In addition to Aranda, should we bring back Steve Ensminger as an Analyst for final games?

We can all admit that the Offensive Production in big games with Lane/Charlie Junior calling plays hasn’t been great.

Just like we are bring back Aranda to spark some Defensive Magic, should we do the same with Coach E?

For those new Tiger Fans, Coach E was our offensive coordinator during the epic 2019 season!

Ensminger is one hell of a playcaller

We should also bring back Pete Jenkins as a consultant on the o-line and Paul Dietzel (I hear he is gearing up in heaven) as a consultant on how to win a natty.

at people who still think Ensminger was the reason for 2019

The same Ensminger who couldn’t score a single point on Bama with Burrow, Chase and Jefferson in 2018

Play calling is not the issue, it’s the qb running the plays

Ensningrr was hot garbage.

I thought this topic was a joke but doesn’t seem like the comments are getting that.

Joe Brady was the reason the offense was good in 2019.

The offense is good now, they just crap themselves when it’s time to execute.

Also if this was a joke like I thought. Ensminger sucked and offered no value to that team and would offer no value to this team.

Aranda was a schematic nightmare for opposing teams and would absolutely improve our defense.

He is much better than Blake Baker

Not every thought should be turned into a thread. I love Ensminger. I think he is very under appreciated for 2019. But, yeah, no as the kids say.

Aranda's defenses got worse each year he was here and you all were calling for him to be fired in 2019. And his defenses were TERRIBLE at Baylor.

Stop with the Aranda talk.

He is done. Saw and interview Jaques Doucet did a few months ago and Slinger is hardly even keeping up with the game. Enjoying retirement and family.

However, his mind is not gone so I do believe that somewhere Lane and Charlie need to talk to him about what worked so well in 2019 besides just having an NFL offense on the field.

Joe Brady was the reason for 2019.

In 2018, without Brady, we had Burrow, Jefferson, Chase, Helaire, and the OL -- but Ensminger didn't do much with it.

Only when Brady came in 2019 was all that offensive talent unleashed.

Exactly. Also, the reason Brady won the award for best assistant coach in college football. It wasn't because Ensminger ran the show. Also, Ensminger wasn't a good player caller at any stop and was fired repeatedly. Good ambassador for LSU, but no one was giving him NFL looks after 2019.

Play calling was certainly an issue in this game, Lane said as much in his presser. It wasn't the only issue.

he actually did not, you should rewatch the press conference. Never once did he allude to playcalling being an issue, because it wasnt.
Execution, yes.
