re: how much more optimistic/excited would you be with a different OC hire

He didn't need to be smart, he saw the same thing everyone on the rant saw, that the players were having trouble with all the excessive pre snap motion that early in the season as they just hadn't caught on to it yet and it needed to be dumbed down, at least for the time being. He was smart enough to relay this to the thin skinned overly sensitive Canada who acted out like an angry 4 year old.
How did that work out for the genius O?
It’s kinda like going to Chip Kelly and saying “hey the players aren’t getting it so slow down and huddle up between snaps.”
O fundamentally didn’t understand the offense.
Also you’re taking him at his word after an embarrassing loss. Danny Etling said we were running plays from 2016 and Clapp said we had to get back to what we were doing in the spring. I didn’t look like we just removed the presbao motions.
I love How people keep saying we don’t need s genius and it’s not that hard. We sure do enjoy Dave Aranda dintvwe? Really hasn’t hurt having a genius on that side of the ball.

I love how you Canada apologists like to make out the “meddling” to be more than it was - not motioning offensive lineman against Troy.
quote:
Heading into the matchup with Troy, Orgeron wanted to simplify the offense with two freshmen starting along the right side of the offensive line.
quote:
"I did step in last week for the first time. I wanted the guys to be in place when the ball was snapped," Orgeron said. "This is Matt's offense. He calls it, he runs it, he scripts the plays."

Welcome to the O era!

Regardless if O works out or not... IMHO you need to seriously consider no longer supporting LSU football or athletics in general. Whether it goes horribly wrong or O wins big the next two years on his way to garnering an extension. Either way you are screwed. The Crimson evil empire is always recruiting for their bandwagon. Might as well you hop on board. Rollllll......
Where do you tards come from?
Hey, if you can’t handle an opinion you should probably not hang out on a message board.
I think I’ll keep going to all the games, home and away and bowls, thanks for your suggestion though.

You don't think Slinger is a better fit at LSU than Canada was? It's pretty simple and doesn't take a genius to figure out the dumbed down (I know my audience) point I was trying to make.
No one can answer that until we see Ensminger’s offense. How can you comment so strongly in favor of Ensminger, when you have no clue what it’s going to look like or how productive it’s going to be?
I didn’t want to keep Canada. And if you weren’t so fixated on trying to beat people down for their opinions, you would have understood that my opinion was Orgeron’s inablity to find a proven OC.
Ensminger is NOT a proven OC.
If you think Orgeron’s first and best choice was Steve, awesome. But don’t call anyone else dumb, because you can’t handle the fact that he was NOT the best option. He was the easy hire.
One thing, Ensminger still has a chance to prove it was a great decision. As I mentioned in my first post, it’s the only thing that has me uneasy...the unknown. That is a fact.

Former Ole Miss and Auburn head coach Tommy Tuberville views Ed Orgeron’s promotion of Steve Ensminger to LSU offensive coordinator in the highest possible regard.
“Steve Ensminger would be a hell of an offensive coordinator for Nick Saban,” Tuberville said in an interview with SEC Country. “He is exactly what Nick would look for. It ain’t about the offense you run, it’s about getting the most out of the players you have. I’m excited for LSU.”

Where’s Tommy at these days?
Posted on 8/27/18 at 8:33 am to LSUcajun77
It’s ignorant to say he’s unproven.
Posted on 8/27/18 at 8:34 am to The First Cut
Why? Show me where’s he’s proven?
I’m all in for seeing videos of his proven offenses and swinging my opinion. I’m not ashamed to admit I’m wrong.

You may not like the hire, but he’s been a successful OC for multiple schools. Unproven would be a first-year OC, which he clearly is not.

The two worked together a total of seven seasons, starting at Texas A&M in 1994, when Tuberville was the Aggies’ defensive coordinator and Ensminger the offensive coordinator.
“He took a nothing offense at A&M, and we went undefeated,” Tuberville said of that 10-0-1 season.

Dude, my opinion was there were more established OC’s around the country. I’m just looking for some evidence that he was the best option.

Just force him to use Cam Cameron's playbook

That’s quite a stretch. And he hasn’t held the job in 20 years. Im not sure many would call his time at Clemson “successful”

So 1994. Okay, that was a great example, I’ll admit that.
Since then?

He’s been working with offenses the entire 20 years. You guys act like he’s been selling cars.
