Simple fact. Canada did not get to run his offense in 2017. He was a escape goat

Pure speculation. You're spending too much time down at the barbershop. And what the hell is an escape goat?

When the greatest coach in college football makes fun of your offensive coordinator that should tell you something. Bama beat our guys again even with gimmick master Canada.

The problem in 2016 was Ensminger had to run Les Mile's old antique offense. Thus, most teams we played against knew the plays coming before we snapped the ball.

With most teams, that didn't matter, as we would still win. But when we played Alabama they made us look silly every year because they knew all the plays coming before the snap.

Everybody always blamed it on the offensive line, but that wasn't the problem. The problem really was the Les Miles antique offense. The reason we couldn't pass was again because of Les's old antiquated offense. It was just too predicable.

That's won't be the case this year, as we are finally going to have a very unpredictable offense.

We also did better against Alabama last year with Canada's motion-oriented offense, but I thought his offense was very mediocre. Nonetheless, because Alabama couldn't anticipate the plays we were running like they used to always be able to do with Les Miles old antique offense, we still nevertheless did better than we had been doing in previous years.

I'm just so glad that Les Miles is finally gone and that we aren't still running Les Miles' old antique offense. As Nick Saban knew that offense better than Les Miles' offensive coordinators did.

This does not affect play calling. An offense can line up in the same formation on every play and still run or pass a variety of different ways. The reason people knew was what Les was gonna do was because of his tendencies. He went on television and said the way to beat a team was to bend their will. That's why people knew what he was gonna do.

Ensminger had plenty of offensive sets to keep defenses off balance in 2016.

Ensminger had a better offensive team but couldn’t score on Alabama


The reason we couldn't score in that game didn't have anything to do with Ensminger but instead with the fact that Nick Saban knew that old antique Les Miles' offense better than Les Miles ever did.

Say what you want, but Canada almost doubled the amount of rushing yards LSU had against Bama in the previous two years combined. If Etling could have hit on any of the number of open WRs on the long passes...

I guess Saban knew this was coming too...

Against most teams, I think he could do fine, but he was fired the last two times he was an offensive coordinator (though it was many years ago).


Didn't I read somewhere that both of those coaches said in hindsight that they had fired him to make him a scapegoat so that they could deflect the heat off of them? Anyway, that's what I read.

The Cameron offense was the Les Miles old antique offense.

Not sure about all that, but I certainly liked Les Miles’ Tigers teams better than Special Ed’s


Wow! You liked the 3 yards and a cloud of dust of the old ancient Les Miles antiquated offense that tortured most LSU fans for years.

One game negates the entire season?

Not to mention, that it was your idol Les Miles' old antique offense that he was stuck with. Can't wait to see his new offense coming though.

Not correct. You heard the version of the story as told by that liar Canada to one of Canada's friends immediately following that meeting. However, subsequently, O met with Alleva again and explained his side of the conflict from his perspective and Alleva sided with O.

O was furious at Canada since immediately following the Moo State game and he wasn't "meddling" with Canada's offense. Instead, he was riding Canada's arse because his offense was a dud.

O already didn't like Canada previously since before the Moo State game because he had a bad habit of always talking down to the players, but when he went to Alleva, the rest of the coaching staff also turned against Canada. As he was a cancer on the program from that point on and all of the other coaches and especially Aranda hated him.

Hence, because of that and to preserve unity within the coaching staff, O had to get rid of him.

Ensminger, 2016, running Cam’s offense:0 points vsAlabama Canada, 2017, running what O let him on the road : 14 points. Don’t any of you a-holes try to say you know things will be better. You’re fricking liars if you think you know.


The only reason Canada's offense did better last year was that Alabama was back on its heels guessing because they didn't know what was coming. With Les Mile's old antique offense that Ensminger was stuck with back in 2016, on the other hand, just like in 2015 Alabama new all the plays coming before the ball was snapped.

Indeed, with Les Miles old antique offense, just about everyone we played knew the plays coming beforehand, yet we could still beat most teams, except for the elite teams like Alabama.

Yeah,maybe that is true, but show me where Canada ripped the shite defenses, oh, he didn't. One team aTm and they have a shite defense. At least with SE calling plays against shite teams it was enjoyable to watch unlike with miles or Canada, it was like getting your teeth pulled (without anesthesia) every fu$@^&g game.

There were a ton of rumors following that game that Coach O made Steve Ensminger call the plays against Texas A&M as an audition for the job.
