The #1 fact

If the whole offense returns with a new OC and QB coach we may have a chance to put out a quality offense in 2019.

We might as well let Ensminger have a second year to have his offense fully installed. We're not beating Bama next year with Tua anyway.

sure we do. but I am not averse to getting a new OC.

I'm not averse to it either, but the OP is dead on, our Oline is terrible and has been all year. Not their fault, and we all knew they were at best a mystery. They're young and not very good. They are by far the team's worst unit.

#1 fact is the OC not doing his job. I dont have excess to films of Alabama but I could tell halfway thru first quarter that you cant play action against them. Their 3 down linemen dont bite and it gives them 2 more steps to the quarterback, by the time he turns around they are half way there. Put him in shotgun back him up 5 steps and use their speed against them to side step.

Make them run farther to get to Qb, also creates more space for screens and gives receivers more time to make cuts.

Please name one OC that has consistently beat Saban at Alabama...

i can give you a list of 8 guys that scored more this year alone then E has in two tries combined.

True, but we have to bring in much better OL recruits next year or else this will be repeated often.

I agree. hell, we've looked damn good in several games this year. it is the OL that is our achilles heel as they were the main cause in both of our losses. next year they should be bigger and stronger and hopefully, our tackles have better footwork.

If this was just a scholarship program with guys having fun playing football and not keeping score, let E stay. But if we want to compete and win in football he has got to go.

I fully agree with the feeling that the O-Line is the biggest problem on offense. However I have serious questions regarding whether it will get better. My concern is the lack of athleticism on the both the O-line & the D-line. When I compare LSU's line to the other top programs, I see a group of players who are overweight, slow and not agile. This is a conditioning problem and it needs urgent attention.
LSU has had trouble for several years on both sides of the ball with teams who have been smaller and quicker. To me there are very few tackles over 300 ibs. who can handle these speed rush guys off the corner. LSU must work on conditioning the guys already here and start recruiting better tackles. We have a house full of guards and no real centers or tackles.
