re: Coach Ensminger & Linehan are not the answer at all

Finley can’t do much, and the coaches know that
all the TJF Jock Sniffers. They love them some Jamarcus 2.0......

I’m not forgetting, but I don’t have unrealistic expectations for an offense that lost a tom from last year, then lost it’s QB and is playing a freshman. Is this your first year watching football?

Serious question. Is there bad blood between O, Ensminger, and Brady? The first question I would have asked Brady is if there was anyone he recommended to replace him? Surely he’s got his eye on guys who may benefit from the role he had last year with team?

Alot of people questioned the Linehan Linehan hire. I dont know if bringing in Nussimer was the reason for the hire.
Like most have said there is no creativity this year.
Arik literally lines up in the same spot almost every play. We dont do misdirection our wrs are running into each other on routes.
We need young blood on the offensive side

I doubt Brady has many connections with other young offensive coaches in that capacity.
2019 LSU was his first year of coaching offensively, also, if he knew someone like that, why not just hire them for his Carolina staff?

Finley's an 18 year old true FR that hasn't had the benefit of a spring season and was made starter after Brennan went down. He hasn't been perfect by any means, but he's done well considering the situation.

Good idea, he was so well networked.

Offense was a hell of a lot more creative with Brennan.
No it really wasn’t...even against MSU and Mizzou it struggled to sustain drives
The end numbers looked fine but the offense stalled out a lot when it needed points

He tried running 2019 offense with Brennan and he was 1-2. And while the defense played a major part with us starting 1-2, LSU probably had the worse 3rd down offense in the nation. If LSU converted more third downs, the defense wouldn't have to be on the field where it can make more mistakes. TJ is not a perfect quarterback by any means, but he is converting 3rd downs at higher clip and that's the biggest difference with the team. Before anyone says they are running the ball better, therefore 3rd downs are easier to convert, Why can't Ensminger/Linehan call plays to put Myles in more manageable 3rd downs? That's the issue with Ensminger and Linehan. There's no consistency and no creativity in this offense.

Maybe not, but a lot of people wanted Kendal Briles. He would have been booed out of tiger stadium with some of the calls he made with flippy trying to run the ball on 3rd down. Following up a great season like last year with unproven players which many are freshman is very difficult. I could see that the game plan was to try and run the ball to keep Finley in a good spot. It worked. Try to enjoy the win.

That's a valid point. Early on there were games where Brennan was throwing on nearly every down. Maybe the D was so bad E thought they had to score to match, but he needed to slow the game down to get the O in rhythm and to give the D a rest. We don't throw to the RB enough and there aren't enough WR screens. Use those to set up your longer throws, plus you have guys like Boutte that have the lateral agility to make yards after catch. Gotta keep feeding Gilbert too. He's a mismatch on every snap.

Lineman must go but the game wouldn't have been that close with out those Bullshite
Holding calls, just pancake blocks and didn't effect the play. I thought E did a good job
So did Arkies coach.

No. not even close. I like Briles, but he’s 100% the reason Arkansas lost the game. He didn’t continue to exploit our biggest weakness on defense. Mizzou never stopped from the 2nd quarter on when we played them and it’s the reason they beat us.

Yet we won on the road in the 4th quarter with a freshman QB. They called plays that fit the game plan to wear out the defense... protect our defense and burn up clock. E and Linehan did a very good job given the skill/experience level of our QB... and a real actively weak O line.
The play calling down the stretch in the 4th quarter was very good

Pretty sure they dumbed down the offense from Burrow to Brennan. And even more for Finley.

27 points on 91 offensive plays. 91 offensive plays!
Ensminger and Lineham are dinosaurs. Get rid of both and hire an innovative young guy.

coach E is too old, football is a young man's game.The game has passed him by, last year was all Brady. Coach E is back coaching Les Miles kind of offense. Run on first down pass on third down, way too predictable. Get someone like Brady, an up an comer.

Age is irrelevant. It’s about skill and willingness to adapt. Look at Saban. Art Briles (all his craziness and inexcusable actions aside) would be old by your measuring stick. Did that prevent him from being innovative at Baylor? Look at the failure of several “up and coming” coaches who were seen as innovative and sure fire. Tom Herman and Scott Frost and just the latest in a long line. Younger isn’t always better. This board’s obsession with youth is ridiculous.
This isn’t an excuse for Ensminger. I’m ready for him to retire and move on, as well. But youth is not a pre-requisite for the job. It’s ability. Period.

For some reason, this board is now fixated on age.
But that's not the issue.
