A smart head coach goes out and hires an OC with experience in the offense he wants to run.
does anyone actually know what O wants to run? power USC offense? spread? LSU football hasn't had an offensive identity in 12 years sans the few canada games where canada was actually calling plays.

Articles like this get me so jacked.
It’s only going to make the usual crash once the games start that much harder.

I think E has a clearer vision that O.
He said he wanted to run a “fastball” offense and a lot of RPOs when he was introduced
I have said for a while I think he honestly wants to run that offense but just doesn’t have the knowhow.
Everything he is saying now and the Brady hire kinda indicates I was right.

I think he wants to be explosive in both the running and passing game...but also keep some what of a pro style offense. Doesn't want a gimmicky offense

You forgot Saints passing game and Penn St RPOs.
Next year we'll add in UGA's running game and Bama's o-line blocking.

I think Clemson buried the idea that these spread offenses are gimmicks.

Correcting your own repeated error isn't exactly a charming quality

it still amazes me that this is happening.
even O’s biggest supports tout that he’s not actually coaching, just delegating.
now our OC ain’t coaching either?
and people are ecstatic that we have a Head Coach that doesn’t actually coach.
and an OC that doesn’t actually C the O.

quote:This is the point people should be talking about. I'm as happy as anyone that an LSU coach is willing to make changes. But LSU didn't hire Coach O to change the offense. They hired him to fix the offense. Right now it just seems like Coach O doesn't really know what kind of offense he wants to run. He is just trying different schemes each year until something works. He brought in Canada to run one type of system, fired him a year later. He brought in Sullivan to run a different type of system, and fired him a year later. Now he has hired a guy who has NEVER CALLED PLAYS at any level to sit in the box and give play suggestions to an OC who openly admits he isn't capable of running the type of offense the HC wants to run.
If he makes unsuccessful change after unsuccessful change though, then it's really no better than not making a change at all.
I'm hopeful that this all works out and LSU's offense really has improved (not just changed). But when you lay it all out it doesn't seem very logical or well planned out.

We do this every year with a new coach, heap ridiculous expectations on to him.
kind of amazing how some continue to take the bait on it
I hope Brady is THAT guy but the amount of people already buying in is baffling. "Sean Payton said he's a genius!" Cool show me the interview where a guy doesn't shower the former assistant with praise in a PR piece.

I thought the part where they had to get unanimous approval from every position coach before a Brady play could make it into the play book was a little much:
Advocate Article

That's how their relationship has been building the offense the past five months: Brady would throw up a play on the coaches office wall and ask Ensminger, "What do you think?" They'd compare it with every possible personnel, and Ensminger would ask every position coach if it works for them, and if it passed unanimously, it went in the playbook.

if you're getting the same end result...is it? So far to correct O's errors we've had to pay one guy a large buy out, give an undeserving guy a big raise, and now pay another guy to do that guy's job. Not exactly efficient

Yes and no
O coming in himself to try and fix the offense was bad
O changing who he hires to fix the offense can work if he just runs into the right guy.

I had to go back and read that part again this morning myself. That didn't make a lot of sense to me.

That's 4 AYEs to 2 NAYs. The AYEs carry. < gavel >
Next play on the docket... play 62352-A.
