How did you prepare to call plays that first week after not doing it for 10 years?

It’s difficult, I’ll be honest with you. But the difficult part is, it’s not your system. Back when I was coordinator, yes, it could just roll off your tongue, what you wanted to call. Having put the game plan together, you know what you want. I really had to look at the game plans, when we first started, to see how we called this play, by the formations and adjustments and everything else. Now, after these last two and a half months, I feel very comfortable with it. I had to be like the quarterbacks. On Thursday and Friday nights, I had to go home and I had to study, just like they did, on how I was going to call this play and what plays I wanted in these situations. I was studying again. I never liked college anyhow.

yea that sounds like someone learning nuances of all offenses the last 20 years

I really hope he does well because ensminger is all LSU. I just think the team could’ve gone another direction then hiring someone that didn’t want the job a year ago
