So Bertman showed Ben and Byrd how to pitch, Bianco how to catch, and Belle, Grisham and Mouton how to hit home runs? I didn't know that's how coaching worked...Hmmm?


We talking about the Head Coach or a position coach
Don’t you ever compare Bertman to these clowns again.

There is so much stupid in this thread. You dumbasses going full retard realize that he is only 7 years older than Nick Saban right? Am I comparing him as a coach to Saban, hell no, but what you guys are talking about here is strictly an age related topic!

Shut the frick up, man. Your support for O’s incompetence has become stale.

Learn to sense some sarcasm. The dude is old, but he’ll be able to coach, stop trying so hard.

Bingo, because recruiting is the #1 thing in college football. I wouldn't have a staff member who didn't recruit.

Why does Sullivan have to be a assistant. Why not keep him as a analyst on the shadow staff since he doesn't want to recruit. Then go hire a young up and coming coach for the staff who can recruit. You get the best of both worlds a young guy to recruit and a veteran coach who supposedly is the wide receiver whisperer ( although I doubt his greatness ). Before someone says analyst can't have contact and coach players. You don't really believe anyone follows this rule do you?

You shut the frick up! Y'all disgrace as LSU fans has become so fricking stale! The whining and crying like a woman on her rag! Grow a pair on nuts and support this program or just get the frick out!

This shite going on and on each and every fricking day

Don’t tell me what to do, bitch.

I’ll support the program don’t you worry. Have been for 30+ years.
I’m not into accepting being lied to. But do you, pal. I’m not supporting the administration, there’s a difference.

Sounds like a very good technical coach.


There are few coaches out there with a better technical grasp on the position.

Now, his age and recruiting potential are legitimate concerns, but he's almost the WR equivalent of Jenkins. Unquestionable authority on the pure Xs/Os coaching side of the ledger.

The discussion is regarding age alone as a reason someone can or cannot coach these kids I thought?!? Also, age alone as a reason someone can or cannot “relate” to the players. I sometimes wonder if some coaches try to “relate “ to the players too much if you know what I’m getting at. I’m not trying to be disrespectful or argumentative to your opinion, just offering a different POV

Do you have an actual link to this? Please post. Was it before he got the new job? You could be right, I just never saw it.

Ideally it would be good if he recruited WRs. For the record Ensminger recruited Marshall the #1 WR in the nation and held off a strong push from Jimbo and primary recruiter Dameyune Craig. Go figure.

Canada was known as a less than impressive recruiter and Aranda isn't one either. Our top guys are Tommie Robinson, Meatball, O and Ensminger.

Not everyone hits the road and does the in homes, but they all participate in the official and unofficial visits.

You know what relates to the players? A coach that's been at the NFL level and coached pro-bowlers. Making the next level and pay days sell. Everyone bitches about our staff's lack of experience and now the WR coach has too much damn experience.

I wonder if they could get a waiver for him recruiting? similar to what they were able to do with Pete Jenkins

Yes it is, but yet again he goes and brings up my support of Coach O in this topic in telling me to shut the frick up! We were talking about strictly an age issue here.

Yet these NegiTigers can't and won't give an inch. You can't discuss anything without them all going full retard. They're so consumed with hate it isn't even funny. There is a little saying, "Don't sweat the small stuff".

Because they have blinders on, that's why.

How does a 93 year old man show 18 year olds how to run a route? This I have to see. Bring an AED.


Written by a true punk with a low IQ. He is 73 and has had a strong career, and will teach our WR's what he taught NFL Pro Bowl WR's. He is a good addition to the staff.

If you watch the link on him earlier you understand why he needs to be with the players at practice. He does a great job with explaining the rationale of why they use certain techniques. Comprehension is something good teachers give to their students. Seems to be worth the tradeoff. No problems getting Wr talent to LSU.

If there's one thing we've lacked it's good technical coaches. I'll take that over recruiting. We have plenty of guys that can recruit. Anyway, I'm not sure everyone understands how recruiting works. For example, I would bet a lot of people would be surprised that Ensminger was the primary recruiter for:
Terrace Marshall
Jamal Adams
Tredavious White
Maeua Teuhema
Austin Deculus

Recruiting is typically done by region, not position. When they come in for official/unofficials then they meet the position coaches.

Yes he is old but he knows his shite when it comes to passing and with WR.


Was he holding back until he was promoted like Ensminger at OC will now land a top 10 QB every year?

The most confusing part about this whole Ensminger deal since he has been here is why isn't or hasn't he worked with the QB's? A position that one would think he knows a lot about. This is the one that I don't understand.
