What is your biggest concern regarding Ensminger?

I did not like the fact that O promoted Ensminger to OC...
However, there are things to like about him being OC. He’s an LSU man through and through, and he has a complete knowledge of various offenses.
My concern isn’t that he can’t succeed, but that there will be times where he struggles. What happens then will be key.
We have heard that O trusts him. That’s easy to say in the preseason or when the offense is working. If Ensminger’s offense starts to struggle in a game, though, how long will it be before O panics and interferes? Will there be tension internally like last year? O has shown a propensity to panic when things aren’t going his way.
I have more confidence in Ensminger to figure things out and work through his struggles than I do in Orgeron trusting him to make the right adjustments when things aren’t going well.
Hopefully O has learned to leave the offense alone and trust his guy.

That he hasn't implemented any sort of system in 2 decades. That should be a huge concern for all fans.

My biggest concern is he’ll take advice and say yes sir to our Dline coach.

That Ed O will control him and thus our offense.

That he hasn’t ran his own offense in years
He wasn’t a good OC when he was coaching that position. When he left auburn al borges came in and made Jason Campbell a good quarterback. He sucked under ensminger.
I’m concerned he is just a yes man to orgeron.

Not knowing what kind of schemes he will run.
We looked great against the weaker teams not so much against the 2 decent defenses that we faced

I'm not concerned about this. I know it as fact.
ETA: So Steve hasn't installed his own offense in basically 20 years. So in terms of the modern game he's pretty green as an OC but he's also at a pretty advanced age. My biggest concern is we'll essentially have the inexperience of a first time OC mixed with the stubbornness of an older coach. Which to me seems like an absolute recipe for disaster.

Biggest concern is him not having installed an offense in nearly two decades, and the last one he installed isn’t the one he is installing now. How does he teach within this system having never done so before? Without having installed this offense and experienced going through a season with it, how well does he anticipate and adapt to the moves and counter moves from opposing DCs to stop it? While he is an experienced assistant, he doesn’t have any recent experience doing all of the things required of an OC, outside of calling plays on gameday, and he doesn’t have any experience coordinating the kind of offense we are allegedly moving toward.

That his scheme from the 80s will be outdated. I have trust in him as well though because he is atleast saying he will do RPOs and use our WR talent. He has everything he needs to put up big numbers except a feature back.

I thought our offense looked great two years ago when he took over except bama game. He should have played Harris as he had nothing to lose. Etling played scared and you just tell he was not going to do anything. Also should have gave Guice way more carries . It was evident they had Fournettes number.

He was running Cameron’s offense and it sucked against the good defenses it faced.

That Orgeron's propaganda department will successfully blame this season on Ensminger.

My biggest concern about Ensminger is that he hasn't been an OC in 20 years. He has specifically stated he didn't want to be OC. And O had to talk him into accepting the job. There's really not a lot to go off of regarding Ensminger.
There are no excuses this year for Ed though. He has the coach he wants.

More concern about this. How is he going to do on game day?

It’s one of my biggest concerns as well. However, if the offense does fail, there’s no way people will buy the attempts by Orgeron to throw the 2nd OC in 2 years under the bus.
Posted on 7/30/18 at 1:55 pm to 00 Tech Grad
No. Coach O wanted Ensminger in the first place. Well now he has him, there are no more excuses for O.
Posted on 7/30/18 at 1:57 pm to 00 Tech Grad
He hasn't been an OC since the mid 90's and wasn't very good even then.
That should concern everyone.

One thing is for certain, Orgeron is out of excuses.
He has his coaches and his players. If he fails, its all on him.

Joe Burrow! A good quarterback can make almost any coach look good.
Example! Favre - Hallman

That his offense is so good it takes all the pressure off the D
His offense is so good that to many 5 star QB's will want to come to LSU
That he is so good Bama will want to fire Nick and then we will have to replace him
That ESPN will run a special on the most under paid OC in football - he is that good
