If so, he deserves a hell of a lot of credit. Dude bleeds purple and gold.

If not, does he step aside to hand the reigns to Brady?

Definitely not bashing the guy. I'm just unclear of exactly who does what when we are on offense.

The "play calling" is nowhere near the most imporant aspect of this offense.

Somebody came in and successfully implemented a scheme. WRs understand it. The QB understands it. Defenses have a ton of problems reacting to it. And, it is constantly putting our playmakers in space with the ball in their hands. That's where the genius lies. That's who we can't let go.

I appreciate Ensminger. But, at no point should our appreciation for him overcome paying and giving the job to the guy who architected this change.

Depends. According to the rant if the play works, it was called by Brady. If it doesn't, it was called by Ensminger.

Pretty sure it's a group effort but I believe Brady is being groomed to take the reigns.

I’ve heard like 30 different things from the coaches

I’ve heard Brady suggests plays and if E likes it he runs it

I’ve heard Brady straight up calls some series

If Brady wasn’t heavily involved I dont Think he would be in the booth.

Also the play calling is just better than when E was doing it.

Yes he calls the plays on the headset. He also calls a lot of plays. Brady calls a lot of plays. As for who calls what? who knows.

FWIW, in his earlier years when Ensminger was an OC he was known for slingin it a lot. What I think Brady has brought tot the table is the RPO scheme and the 4-5 wide routes and where to attack them. If you notice now just about everything LSU runs attacks a weakness that is designed into the play. The key is Burrow is smart enough to read the play and make the right choices and get it to them.

I think it's a joint effort, honestly.

According to the experts here, E calls the plays that don't work, Brady calls the plays that do work

These people are brilliant
