Ensminger is who we thought he was

Last night was confirmation.

DiNardo’s stubbornness as it relates to Tepper got him fired.

Miles’ stubbornness as it relates to being unwilling to make necessary chaneges got him fired.

Hopefully O is smarter.

The sample size on Ensminger is more than sufficient.

How did Alleva not laugh at O's face when O suggested Ensminger?

This whole season has been confirmation. We've been winning games with FGs all season. No type of red zone offense whatsoever.

Wrong. Ensminger has done a great job of scheming around a poor offensive line...

You people always want to blame the coach...

We need 5 and 4’s

No more settling for 3’s.


Look I get that a diamond can be found sometimes from a 3...and I also get that 4s can be developed...

But there was a big difference in strength, skill, and execution....5s

My opinion... going fast paced on offense, and not being successful, really made the LSU defense tired and the stayed on the field way too long. That was a strategy error. Bama didn't change anything prior to the game, but for some reason LSU decided they make some changes by pushing their offense to do something they haven't tried all season. Those quick 3 and outs were a killer for LSU.

Hey Robby. We were ranked 85th in offense before last night. Come up with a better argument

If we win out, Orgeron can buy himself more time by asking Ensminger to voluntarily step down. That way LSU won't have to pay his buyout and Coach E doesn't lose face since he can simply say he's retiring. That said, it MUST be done or it will be Orgeron's undoing.

When your offensive linemen are consistently being driven 3 yards into the backfield, the ole ball coach himself would have trouble finding something that worked. Ensminger may not be the solution, but our problems go way deeper than that, and replacing him won't be a quick fix for beating Alabama.

I think that CEO wants to hire a great OC, I just dont think any want to come and play under his administration. It's career suicide.

And so is Coach O. No one with an IQ above 1.5 can ever seriously believe that Coach O will ever match wits with Saban. It will never happen.

You’re assuming the guy who hired ORGERON should be able to make a subjective analysis on a candidate?

I will say this one more time...you can have the greatest QB, WRs, TE, RBs and offensive coordinator but if you don't win the line play then that means nothing!!! Saban wins because he has the BEST offensive and defensive LINES. He knows that is were it's won. You have to have the BEST there because that's where it BEGINS!!!

Football is not that damn complicated....

Scheme can only take you so far without the right players to execute...

We lack the 5’s on our lines....get them...and our coaches will suddenly look like geniuses...

It turned out to be a mistake, but I can understand the reasoning.

Alabama has a defense full of dominant, elite athletes. They also have a great defensive mind coaching them, and their system is to read the formation and adjust calls accordingly. You go fast tempo on them, and you can eliminate or minimize the adjustments on the fly; and then you simply are trying to defeat their athleticism and initial call.

LSU got close a few times; 2 drives into the red zone, a couple more just outside FG range. We didn't execute when we had to... 1-2 good plays at the end of each of those drives, and we might get 20 pts instead of being shut out.
