Yep. The way that this is theoretically going to work is that Brady will always have a next play ready for Ensminger. Ensminger can then call that play or choose a different one. So, Ensminger is ultimately responsible for the play call, but this gives Brady a chance to get the experience he needs to hopefully call plays in the future.

I think that everyone sees this as a tryout year for Brady as OC. If it works, then I think that Ensminger retires from coaching to be an analyst for us, so that he can still help Brady.

Again: how is this a good idea? Everyone in the country knows that LSU is stacked with talent, has an incredible defense year in and year out, but simply cannot field a competent offense.

With those facts, who in their right mind would sign up for an inexperienced GA learning on the job from E for two years (one of which is supposed to be poised for a title run - 2019)? Many people are wondering why a qualified and experienced OC with skins on the wall wasn’t hired once Canada was fired. E has shown no ability to have success as an OC and now he is being tasked with training his inexperienced replacement on the job? I mean, maybe it will work out, but on paper that looks terrible.

This is great in theory, but they would still need to make quick decisions on that play. Wouldn't be surprised if we had some initial problems getting plays in.
