Why did we hire Linehan instead of giving Russ Callaway a shot?

He’s a young offensive mind like Brady who ran some of the best spread offenses in college football at Samford. Why not put him with Ensminger? Now we have old NFL guy helping old college guy. You also have an impressive young guy in Tyler Tettleton just hanging around as an analyst. It doesn’t make sense to me. Having experience is great but you also need some young blood mixed in to give things done energy.

Why do we need Ensminger at all? I'm honestly confused as to what he provides that is utterly essential.

LSU paying Ensminger & Linehan a combined $1.8mil dollars is one of the most dumbfounding offensive structures I can remember

Is it better or worse than paying Pelini a 3 year 2.3m annual contract?

Honestly I hope Ensminger wants to retire at the end of the year so change HAS to happen. He really is one of the most likable guys and he will step down himself if he thinks he’s not doing the job. I think he’s getting to that point where he wants less not more in his plate. We need a guy running the offense who studies, lives, breathes and eats how to score points and that’s not slinger anymore. Give a young guy a chance and it just so happens we have one of the best young minds just waiting for his chance. Move Calllaway to OC next year and Tettleton can coach QB in the Munoz role from last season. What’s the worst that could happen?

It’s so stupid. I have never in my life seen an NFL retread bring anything creative or innovative to the game of football. I said even before we got Brady, I would make it a point to get an under 40 up and comer to run my offense. All the best offenses in college and the NFL except for Leach are coached by young guys but LSU has a bunch of geriatrics.

I couldn’t believe he decided to come back any way. Last year was a perfect time to ride off into the sunset and just enjoy your family. He’s gonna stay long enough to get fired. Because that’s what happens to most college coaches at some point.

I don’t think Linehan vs. Callaway or Tettleton is much of an issue right now.

I do think Linehans time here will be fairly short
