re: Terrace Marshall Jr. on the O.C. change

I just think he is a person and we all make mistakes. He is the boss of the football team though, plain and simple.

It's telling that these are the strongest arguments in favor of O's moves

"We all make mistakes!"
And
"He's the boss - deal with it!"

The "broke records" meme is so disingenuous too. Since when are individual accomplishments like Guice breaking the longest run from scrimmage credited to the coordinator? I'll throw Ensminger a bone for our stacking up yards against a terrible Mizzou D but let's not act like Fournette and Guice destroying Ole Miss/A&M is some accomplishment for Ensminger.

That’s where I disagree with you, he said he was gonna hire the best OC in the country and he did. Plain and simple. So to say he hasn’t done what he says is false. Then they didn’t get along so because EdO is the boss Canada gotta go. Then he hired Ensminger. So based off of what he said before he feels that E will be one of the top OCs or at least what LSU needs. Now here is where you come into play. You can either believe him or not. It’s your opinion. It’s Ed’s opinion on who he feels is right and I’m gonna side on the side of the professional not someone who is a fan and post on TD. Sorry, no offense meant at all but they are the professionals and we are fans.

So I guess we shouldn't bother even having a message board to discuss LSU sports amirite?

Even if you believe in coach E, you can’t actually think he’s the best in the country, and I’m not trying to convince you to take my side, I’ve been trying to tell you the reason people are disagreeing with you that’s all

Wow

I’m just trying to tell you that y’all really have no idea what you are talking about. We all understand football. But when it comes to the everyday ins and outs of football and LSU football ingeneral we really don’t know anything. So therefore I side on the side of the coaches. The professionals. Dave Aranda, Ed Orgeron, Tommie Robinson etc. these guys have been around football and great coaches. If they weren’t on board with it they would not be here. I’m just trying to say that everyone need to chill out and have a wait and see approach. Please stop saying....we Ed said he was gonna do this and he said he was gonna do that.

On another note, what did the rest of the country think when he was hired?

Cheney to UGA

Cliffs.......
Chaney, who will turn 54 in January, has had mixed success as an offensive coordinator, but he offers experience and a varied background in offensive systems. He has run pass-heavy offenses, but also the power-running attack at Arkansas.

He was the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Pittsburgh this year, where the Panthers ranked 76th in the nation in total offense, and ninth in the ACC at 381 yards per game.

Prior to that Chaney was the offensive coordinator and quarterback coach at Arkansas from 2013-14, and at Tennessee from 2009-12. Under Chaney, the Razorbacks ranked 45th in total offense in 2014, but 106th the prior year.

Chaney was with the St. Louis Rams from 2006-08 as offensive line coach and then tight ends coach. And prior to that he was at Purdue from 1997-2005.

Now there were other things in there that showed well for Chaney about developing QBs and some stuff Narduzzi said about him. Point is, it worked out well for UGA didn’t it. They hired a coach who has had 106th ranked offense in the SEC and almost won a championship. He even coached TE and OL before. So, there is no direct path to the obvious guy. Most of the time these coaches are learning things here and there and hope to put it all together one day somewhere. So please everyone. Chill out!

Why in your mind is he deserving of this level of trust? Professionals are perfectly capable of making shitty decisions. Meddlin Ed has proven that multiple times in the past. Usually you earn trust by proving you can make good decisions first but I guess that doesn't apply to him.

---

Again, I’ll side on the side of all the coaches that are choosing to be around.

You haven't said why though. It's not as if Orgeron has any strong track record of sound decision making to point to.

You're just stifling the conversation because you cannot argue your premise on its own merits.

It’s pretty obvious. If successful coaches are siding with this guy then by all means that’s a sign. If the rant thinks so highly of Dave Aranda and Dave Aranda thinks highly of Ed O then..... Pete Carrol speaks highly of Ed O. Lane Kiffin speaks highly of Ed O. Hell les Miles spoke highly of Ed O. What I’m saying is most speak highly of him. Except a few that post on here.
