For the record, I hope LSU wins every game they play in all sports! I support the players and “LSU”. If Burt and Ernie were HC and OC I would cheer them on to the fullest. But this regime is pathetic! And saying so doesn’t make me a negatiger, it makes me realist instead of a sunshine pumper.

I gave 0 a change last season. He lost by 30 to a mediocre Mississippi St, team. LOST to Troy, and shite the bed against Bama. Yes LSU had more yards than Bama but they had 14 few points. He also lost to Notre Dame.

Now let’s look at how thenoff season started. Firing Canada and hiring his buddies. He had his chance and I don’t think he will change.

The chance that should have been given is Canada with Brennan and Narcisse. If either or both of them are great, they can make E look good. I'm not even saying Canada is great, we'll never know because he was stuck with Etling. I don't know if anyone remembers, but Cam was there when Mett, Jarvis, and Odell lit it up. Were any of you lining up to give him credit as he was being ushered out with Miles? It's never that simple. This is still a bad hire even if it works out. Incest, cronyism, and retreading is not how you build a championship program.

this may be the dumbest shite I see posted on here lately. Tell us how you have supported them in the past? If you are a fan you don't do something to hurt the program.

"hey everybody lets show them who's boss and quit renewing season tickets, buying anything LSU, giving them any support" Yeh that will help the program you stupid fricks

A chance at what? Proving everyone wrong?

Think about that for a second...why would we hire two men who, if they do their jobs well and ultimately succeed it will have proven everyone wrong?

The fact is, while Steve Ensminger is certainly a Tiger and from all accounts a good man, he is NOT and SHOULD NOT have been anywhere near the position to have been considered for the OC position. And there is no argument to the contrary. The man has not had an OC job since the Clinton Administration, and yet we're being told by some that he's the best in the country...that he was our only option...that we need to give him a chance?

What about our program leads anyone to believe that our best option for OC just happened to be our sitting TE's coach who had not coordinated anything for two decades?

When can we stop pretending that we're not obviously taking huge steps backwards while our competition in the league are taking obvious steps forward?

There's being positive, and then there's being willfully delusional.

I was skeptical of the hire but generally supportive of O and hopeful for the future.


One of THE ONLY reasons I've pumped the brakes a bit is not because of who we hired, but the circumstances surrounding the hire. You fire Canada...if he truly was toxic then good move. If it was just Ed being stubborn then dumb move. Either way, you now have a situation where most of these kids would be into their third OC/offensive system.

O knows that he doesn't have much time. So, he doesn't feel comfortable bringing in a guy that has to not only teach players a new system, but build rapport. Sometimes that happens fast and the turnaround is quick. But that's not a guarantee. Time is short for O.

Op is right. And so are the critics. Tough spot all the way around.

He learned from his mistakes at Ole Miss

Just curious why we have to give Ensminger and O time and chances with their track records, but a guy with a proven track record (Canada) we don't give any time to. Why is that?

The narrative is that his scheme sucked (O hired him anyway) and he was a cancer inside the football ops building (again...O hired him knowing he was hard to work with) so he was rightly paid off and shown the door.

That's why...

The following statements can coexist:
1. I will pull for LSU to win every game next year and set offensive records regardless of the OC or HC. Same as last year.
2. I think hiring Steve Ensminger is a step back for the program and not conducting a true OC search is borderline gross mismanagement of the program. I could be wrong, but I’m in the majority. No non-LSU fan disagrees with this statement.

How am I not a fan again?

Most of us gave O a chance. And then MSU happened. And then Troy happened. And then ND happened. And then losing Canada happened.

When do you cut bait?
