What most people actually believe is that veteran coaches can learn an offense in a year.

Most people can differentiate between offense implementation and play calling, which are totally different skill sets and responsibilities.

Brady played a huge role in the offense. People attempting to downplay his role are as bad as people trying to downplay Ensminger's role.

I personally believe it was an aligning of many different elements, including Burrow, talented receivers, a veteran offensive line, a running back perfect for the offense and coaches willing to use that talent (finally).

The key thing that has happened at LSU, which goes beyond specific coaches, is the obvious commitment to a modern spread offense.

People suggesting that LSU is going back to a shitty offense because Brady took the keys with him are intellectually dishonest.

I believe everything you said and agree with you 100%.

I love E, I just don’t think he is innovative and can make in game adjustments.

He didn’t have good offenses when he was OC at Texas AM and Clemson. He was a position coach for a decade before taking O’s offer and at that point people were justly skeptical because it showed O was timid to go out and make another OC after the Canada debacle. I’m really happy E found Brady and suggested him to O.

I personally want someone young and innovative in the booth with E to help with the things he maybe lacking and there’s nothing wrong with that.

I think Ensminger is a solid play caller, but when it comes to the other aspects of being an OC he’s severely lacking, it’s really showed when he’s been sole OC and we faced comparable talent. We have a fairly large sample size of him as a sole OC to determine he’s just not a very good one. People get really emotional when it comes to Ensminger and act like it’s a personal attack on him to say these things.

Steve is a great bass guitarist, just not the front man of the band
