If he wanted a “modern” offense why hire an OC who hasn’t been an OC this century?

In my opinion, if Canada had been given the same chance that everyone wants to give o, LSU's offense numbers would have been much better this year than there are right now.
I was for the Canada hire and wanted us to keep him for the same reason; however, in hindsight I don't think he's the long term solution either. But, obviously SE isn't as well.

So why did he fire Canada and hire a guy who was last an OC before anyone on the team was even born?

He's thought his ideas would work since Ole Miss.
He wants a successful offense. What HC doesn't?
But if having a modern offense was his #1 priority there are any number of younger coaches well versed in modern offensive concepts.
Don't see how you can see the Ensminger hire and say that having a modern offense is his #1 priority. Having Ensminger was his #1 priority.
Why did he want Ensminger? Answer that and you'll know where his true priorties lie.

The fact that he thought this should tell you all you need to know about his ability to lead the program long term.
I hate to think about what will happen if/when Aranda leaves and he has to hire a DC.
Even money says he will beg Pete Jenkins to come out of retirement and run the Defense.

Yeah, I agree with you. He probably wasn't.

I agree again. Obviously he isn't.

So be hired an OC that hasn’t called plays in 20 yrs?

Well obviously.
I'm just saying he wanted a modern offense if it was convenient for him to have one. It was not so important to him that he had to ensure that he get it. If it were that important, he would've made the appropriate hire.
It's kinda like hoping you find a Louis Vitton suit in the bottom of a bargain bin. If you really wanted it and were ready to pay to price to get one, you could just go to the store and get it, instead of hoping that it'd magically appear in a spot where it typically shouldn't.

One thing O has to learn is just because something doesn't work 1 or 2 series doesn't mean it won't work at all. You can't just abandon something based off a small sample size. Change it up a little and go back to what you wanted. Now after it doesn't work several times then you rethink. He's too easy to just dump the whole game plan.

If Orgeron wants to hire the "best" coordinators, then he needs to be able to accept the position coaches that the coordinators need to hire to impliment their systems.
Im quite sure this was a major source of Canada's problem, being forced to retain the sub par rb, wr, te and ol coaches we had on staff at the time.
None of his position coaches had the expertise or experience to help him install his offense. Not one.
This was particularly true where the tobacco chawing, bourbon sipping, good ole boy over the te room, who had played interim OC the prior year, was concerned.
At his 1st press conference, Canada joked about Ensminger's untouchable, "favorite son" staus on staff. The rest, as they say, is history and therein lies the true beauty of the Ensminger hire.
Good, ole Steve is wholly and completely indifferent to the quality of staff with which Orgeron surrounds him. Its all good: HE'S OVER IT.

Yeah, Salisbury is the Savior for LSU’s offense.

WHY IS THIS SO HARD???!!! HIRE A frickING OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR FROM THIS CENTURY!!

I agree. It should be that simple. We need to move beyond this "good ole boy" concept and bring in someone who will be effective.
