re: I Believe in Ensminger

no but you are bullshitting if billy b and saint nick saban arent up til the morning most of the week preparing for a big game

Thanks for the post Ms Ensminger

I don't. Dude said the number 1 and 2 goals are to win the TO battle and TOP battle doesn't scream of throwing the ball around and trying to score points. Just saying. If this doesn't work it's all on O.

I honestly don't know how anyone could believe in the shite show Coach E has put out so far. But have an upvote for hoping

This probably went unnoticed in the Miami game, but on one of Clyde's carries, Ensminger used an unbalanced line. He had Saadiq line up next to Traore and had Foster line up next to Brumfield. I think the play went for 5 yards and a first down. Little things like that give me the belief that Ensminger can get creative with this offense.

I truly believe he is determined to do a good job. I know he wants LSU to succeed, and not just himself. Seems like a really good dude.

His talent as an OC and playmaker is still greatly in question, no matter his determination and effort.

I wanted to believe in Ensminger but the play calling has been uninspiring. If this is the offense that Orgeron "envisioned" he signed his own pink slip.
Can anyone explain Ensminger's offensive scheme/philosophy beyond being "multiple"?
It's not like he had a defined scheme when he was selected. It has sounded like he created it with input from his other coaches. It reminds me of the old adage " a camel is horse designed by a committee."
I'd love to be shocked with some good performances but I'm not expecting it. It really seems like Les Miles v2. "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss."

And how in the stupid arse frick does this have anything to do with his ability to be an OC?

I hate you fricktards.

First, him spending the night in his office studying film is nothing new. He’s done this his entire career at LSU, even as the TE coach. It’s nothing to get excited about. If it were a new habit, it’d be note worthy.

Second, of course he’s going to try to put together the best game plan he is capable of. It’s his job. No one will ever question the effort the coaching staff is putting in to put the best product they can on the field.

The problem is that changing the entire scheme of the offense in one week is not possible. You’ve spent all of spring and fall camp implementing a scheme, now you have to work with it. The OLine doesn’t fit well with the scheme so now you’re forced to adjust your play calling to account for it. Hence all of the max protection packages again SELU and the low completion percentages against them and Miami. The execution on screens has been poor and we’ve seen very few short routes so far. If I’m SE, I practicing screens all weak until the offense executes then correctly. We have no choice but to dink and dunk our way down the field against Auburn if we can’t give Burrow time to throw. It’s going to be interesting to watch the play calling in this game and it will give us a really good idea of what this team could be.

Why?
I believe in Aranda and the Special team coach. Defensive staff is full of coaches who could easily have multiple job offers the day LSU let them go. Special teams coach could also go to several stops and collect a paycheck.

Offensive side -- who could really go and get offers to do the same thing we are paying them to do-- I guess the OL coach could land somewhere and maybe RB coach but come on, who else really would be sought after on the open market?

Think there is a correlation with production on the field and the strength of the coaches?
