Since Hugh Freeze likely won't be hired to do his recent history and poor relationship with O, here are the possible candidates per Billy Gomila (besides ensminger...) So who do you take?

Steve Sarkisian: currently the offensive coordinator with the Atlanta Falcons, long-time USC assistant with Orgeron. Once upon a time, he was considered one of the best play-callers in the sport. His year in Atlanta hasn’t exactly gone smoothly, and he may desire to return to the college game. He definitely expressed interest in a job with LSU and Orgeron last year.

Tee Martin: USC offensive coordinator, worked with Orgeron as an assistant in Troy. While it seems unlikely that Martin would take a lateral move from a higher-profile job, the fact that he seemed to get almost no traction for the Tennessee job could push Martin back to the SEC, where he could prove himself working under a non-offensive-minded head coach.

Matt Lubick: co-offensive coordinator, Washington. Lubick served as receivers coach with Orgeron at Ole Miss, and has long been considered a rising star as a position coach, and a very strong recruiter.

Dan Enos: the former Arkansas OC runs a style that is very similar to Canada’s and did some great work with the Allen Bros. in Fayetteville. His play-calling also gave the Tigers some fits this year, even if the Razorbacks never seriously threatened to win the game. Enos is currently unemployed, although he’s been rumored for a number of jobs, including both Tennessee and Missouri.

Brennan Carroll: currently the Seattle Seahawks assistant offensive line coach, Carroll, the son of Pete, has worked in a variety of offensive rolls at Miami and USC over the last few years.

Gunter Brewer: North Carolina's co-OC/receivers coach has a strong rep as a recruiter, and worked on the offensive staffs of Mike Gundy in addition to Larry Fedora over the years.

Dan Werner: former Ole Miss offensive coordinator under both Freeze and Orgeron, now an analyst with Alabama. Has family issues that have limited his recruiting responsibilities in recent years. That alone would probably limit his chances.

Noel Mazzone: the former Texas A&M offensive coordinator worked with Orgeron at Ole Miss, although reportedly not on good terms. He’d arguably be less popular of a hire than Ensminger, to be honest.

Brian Wright, offensive coordinator at Toledo: his offense under Jason Candle averaged 36 points and 6.9 per play. Also relatively balanced, at some 3,900 passing yards against 2,800 rushing.

Mike Yurcich, offensive coordinator at Oklahoma State: when things were clicking for the Cowboys this season, they had one of the most fun, explosive passing attacks in the country.

Phil Longo, offensive coordinator at Ole Miss: he succeeded in adding a strong running game to the Rebels this year. LSU can offer a raise and a chance for more upward mobility.

Todd Monken, receivers coach for the Tampa Bay Bucs: Monken would be wise to get away from the sinking ship in Tampa (groan). He has history at LSU as Les Miles’ receivers coach early on, and has run some spectacular offenses at Oklahoma State and Southern Miss.

Keith Heckendorf, quarterbacks coach and recruiting coordinator at North Carolina: strong reputation from working with Larry Fedora, and a solid recruiter, particularly of quarterbacks.

Sterlin Gilbert, offensive coordinator at South Florida: Gilbert comes from the Art Briles Bear Raid tree, albeit one of the longer branches, a few degrees removed from the issues with sexual assault at Baylor. Gilbert’s done some impressive work the last few years with Charlie Strong at both Texas and South Florida.

Additions:

Tony Elliott- co-offensive coordinator Clemson and runningback coach. Trob being on staff probably limits his chances.

Rob Chudzinski - Offensive Coordinator Colts, rumors that the entire staff may get let go after the season. Guy had a great run at Miami right after O left and has good experience in both leagues.
