re: Ed Orgeron's presser on the offense

I get the feeling that if Things pan out Braby will be OC in his 3rd year.

Why did he hire Ensminger?

I'm hoping you just misheard. Strange for the head coach to admit he hired an OC that can't install the offense he wants.

Furthermore, if E can't handle implementing whatever offense the head coach wants, he shouldn't be the OC.

This is part of the problem. I'm not convinced O knows what kind of offense he wants. If you look back at this quotes going back to 2016 you'll find about 5 different answers on his vision for the offense. Maybe Brady and whatever he's doing will be the answer. I hope so, because at some point we need to establish an offensive identity as a program

Ensminger is a good but not great offensive coach, and at his age and making the money he's making, he has no ego and could give a shite about getting the praise. He's happy to have Joe Brady in the mix.

I think he's a solid play caller. I liked what we did on offense on a few occasions last year - UGA of course comes to mind. We mostly moved the ball with ease and kept the UGA defense on their heels all game, though our red zone execution was lacking. He seems to be lacking perhaps in his ability to adjust in-game and in actually devising his own offense. We had some really impressive early game scripted drives last season, to my memory, but things would start to deteriorate as the game went on. Maybe he's perfectly suited for pushing the buttons on an offense largely designed by someone else, which seems to maybe be the arrangement going into this year. We shall see

Plenty of us have said this. We still realize Ensminger is the play called though. Hopefully he isn't against going aggressive a lot more often.

I've been saying this for a while, and I'm sure others disagree. It seems to me like Coach O doesn't have an offensive identity he wants to mold the program to. All he wants is an offense that works. Doesn't matter if it's pro-style, spread, power, etc. As long as it works. I appreciate his willingness to change(especially after Miles), but when we were told LSU was finally going to fix the offense I kinda hoped they were going to go with a proven offensive system. Instead it seems like they try something new each year and pray it works.

Worst kept secret in LSU football within the last decade.

He also mentions that this is JOE BRADY'S offense with some of Ensminger's wrinkles in it.

We know he doesn't want to be one dimensional and his vision is to be more multiple with spread concepts. I think he is looking for a balanced attack and the ability to dominate an opponent through the air or on the ground. If a defense shuts down one we will be capable of winning with the other...in the past teams shut down our run and we were screwed.
