That was coach speak, O was talking to the team, to inspire confidence. I don’t see how anyone can take coach speak literally In this day and age coaches that are in the public eye like this are very much like a politician.
bullshite. The way he worded it was a shot at Aranda. He had the following coachspeak options:
"This defense is extremely athletic and gets after the ball."
"This defensive will live up to our expectations."
"The defense has not taken a step back."
"The defense will be elite once again."
"The defense is tough and will do their job."
But he specifically said they were better than last year's defense. It was an idiotic take from a coach who was full of idiotic soundbites this offseason.

No, it was a shot at our outgoing DC, the only coordinator O has had that he didn't have a hand in hiring.
Hell, not only did he not have a hand in hiring him, he used to work FOR Aranda.

You can only hire the 'best coordinators' if you are respected by the 'best coordinators'. The top guys in their positions aren't going to be subordinate to someone they consider beneath them on a coaching level. O will NEVER be able to hire the best for that simple reason.

the o line won the award for best o line in the country last year. I guess Cregg was not a good hire.
Special teams have been atop the nation since we brought on the ST coach, I guess that was not a good hire.
The picking and choosing you are using is quite funny

Unfortunately, you will never keep those wonderkid offensive minds around as a second-fiddle.
Agreed, but you hire the next one instead of going back to some NFL journeyman who has been meh at pretty much every place he’s been.

Ed wants his friends and would rather not deal with people he's unfamiliar with. If this is the case, LSU is doomed.
I seem to remember he was somewhat suspicious of Brady prior to hiring him.

What elite head coach out there has their AD telling them to “stay out of the offense“ because apparently they are too stupid to offer anything of value?
What AD tells a head coach in any sport how to do their jobs? It works both ways. It's possible to talk about what Ed has done wrong without bringing that boob Alleva into the picture to defend a point. Alleva wasn't staying in his lane either in that scenario.

Not at all, he took the advice of people he trusted to hire Brady, just like He did when he hired Pelini, just like he did when he recruited burrow.
Etc

In other words you can’t say he got lucky on one case, but in another case it is all on him. Ultimately, it is ALL on him. Brady just as much as bo just as much as burrow.

Y’all were just praising E for the tremendous game plan last game and how he’s doing an excellent job. This is the first game where our play calling was bad. So which is it?

My understanding was Brady was Ensminger’s guy. O trusted E with it. Hell Brady didn’t even tell O he was leaving.
O couldn’t bash the offense like he did the defense for obvious reasons, but he seemed to go out of his way to infer that Ensminger was really the guy pulling the strings when everyone with a pulse knew better.

the Canada hire made him realize how important it was to hire coaches that will fit the culture, that is why Ed is more likely to hire coaches he knows or is very familiar with.
Then we have a busted-arse culture if he can’t find elite coaches that he can plug into it.

Orgeron insisted he had changed since Ole Miss and would let his coaches coach, so Alleva gave him a second chance when nobody else would. That proved untrue less than a month into the next season.
There's a lot to criticize Alleva for. Telling his hand-picked guy to keep his word isn't one of them.

I still don't understand why O went out of his way so many times to hype the defense. Some of the statements he made definitely seemed like shots at Aranda.
I was actually disappointed in O then, but especially now.

That's fine if they're good coaches. You shouldn't prioritize comfort over ability though.
He should rethink his culture if those that fit it are either old or not very good.

the culture just built the best team college football has ever seen.

cregg did such a good job that he had a center leave early. How often do centers leave early? Then we had to get a transfer from Harvard to take his spot. Damien Lewis got made into a nfl starter by cregg and he came to LSU as an afterthought. But yea by all means let’s focus on this one season and ignore the rest.
