Ensminger is nearly 60 years old, and he’s been in coaching for ~35 years. If he was OC material, that would have become apparent long, long ago.

Just to show how faulty your "reasons' are, please remember that literally NOBODY wanted to hire Orgeron based on his prior history.
Look how great that hire turned out!!

Relax you moonbats. O only mentioned Ensminger in that press conference in the event that Canada would find a new job and leave before the Citrus Bowl, then obviously, Ensminger would have become his go-to play caller. That isn't happening so everyone relax please because O will hire and bring in someone else to be his offensive coordinator. Sheesh.

He wasn’t a very good OC when he had that job several places.

Pretty damn good considering his 9 & 3 record this season and considering the lack of depth he inherited from his predecessor.

As O said, the job he was doing wasn't the issue. His lack of loyalty to O was the issue and is the reason for him being fired.

First of all, Derek, you'd better get the firing story straight. Is he being fired, and do we owe he a buyout because of that? Second of all, what the hell is this loyalty thing? What does that mean?

So O just wants "Yes" men who will let that retard run this ship into the ground. Nice Derek.

Wasn’t he the DL coach and recruiter for 3 season leading up to this one?

Also didn’t he kick a starter off the team and a bunch of other OL transfer After he became HC

Inherited seems like a fricking stupid word.

The depth on the OL is over exaggerated as there are guys there who could have played (Magee and Campbell) the staff liked Ingram and charles. They didn’t play because there was no one there.

Mo Joe, you are indeed one of the slowest people I know on this anti-O Rant. Also one of the most rabid O haters on the planet. Nevertheless, the LSU administration has been negotiating with Canada's people for over a month now about reducing the amount of Canada's buyout. At the same time, Canada has also been looking for a new job.

Furthermore, Canada is being fired not because of the job he is doing but because O didn't perceive him as always being 100 percent loyal to him as he perceives from Aranda and Ensminger.

You're right on Magee but Campbell was out this whole season due to injury I'm fairly certain. After Teheuma left he got hurt in the fall and that opened the door for Ingram and Charles in fall practice at RG.

Are you saying that loyalty to Orgeron trumps coaching talent? Is that what you're saying? Is that why Orgeron is going to promote someone to OC that nobody else in the country would hire as OC?

Cool. Considering the source, Derek, I'll take that as a compliment.

Why would he negotiate his buyout if he is being fired? That's stupid. Also, you didn't answer my loyalty question. What does it mean to be 100% loyal to O?

Well, nobody wanted O either. Maybe that'll be our "theme" from now on. We'll a team of don't wants and we'll prove the college football world errant. AND we'll pay all the "don't wants" huge amounts of money and give them huge buyouts! It's genius!

O was hired (or at least defended) with the understanding that he would hire the best coordinators and then get out the way. That doesn't appear to be at all what he's doing. WTF does that even mean? He's not 100% loyal? He's hiring Ensminger because he's loyal?! What a fricking shite show.

You can pretty much replace Emsminger with O and this will still be true. Yeah, the numbers aren't perfect, but you get the point.

Are you referring to ensminger as qb coach? He's the te coach, had no part in development of the qbs. Those guys were coached by Cameron.
