Orgeron said he has the final say in choosing a starting QB after getting input from Ensminger and the rest of the coaching staff.

Dammit. Won't even let the best OC in the country pick his guy.

What head football coach in the country doesn't have the final say on who the QB will be?

So, what does four-headed, four-armed and eight-legged QB known as Joeburrowmylesbrennanlowellnarcissejustinmacmillin have to do to become starting QB?
"Everything," Orgeron said. "He has to show it on a daily basis. Leadership, work in the classroom, be able to run the offense, make the throws, do the right things that a QB should do. Be consistent and stack the good days together."

This seems obvious, no?

Where did I say he shouldn't?
Where did I say anything but quote the article.

Someone in the media should ask special Ed who he thought was the better team, 2003 LSU or USC? to watch him squirm.

I mean he is still a head coach. What would you do in that situation?

Since the NCAA doesn't allow coaches to watch athletes conduct the summer involuntary workouts, Orgeron said he is just as eager as the rest of us to watch Burrow throw for the first time on Saturday.

For the next three weeks, he and his players will publicly praise the strengths of all four quarterbacks.
Orgeron will say, "(Fill-in-the-name) looked good today while (fill-in-the-positive)." Every player who has been media-trained knows how to deliver a political answer when asked "Which quarterback or quarterbacks have looked the best?"

In a perfect world, Orgeron would love one of the four QBs to clearly distinguish himself as the best. But sometimes that doesn't happen until the actual heat of the battle in a game.

I'm quoting an article I'm not condemning him for anything.

However this was what first rubbed Canada wrong because he wanted Brennan where O overruled him and said Etling.

I hope Ensminger and O are in agreement on who should start.

Of course he does, as he should. He's the head coach

The decision is already made and there is no real qb battle. It's going to Burrow unless he gets hurt or suspended.

I’m not a big O or Etling fan, but he got drafted into the NFL. I’d have to think he was at least a little better than a freshman Brennan, who probably won’t beat a Junior transfer in his sophomore year.

Fair point but on the other hand the offensive coordinator/QB coach spends all the time with them as opposed to the head coach. And if the OC recommends one, should mean something.

I just can't imagine that there's a head coach in college football that doesn't reserve the right to name who plays the most important position on the field.
