If Brady did leave, which I doubt he will, we’ll be fine

We know the offense, Steve has called most of the plays in this offense, we know the drills he ran with receivers, etc.
We have the formula or special sauce if you will. We can keep this train going.
That being said, of course it’d be optimal to keep him. But the offensive scheme won’t evaporate if he leaves.

Maybe or maybe not but it would be much better to keep him.

That has been my only concern, who has been taking notes from Brady. Is it a analyst or asst coach who has been Bradys shadow and knows how to keep everything and everyone in tact for years to come?

So by your logic, Brady could be a counselor to the every team in the USA and have rolling only by spending time showing them the offense and drills.
They would then carry this over to have their inplace OC (which will not have brady next to them IN THE F'IN PRESS BOX) call plays during the game exactly how they discussed this 3 months prior.
Got it. Thanks.

Had a thought this morning...
What if we win the NC, Slinger decides his work his done, he wants some time off from football, he has laid the foundation for LSU. He steps away leaving it all to Brady. Supposedly there is a deal on the table for Brady, but he declines for NFL job.
Personally, I don't think Steve is done. But the thought crossed my mind with all that is going on personally with him.

How do you know Steve has called most of the plays? It was Brady who brought the system here Steve was learning it like the rest of the team all season. Highly doubtful that he was doing most of the play calling IMO. Our offense was archaic before Brady remember that we only dominated some teams because we had stupid good talent. Can you imagine odell, Jarvis and fournette in this offense. It would look even easier than it has my God, if Brady does leave hopefully Steve has a binder full of notes. I love the guy he bleeds P&G but give him credit for not letting ego get in the way. They seem to work good together

I’m amazed at how much credit people give Brady. The talent is ridiculous. The scheme wasn’t his idea.

When you have good coordinators who help you steamroll everyone and reach the championship, of course they will be mentioned for other jobs and be coveted. I hope he stays 1-2 more years so we can see what he can do without Burrow.

Stop please make it stop. I just got done saying this in another thread:
quote:
Again people keep saying this and it's just not true. If that was the case why would any team pay to keep a great coach more than one year?
"...Well we got your playbook now run along..."
I'm not trying to discount E but it's fairly evident that Brady is who turned this offense in to a well oiled record breaking machine. Yes E helped a ton but E would only have so much success if Brady left. You keep great coaches like Brady because of their football IQ and ability to mold their schemes/playbook over the years.
E may have some success short term but I doubt it lasts long term because you need a guy like Brady who can put new wrinkles in to his playbook year after year. Again I am not trying to shite on E here, but thinking a coach can just get a playbook from another coach and keep the same level of success is not realistic. It doesn't happen very often.
Maybe O can find another Brady out there but stop saying that coaches can just take a playbook or drills from other coaches and have the same lvl of success.

Do the saints have anymore analysts?

If it were as simple as the offense being a formula, then everybody would be copying it and running it right now. The “secret sauce” is Brady’s genius in seeing what the defenses are doing in real time, figuring out where the weaknesses are and calling plays to exploit them. If Brady leaves, the sauce leaves with him.
And I’ve seen no evidence that Ensminger is calling the plays. Every time they show a shot of the booth, Brady is the one talking to the sideline.

This “playbook” or “secret sauce” isn’t set in stone. It’s a philosophy that Ensminger didn’t understand and is constantly evolving. Brady said he’d watch NFL scoring played each weekend and adapt some to our offense. He also said it’s vital to adapt it to your personnel. This is Brady’s offense and it’s always developing. God bless E for his hard work, coaching knowledge and commitment to LSU but the genius behind this seasons playbook is all Brady. If he leaves you simply have to replace him with another great young mind- maybe he, himself would have some connections for that. Of course it was a perfect storm having both Brady and Burrow. No doubt. But Burrow talked about getting the new playbook and turning page after page and remarking “This is new. This wasn’t here before. Here’s a new play...”. Burrow was our qb last season. That offense was fairly archaic and tame.
Bottom line- Brady leaves- we’re on the hunt for the next “Brady”. O will never say it publicly but he knows it. We don’t have nearly the success we had this year without Brady. A Broyles winner that wasn’t a co-ordinator? Heck, the whole college world knows what he did.

Brady only designed the playbook. The playbook stays. Steve has for the most part called the plays. It’ll be fine.

I've never bought that it was an "equal" partnership between Brady and Ensminger. Clearly this is Brady's offense. There is a VAST change between 2018 and 2019 with ONLY one new variable...Brady.
That's not to say Ensminger would revert back to LSU's 2018 (and 2016) approach should Brady leave, but play calling can be as much of an "art" as a science. You hear it said all the time that they best playcallers have a feel for the game. Intuition and "feel" is not something that can be taught or learned. Just because Ensminger has been a part of this offense doesn't mean he has the same innate feel for playcalling Brady clearly has.
Plus, I genuinely don't think Ensminger WANTS to go back to being the sole OC/playcaller. He didn't fight for the full time job after 2016 even though he was an improvement over Cameron. He was reluctant to take the job in 2018 because he didn't know if he wanted to take on such a big workload and put such a burden on he and his family. He happily accepted "assistance" in 2019 from Brady

If we win a tittle I won’t be as upset if he leaves.

Not doubting O to get the best available if he did leave, but I don't think there are a ton of "Bradys" out there to get.

LSU would definitely have pick of the litter, but Brady's scheme and play-calling will be very hard to duplicate. Burrow or no Burrow, Brady breathed new life into this offense. His creativity is off the charts.
Arkansas would do well by scooping up a Brady look-alike for HC from the NFL.

He's not leaving. Not this year.
