re: Canada to maryland

Every head coach is going to have input

but he promised . . .

IIRC, O questioned why the 3rd string RB fumbled on the first play of the game. Sounds like somebody else was getting to call the shots. And Brennan played in both losses. Looks like a little "meddling" may have been needed.
Ranters wanted Ed to get in the stands and eat popcorn, and then pay the consequences if it didn't work out.

I'm not for or against O, but I'm for success. Doesn't do much good to bash him from every angle - if that would work, he'd have quit by now.

He was hired to do a job and paid a lot of money to do it. Good managers know you don’t hire chess players and turn them into chess pieces.

If O and Aranda had already decided even before Canada was fired that they would make Ensminger the next OC, then why have a damn search, you dummy?

Indeed, in the press conference immediately following the A&M game O said his next OC would be Steve Ensminger. Didn't you believe him? You thought he was a liar. He said what he was going to do and did what he said he would do. Yet you fault him for not having a search? Give me a freaking break! What planet do you moonbats live on?

Wow! How typical. If somebody doesn't agree with your opinion, YOU, as usual start attacking and calling names. It kinda seems like a Ponamsky antifa tactic. O didn't lie to the entire fan base. He scammed them.

This is not a defense of Orgeron, but if you can't see Canada has a problem sticking around that has nothing to do with Orgeron, I'm not sure you can look at this situation objectively.

Orgeron said he would hire the best coordinators possible and let them coach.

His only coordinator hire was Canada, who he didn’t properly vet, interviewed only once, and gave him a guaranteed contract of $4.5 million.

Orgeron publicly admitted to meddling in the offense, telling Canada not to run tempo, and told him to take away the shifts.

The result was a loss to Troy, Alleva being called in to play babysitter, and O admitting he wouldn’t meddle with Canada’s offense any more than he already had.

Canada might be a complete a-hole, he might not play well with others, and he might have hated Orgeron. But he was hand picked by Orgeron. The fact that this didn’t work out falls entirely on his shoulders. Miles didn’t get a pass for his inability to hire or retain a competent Offensive Coordinator, and neither should O.

quote:

Because you are about to hire Steve fricking Ensminger as your OC...you go out and look for someone better you fricking moron, not just promote the TE coach who you had to pretty much make him take the job and then try to pass it off like you just hired the best offensive mind in college football.

---

As I said you dumb retard, O and Aranda had already made up their minds that Ensminger was going to be the next OC at LSU. Indeed, that’s why O said Ensminger was going to be the next OC when asked during that press conference following the A&M game. In fact, a lot of people say it was Ensminger who called the plays in that A&M game and that was by far LSU’s best offensive outing of the season. Thus, if you are not going to hire anyone else other than Ensminger, then why even have a freaking search, you dumb retard?

Furthermore, Aranda says Ensminger is a better play caller than Canada is, and he ought to know since he schemed against the both of them every day in practice the past two years. Meanwhile, O trusts Ensminger immensely.

Hence, I could care less what a moronic retard like you says and believes about Ensminger since coach O and Aranda both believe Ensminger is the best coordinator available. Thus, forgive me if I’m not retarded enough like you are to question their judgment.

Moreover, nobody cares if you don’t like Steve Ensminger, but I happen to know him personally and he is one of the best human beings I have ever known in my lifetime.

I love how this is the new narrative. ARANDA wants Ensminger!!

---

It is funny, isn't it?

Show of hands...who here thinks that when Aranda gets his first shot as a head coach (be it here at LSU in 2019 or elsewhere) his first call to be his OC is going to be to Steve Ensminger?

Yeah...me either.

Why is what Aranda may have wanted being brought up, anyway?

He's a coordinator also. He's free to move on if he likes, for more pay (like he almost did with A&M), or for a better job (the way Bama's past DC's now have SEC head jobs).

Staff input is one thing, but if Orgeron is the head guy, he's the one who is responsible for the decision.

And my take on any of what Aranda "wanted" is this- if he said anything (if asked), he probably was smart enough to say "yeah, I can work with _____". Nobody with any sense is going to want to campaign against anyone else, that makes THEM the troublemaker.

 infuriates me that a guy who has had 6 OC jobs in 10 years

Pure ignorance.

So he should never have taken promotions for more money or left a team when the head coach and staff went to another school? He was fired from NC State. I guess LSU fans forget why now. He was fired from LSU because Orgeron wouldnt let him do his job while at the same time breaking a promise to not meddle.

LSU fricked up. Canada gets 1.7 million AND his nice salary to Maryland. Canada will make Aranda money next year as a result. LSU fired without cause due to a meathead HC.

quote:

Canada was fired because he became a cancer on the coaching staff. That's the reason.

Ed Orgeron hired him. So he failed in his first big hire. Now he's relying on Les' guys to run the defense and offense.

Seriously, you cant defend this unless you are Derek or a family member. How are we in a better position than in 2015?
