When I start making up similar scenarios in my head and posting them here as fact please feel free to call me out.

#1-no one here, and i mean no one, truly knows what O or LSU is doing or not doing.

#2-yet this thread, of the entirety of TD assumes the negative. That O and LSU is doing nothing.

#3-is it even possible for LSU to do something and TD not know?? Oh, the horror!!

Point is to wait to complain. If nothing is done, I will bitch with you. But until you have a reason to get on your soap box, there is a world outside of TD....enjoy it!

Apparently you don't mind making shite up. Canada left LSU, and was mutual. Canada and his spotty record of moving from school to school trying to land a HC position. Coach did make the mistake of hiring him, but I bet he had a lot of pressure to hire him. Canada's offensive style and methods simply don't work in a conference known for great defenses.

---

We cut ties dude. The mutual agreement was to save face in the media. O and Alleva got their BBQ buddy Enminger like they wanted in the first place.

I will tell you one thing though. I thought Canada was a mistake from the get go. Didn't want him at all, but many of you dumbasses sang his praises weeks before we ended up with him.

Prior to Ensminger taking over play-calling duties in 2016, LSU's offense had scored only nine touchdowns and was averaging 18 points and 339.5 total yards per game. In eight games under Ensminger that year, LSU improved drastically in every offensive category as the Tigers averaged 32 points and 464.9 total yards per contest during that span. LSU scored 38 or more points five times under Ensminger, including 54 in a win over Texas A&M and 38 against both Arkansas and Ole Miss. The Tigers averaged 7.1 yards per play and converted 46-of-102 third-down opportunities during that eight-game stretch.

Why don't you first

1. Compare the scoring and total defenses of those teams we lit up

2. Realize we had two first round RBs, and a 3rd drafted RB, playing against the worst run defenses in the country?

Omitting shitty arse group of 5 and FCS teams we played that year, LSU faced in rush defense;

80th TAMU
94th Arkansas
112th Mizzu
120th Ole Miss

4 of those 8 games he play called in we faced some of the worst rush defenses in the country. Fournette ran for 284 on 16 carries vs Ole Miss, Guice ran for 252 vs Arky, and 285 on TAMU. Fournette added 98 yards and 3 TDs vs Arky. Guice and Williams ran for 290 and 6 TDs vs Mizzu.

Basically we lined up and handed the ball off to our ridiculous RBs vs horrid defenses.

LSU was down right awful in every game vs a good defense except Louisville, who I think was just overrated (see their prior two games vs Houston and Kentucky).

Coach E. has been at LSU for 8 years and did very well in the interim 2016 and now this season. He did a great job of mixing the play calling up, making adjustments, and putting the offense in a position to be successful. He will probably never be considered an elite OC. However, with these issues, OL protection and consistency, QB throws, sacks, bad decisions, WR drops, inexperience, RB blocking and mostly no elite RB, are all execution issues and on the players. No one group sucked, but to say it best, it was a "Team effort" that made our offense average and could have been much worse. The flip side is if we can simply execute at a higher level and Coach E. continues to improve, LSU will have one of the best if not the best offense in the country.

You can't be serious with this stupid shite. LSU's offense was awful this year and never made adjustments. Let me just tell you what Kendal Briles did after he lost his first and second string QBs with three more games to go in 2015.

When Stidham went down at half vs Oklahoma St he changed his offense to accommodate. In the first half they ran 21 pass plays and 37 run plays. In the second half they ran 10 pass plays and 36 run plays. They posted 24 points in the first half and 21 points in the second. They ran a ridiculous 104 plays and posted 700 yards.

After seeing how extremely awful his 3rd string QB was when he played in the next game, they doubled down even more on running. After averaging 49.3 rushes per game in the first 10 games with pass first QBs (that includes the game where they ran it 73 times because their QB got hurt), they averaged an insane 73.6 rushes per game over the last 3 games.

In that next game vs TCU, they could do nothing but run that ball, and they ran for 273, on albeit 66 plays. The next game with more improvement, they added a 4th player to take snaps behind center (a WR) and ran for 395 yards on 66 attempts.

With the time to prepare for the bowl game, they ran now with FIVE different "QBs" behind center. They were without their 2 starting passing QBs, their all time leader in TD receptions and statistical giant WR, and their multi year 1250+ yard leading rusher. They broke Baylor and bowl records by rushing for 358 in the first half. They finished off rushing for 645 yards and 7 TDs. The prior backup RB ran for 300 yards and 3 TDs. The 3rd string RB ran for 160, the 4th string RB ran for 100, the WR ran for 60, and the 3rd string QB ran for 30.

THAT is making adjustments. All we did was continue to run long developing pass plays when we knew we had a poor OL. You know what, let me stop, they did do one adjustment. They ran Kirklin one time under center. He fumbled, and they didn't give him another shot. Kirklin played QB in high school and is a pure athlete. Getting him involved should have been more of a priority. If a guy makes a mistake, we immediately go away from him. That was the MO of Miles and now Ed/E.

I'm so tired of the lack of innovation on offense. The lack of any kind of imagination. It's pathetic.

No idea if LSU will ever accept anyone associated with the Baylor program and the rampant sexual assault and rape allegations. I do not know,why LSU would even consider hiring any of them.
