It's not hard to read between lines, and the fact that you even want to argue that he is not objectively better than Ensminger tells me all I need to know.

Yea, I love running off people that are talented for TE coaches that don't even want the job.

I'll take Canada over Ensminger every day of the week, and it's not close. It's all relative.

You coach a college team too? Dang. This board is full of bigtime head coaches.

Isnt that the game where Gage rushed for almost 9 yards a carry and scored a td,all on jet sweeps?

If I'm not mistaken, in that same game, Derrick Dillon had a 30 yard gain, not to mention chark averaged 8 yards a carry. All on the same play in the gif. Oh yeah we won 17 to 16, un like the 8 point loss last season.

Well since we like to compare offensive production across seasons against the same teams (people do this repeatedly with Alabama like it means something)....Ensminger's 2018 offense outgained and outscored Canada's offense in 2017 against Florida.

I don't believe Ensminger was a good hire, but jesus christ, it was clear Canada was not a good fit here. Ensminger not being good either doesn't make Canada a good coach. And he was paid almost twice as much as we're paying Ensimnger for essentially the same results.

straight from the mouth of one of the smartest people on the team

- said Canada is brilliant. one of those super smart guys that can't tolerate stupidity, said he's kinda a dick but that players liked him overall.

- O neutered him very early. mixed response from players

- most players knew from the get-go that it wasn't going to work out. too many cooks in the kitchen, Canada didn't like Baton Rouge, didn't like O.

It's even more clear that Ensminger shouldn't have gotten the job after Canada was shipped off.

It's npt hard to answer a direct question. Does Ensminger possibly being worse than Canada mean Canada is a good coach? There is no reading in between the lines. That seems to always be the argument that if anyone says Canada was a bad fit, herp derp well Ensminger didn't score against Alabama, as if that completely invalidates any claim that Canda wasn't good here either (notice I said "either," meaning Ensinger hasn't been great either). maybe just maybe neither one of them are good, but you keep on keeping on thinking this is all about comparing the two.

Two years ago, I wonder what schools would have considered hiring E as their OC?

ok?

Canada being a good coach makes him a good coach.

Is that why he's unemployed? because he's such a good coach? Is that why he never stays anywhere longer than a year?

Almost as if his system has worked 2-3 years in his entire coaching career. You know who else won a Broyles award like Canada and had some success at times? Gary Crowton.

So because I don't agree with you that Canada is a good coach, I'm dumb. Ok

To recap on Canada just recently:

- He was fired at NC State in 2015 after having his best season there, it came out of nowhere but then leaks came out he was hard to deal with

- He lasted a few games here before the coaches started butting heads with him...our AD having to get involved in the matter (which was embarrassing), was let go after the season

- He was named interim coach at Maryland this past season, to which he was not hired full time (they hired Locksley who has a horrific record as HC) and even sacked from OC duties as they hired someone else there too and currently doesnt have a OC/HC job in late June

- To add: Pitt, the place we hired him from after his 2016 season there which was good, passed over him for OC as they hired Mark Whipple instead...the same HC who hired him in 2016, Narduzzi, decided to go with Whipple over potentially re-hiring Canada

Canada had a few good years as OC, but he certainly isn't worth the headache now at multiple stops he's been at giving him the seal of disapproval it seems.

It's 1 thing to be hard to deal with and be a Nick Saban, it's another thing to be a decent but nothing special coach who has to job hop constantly due to circumstances off the field. Canada was never going to work here and he never would have likely had an elite offense here, so I understand moving on from him.
