The shitty pac 12 schools have better offensive schemes than us. We are one of the wealthiest programs in the country... unbelievable that we can't get a new young coordinator who knows how to run a passing offense.

that is all

hopefully E becomes a new man Saturday

edit: seems a lot of you remember how bad our offense has been the past few years than you are complacent with this slightly improved offense. All our offense is now is the same concepts Les ran, but we run them out of updated formations like trips. Nothing has changed we still run the ball 90% in the redzone. We still run on 3rd and 5, we still run on 2nd and 7...

if you will stop and really look at it, it's not as bad as you think. we are doing more, it's just not happening as fast as you and I would like. brand new offense, brand new offensive players, plagued by injuries.

I was whining after the florida game, and then got my feet back down to earth.

doesn't mean I wouldn't love to have a lane kiffin or bobby petrino as OC, but it is better than before.

Our play-calling has been schiity for years. We are still one dimensional, way too conservative, and extremely predictable. I hated Les for it....and now I hate O for it too.

Quite frankly, I'm not sure what would cure what ails us short of firing the entire offensive staff including O and starting over.

The more I watch Herman at TX, the more I'm beginning to think we fked up bad.

If I see LSU line up in the wishbone one more time, I'm going to lose it.

It's Ensminger's first year as OC. You have to give him 2 or 3 seasons to fully implement the offense. These expectations are outlandish. E is doing a great job. Coach Eaux believes in him and that's really what matters. We just have to be patient.

I thought the play calling against Ole piss was good.

Florida..... not so much. After the fumble we got conservative and he defense refused to use disguised blitzes.

Ensminger is an old man with holes in his underwear. I'm not sure he knows how to run a cutting-edge offense. Since O loves Ensminger so much and is essentially "married" to him now, the best thing to do is have Hugh Freeze TEACH/COACH Ensminger how to run the best, most creative (cutting-edge) offense. Freeze owns the blueprint. We simply have to purchase it. Ensminger will have to swallow his pride for the greater good. He is a grumpy ole bostid, but hopefully he'll be "coachable."

When you're calling plays you have to consider their personnel and schemes as well as your personnel. The opponent's defense and your personnel (experience, chemistry of player combinations, and player health) all have a role in what you call, unlike fantasy football. Also, you might have a play that worked fantastic in practice but turns to shut in an actual game situation. If it don't work, you move on to what you think will work instead of besting your head against a wall. You may have an impact player whip gets injured during the course of the game whose loss significantly impacts the team's performance. As Mike Tyson once noted, everyone has a plan until they get hit in the mouth.

It amazes me. So when the big 12 has shitty defense, offense is great. Lsu plays ole miss with shitty d, offense looks great. Face 3 top defenses, offensive calling is shite. Maybe the defense has something to do with it.

Ensminger cost us the game at Florida. We should've been able to score 30 or so points. If Ensminger is unable to coordinate this offense to score around 30 points Saturday against Georgia, we'll probably lose that game as well. If that happens, I want Ensminger's resignation (as OC). We ain't got time for gerber and diapers. This is a damn business these days in case some of you old bastards haven't learned yet. You OLD bastards need to look more carefully at your checking and savings accounts.

Wait, so if we pass more, even if unsuccessful, you'll stop calling it old school?

And their lack of developing a QB. It's in the culture there, they simply do not know how. Since Miles first day up until now they have not developed a QB they brought in as a freshman. I would like to see the whole thing blown up and a whole new staff brought in from top to bottom.


The playcalling is terrible. The interception Burrows threw to end the game was terrible play calling. They rarely go down the middle and have no answer for blitzes.

What is this obsession with running a “passing offense”? I’d rather keep what we have right now that go to a pass only, high scoring, zero defense program like they have out West. Those games come down to who gets the ball last. Boring.

Much rather see a defensive slugfest.

I’m tired of no beer policy in stands.
That’s what I’m tired of.

Cold beer LSU football in TS = winning.

I don’t think play calling is really an issue. When UF is able to edge rush the way they did, it narrows down what you can call. It’s hard to call plays that take time to develop when your QB had zero time to throw. Watch the OL play well on Saturday and the offense will look just fine.
