Not really a fan boy. I’m in wait & see mode. I’ve acknowledged the bad & the good. You should try it. It’s called being unbiased

I think Last year showed he clearly isn’t the answer.

He can’t improve this team on his own, and the Canada fiasco and having to pay a Aranda 2.5 million shows the obvious flaws in the CEO Model.

If Ensminger is a success that would be huge and I would have to give him credit for trusting in the guy, by st the same time it kinda clear Ed has no real vision besides recruiting DL.

Which isn’t his vision. It’s What Les hires O to do in the first place.

That’s where I was last year. Orgeron had the perfect opportunity last year to immediately win most of us over, but instead he interfered with his OC’s offense, got his doors blown off by Moo State, lost to Troy, threw his “3rd string RB” and kickers under the bus publicly, fired the OC he hired after his first year costing LSU 1.5 million, promoted Ensminger (who hasn’t run an offense in 15+ years), has the worst recruiting class since 2002....none of that is promising.

Thankfully there were a few promising things to happen over the summer.

But don’t act like we never gave O his chance. He had his mulligan year and a half. It’s win big this year or GTFO.

Right. It's a schtick.

Everyone is. We have no other choice and none of us (to my knowledge) can see the future. But rational people can often take a look at the big picture and project how they think things will turn out.

I have. Retaining Aranda is obviously good. The OL coach hire appears to be a good one. He deserves I guess a little bit of credit for avoiding all-out collapse after the atrocious start to last season. Other than that, what other substantive good stuff is there to acknowledge? Burrow is still TBD as well as whether or not he truly has fortified the line of scrimmage like people seem to think he has. Ensminger is very much TBD and id be lying if I said I had a ton of faith in the short term or long term viability of that hire.

I don't feel like I need to touch on the bad stuff. It's been touched on ad nauseum.

ETA: more good stuff - I'm glad O has at least attempted to modernize the staff by hiring a large support/analyst contingent

Your picture is of O, are you sure you aren't a fan boy?
