We know you realize this, but wanted you to specifically hear it.

You are an awesome Tiger. You are greatly appreciated.

The fans never meant to point any resistance to you.

It was about the process, and a broken promise.

It is about a long term unhappiness about not contending for SEC West titles, even though the talent pool we have is good enough to populate the NFL more than any other program.

You, sir are upstanding and dedicated. We know you give your all.

The disdain is at others who have decided to tell us one thing, and to do another.

It is very unfortunate to know the failure of others may seem pointed at you. It isnt.

The chance you had at Bama was poor, but we also know other factors were limiting, so while you were un successful in that game by any objective assessment, our dissapointment was amplified by years of offensive ineptitude.

We know you and the staff will do your best.

Good luck to a good Tiger.

Well said. That is where we find ourselves. No point rehashing x,y, and z. Press ahead and GT!

Go getum Coach !! It’s your show this time around, no interim tag. You get to start with a clean sheet of paper. Be creative & not afraid to take chances. Hope every single negative comment adds fuel to the fire.
Good luck!

P.S. Steve, although you have been on staff for a while, your new position is much higher profile. As such, we as fans will occasionally make light hearted jokes related to your age, such as, ‘Steve recommends prune smoothies for the pregame meal’, or ‘practice was cancelled today because Steve made everyone get off his lawn’.

To be fair.. I would loved to have seen what happened if Ensminger flat out turned them down, or quit instead.

Would have probably sped up the inevitable.

Well, he is being asked to do this, reportedly, out of loyalty. Doubt he ever gave that a thought. He loves the Tigers. He IS a Tiger.

It's a f'n shame that such a loyal Tiger was put in this situation.

I want to know what made him accept the position when he stated last year he didn’t want it

Well said sir. Although not a Central alum I have known Steve since we got out of high school. In his day he was a great baller and "brawler"! Yep I seen him in action both ways!
While maybe not our first choice he is the choice and we will support him. We may not agree but will support LSU!
NOW...flame away cry baby "O" bashers!!!
