of the offenses O has said he wants to run throughout his tenure here so far

dangerous assumption

Maybe I'm being naive or just don't want to believe it, but I can't see a scenario where the head coach blindly hires a coordinator without at least watching some of his game film.

Saban working with Dinardo's leftovers WAY MORE CHALLENGING than Orgeron working with Miles' leftovers.

I can See a scenario where a HC hires a guy who has a bunch of accolades because he promises in his job interview to get the best, but doesn’t understand what makes his offense work.

it was definitely spread in his initial interim presser, then USC offense, then he hired Canada which fits neither, back to the USC offense, then turns out he wanted the Ensminger offense all along (whatever that may be)

So then they're telling recruits we'll be running things similar to what the Eagles did in the Super Bowl and now during spring its actually McVay's offense.

I'm probably missing a few
