Oh please tell me how he did nothing to deserve the bonus for limiting turnovers and red zone scoring.


if we had had turnovers and poor RZ scoring you can damn well bet this guy and this board would have given E hell and trashed him unmercifully. besides, 50k is chump change as a bonus for a very good year.

When you say "good year," for whom are you speaking?

The team overall? The Offense (qb play? wr play? ol play? rb play? te play?) or The Defense (CB play? Saftey play? lb play? DL play?)

There's different coaches for many of those different positions. So, looking at Steve Ensmingers production,

Total offense was not in the top 50.
Passing offense, not in top 50.
Rushing offense, not in top 50.
3rd down conversion, not in top 50.
completion percentage, not in top 50.
sacks allowed, not in top 50.
passes had intercepted - t for 7th overall
first downs - 33rd
red zone offense - 27th (field goals)
TOP - 31st
scoring offense - 37th (field goals)

I don't think that warrants a bonus for the man in charge of the offense.

119th in the country in TD percentage in the red zone is poor.

Well we had one of them. Ranked 119th in redzone TD percentage. Yet he got a bonus for redzone performance. I wish I could perform that bad in a key aspect of my job and still earn a bonus.

First, how does an OC get credit or blame for offensive turnovers? I don't get that. Burrow was pretty good with his decision making this year and our skill players held on to the ball. GREAT JOB STEVE!!!

The RZ numbers look good because the offense stalled so god damn much and we had to rely on Cole Tracy. If Culp is the kicker this year what do you think those numbers would look like? Hell, I can't remember many times we were inside the 20-30yd line and we actually took a shot at the end zone. It was that bad.

Any bonuses to this offensive staff is quite comical.

Why does it have to be one or the other. Certainly more should be expected than "well at least they didn't turn the ball over." Why can't LSU fans expect the team to maintain a good red zone percentage while scoring touchdowns.
