Steve Ensminger hired
Thread from when Steve was originally hired back in 2010. Bunch of people questioning it then.

steve ensminger isn't the brightest bulb on the tree .. and that is why his coaching ascension died after the clemson gig ... he was an average at best QB at LSU and couldn't latch on with the saints as the #3 QB ... the previous poster pointing out jason campbell's slow development makes a good point .. especially now that campbell is a starting QB in the NFL ..
quote:
he can't recruit. This was the laziest hire Miles could make so he did it.
quote:
Based on what I have seen, the Rant would do just as good or better a job than Miles has done so far. Miles has had some hiring disasters and FAILS, it's not that far of a stretch that someone else could do a better job than he has done. Those that believe that somehow Gonzales, who has no OC experience whatsoever, is going to be some miraculous panacea for the inept Gary Crowton would be laughable, if not so sad.

Give me a fricking break man. The bottom line is the only way Ensminger can prove himself is the results on the field. I don't give a shite if Willie Roaf likes him.

You're ruining your point. Dale was in the NCAA tournament consistantly and Miles won a national championship, amongst his many accolades. I agree with you!

Finally, someone who makes sense. I cant argue with that.
Good post.
Good post.

I don't remember saying anything was pointless, even the idiotic bashing based on hypothetical bullshite made up by morons.
But yeah my bad, why would anyone ever prop up an LSU team on an LSU message board. What the hell was I thinking. That's just stupid on my part. I should be propping up ULL or Northwestern State. What the hell is wrong with me. I'm sorry about this total mishap on my part.

You are right, but 2 different circumstances. Ensminger is believable in my opinion. With talent, he can win games.
Orgeron was a failure, but could have learned from it and we will see if he has. If nothing else, he will have a great defense and probably a very good offense. Will that mean a national championship? I dont know. But I look forward to finding out. And I fully support Coach O. You should too.

I'm somewhere in the middle on this Ensminger deal.
I could see a scenario where he never really develops Brennan and he's a guy that displays flashes but never puts it all together, and the WR's just aren't all that capable and guys like Sullivan, Anderson, and Davis never meet their potential.
I could also see a scenario where Brennan is the best QB this program has had in more than a decade, the new guys at WR like Giles, Marshall, Chase, and Jefferson make a world of difference, and the offense is actually formidable for once.
Ensminger may be a total flop, or he may be very good. I tend to believe he'll be a little better than what we've had the past few years but nobody is going to mistake this offense for something that Drew Brees and Sean Payton are leading. But the people who act as if there's no shot he does a good job, are quite frankly pessimists.

2 different Alabama Defenses And if all we had to just Clemson’s OC on was last year you could argue they cough it up in big games.
That’s why you look at a body of work.
Which is why people don’t want E. His body of work indicates the Alabama game is more of what to expect than the Missouri game.

Ensminger should be great, because I read a "no name" article through a Google search that said so. It said that if Bama were to remove 8 of their starting defensive players in 2016, that the LSU offense would have scored 4.5% more points than they did. Will someone help with the math? What is a 4.5% increase of the number "0"? I want to start telling everyone that the program's saviour has arrived too.

Would have been a lot closer to one than I have ever been. I'm a GREAT bowler after a couple beers. After 3 or 4 everything goes down hill. But it's still a good time.

I dont have issues with Steve, it may work. I have issues with how we got to Steve and the amount of money once again wasted by Joe Alleva.
I have a feeling if they would have went with Steve from the off, people would not be bashing it as much. The shite show with canada and the whole, i will hire the best is what has turned fans off.

Once again, I try to have a conversation with you and you just refuse to have any of it. For all the "misery" you deflect on other posters, it sure seems like you're one of the most unhappy people around here since you can never give a civil response to anyone.

From the Advocate:
quote:
"In his three seasons as A&M’s coordinator, Ensminger took the Aggies from 61st in total offense to 33rd."
quote:
A surprising visitor showed up at a Louisiana Tech bowl practice in December 1990: Georgia coach Ray Goff.
“He’s standing out there on the practice field. Can you imagine? He’s not even on the sideline. He’s right there in the mix of it,” said John Thompson, defensive coordinator on that Louisiana Tech staff. “I was like, ‘Man, that was strange.’ Everybody kind of knew he was there to interview Steve."
"Goff hired Louisiana Tech’s offensive coordinator after that visit, landing one of the nation’s most sought-after assistant coaches. Tech ranked 11th in total offense and 25th in scoring in 1990"
quote:
"As quarterbacks coach and passing game coordinator at Georgia, Ensminger developed the gem of his coaching career. Quarterback Eric Zeier led the Southeastern Conference in passing in 1992 and in total offense in 1993. The Bulldogs won 19 games in Ensminger’s first two seasons calling plays"
quote:
“People weren’t doing it at all,” said Jackson, now retired and living in Natchitoches. “We set all kind of records.”
quote:
"Ensminger threw for 2,770 yards and 16 touchdowns"
Which one of the bodies of work above do you think indicates it will be the Alabama game instead of the Missouri game?

I'm always surprised at how well some people bowl after they have had a few beers.

So, what you're telling me is that past coaching experience, no matter how long ago, is relevant to predict how a coach will perform today, right?
