I feel we got that with Canada. We felt uncomfortable because it was an unknown thing and we fired him. True he was a bit of a loose cannon but we could have at least tried to work things out better than we did. Just my two cents.
Orgeron never wanted Canada. He wanted to hire Ensminger the entire time but he couldn't justify it after he said he was going to get the best OC in the country. So, he hired Canada and then continually interfered so he could have justification to fire him. He seems to be surrounding himself with coaches that can't be a threat to him. Aranda being the only exception but he knew he couldn't get rid of Aranda or people would absolutely riot.

I get what you're saying but I'm gonna still hold out hope that O isn't this dysfunctional. He didn't do himself a favor by saying that he was in charge dammit. I'll admit that.

Well said.

I've heard this from several buddies. They feel that Orgeron is terribly insecure and doesn't want to hire any coaches who might be perceived as being better/smarter than him, or end up replacing him. He can't do anything about Aranda, although I wouldn't be surprised if he tried to shift the blame to the defense in order to deflect criticism of Ensminger and the dumpster fire offense.

you got that part right

that doesn't seem to be true. He told him before the Troy game not to do the pre snap motion with the oline due to two freshman starting. Other than that I haven't heard about any interference. Canada just seemed to be somewhat of a thin skinned arse and could not get along with the rest of the staff or Orgeron. Seems that was the reason he was fired.

I know you don't like Ensminger and really like Aranda, but you dont't like the rest of the staff either? Seems to me he has a pretty good staff, whether they are a so called threat to him is not even relevant. Is there a particular position coach that you think he should of hired but didn't because they would be a threat to him? Like who are you talking about?

Thanks for clearing that up. It isn't often someone comes in here after having extensive conversations with Orgeron and tells us what was discussed.
Your many personal one on one talks with him shed an entire new light.
Thank you so much.

Nail on the head!Coach O wants "Yes men" around him. He knows Aranda & Raymond are untouchable when it comes to LSU fans.
