So more evidence there was NO search? That actually makes me slightly mad

why? I do believe the HC has a right to select his OC; it's part of his job description. hell, he selects all of his coaches.

I guess you are naïve. OR you are one of those that thinks the Rant should select the coaches.

Now we have a coach and an offensive coordinator that literally stood in front of the entire world and when asked about what kind of offense we would run said the following...

And here's what he said last year:

quote:

It's been a tremendous process of going out and being able to recruit the top, the best offensive coordinators in the country, and we got him, Matt Canada.

We are excited to have him. He's a great man. He's put up tremendous numbers at several different spots that he's been at. Everyone I called, people that work for him, he's a great team guy. Win first.

The players love him. He's great on game day, a great caller, multiple shifts, multiple formations, makes it tough on defensive coordinators that are called across the league that played against them, one of the toughest guys to go against, very creative mind, can make adjustments during the game, and is very hard to go against.

You know, one of the things I really liked in our interview is that I felt that he fit in with our staff. One team, one heartbeat. And he's about team, he's about winning. He didn't talk to him about the lofty numbers that he put up, the things that he did, the great things that he did as a coordinator, but I know this: He's had success in several different systems.

He's done a great job of coaching quarterbacks, whether it be in a spread offense, whether it be a pro-style offense, whether the quarterbacks are running the ball or throwing the ball, the guy knows what he's doing.

We're very fortunate, very fortunate, to have, in my opinion, and the opinion across the country, two of the top coordinators at LSU in Matt Canada and Dave Aranda.

Good job Wayne of actually going and finding something. Most on here just say hateful things but cannot actually have a convo about it.

I know what O said about Canada and I agree with everything about Canada. I liked his offense. I liked Canada. But unfortunately he and O did not get along. O is the boss. I am a business owner and if someone that I employ does not get along with me they are gone. Regaurdless of how good they are. In Os case it came to how Canada his job and how he called plays. O didn’t like it so he gone.

Now moving forward. I’m really excited about the possibility of having either Brennan or Narcaisse in a RPO offense which is the type of offense that I think I have wanted at LSU over Anything.

So you're ok with him lying to you?

Or do you think Ensminger is one of the best OCs in college football?

---

I'm convinced at first Orgeron was talking specifically about Kiffin when he made comments about the best coordinator in the country. Then, when that fell through, rather than man up and admit that he swung and missed, he perpetrated the charade and forced the Canada hire. I really wish he hadn't been such a chicken shite and just swallowed his pride and hired Ensminger last year, since that's obviously who he really wanted.

I doubt our record would have been any different and we'd have some continuity going into next year's brutal schedule. Plus, I'm worried that they're going to be inclined give this experiment two years anyway and I would rather be a year into it right now.

LMAOOOOOOO....only the RANT had a coaching search for OC of LSU.... their was never any mention of an OC search from LSU other than what you read here from ranters or the media...

I think that’s the thing, he is the boss so they are his choices, but no one likes the choices he made

(no message)

That’s my point, they are his choices, I’m trying to say the reason people are disagreeing with you it because they don’t like his choices and because he is saying he will do things that he’s not actually doing

What evidence do you need? Orgeron said at the Ensminger announcement press conference that there wasn't a search. Does anyone on this board watch or listen to actual news?
