re: With Brady gone, I really don't feel confident with Ensminger at OC.

I rarely say this but just stop. Coach O is fine with Steve so we should be too. We just won it all so I think they know what they're doing.

Joe Brady was masterful at dialing up the play. Joe Burrow was masterful at execution or, if he read something different, making the audible.

That combo is very rare. Sean Payton and Brees have it. Take Brees away and Payton is less of a coach.

We've lost the 2 biggest factors that accounted for our production on offense this season.

Hopefully Brennan and Emsminger can establish that sort of connection next year but it's pretty unlikely.

Not seeing why the OP's getting all the downvotes. He's mostly quoting E. Those aren't the kind of things the "best" coordinator says.

I dont think Ed wants to retreat one step. He knows where E is capability wise.

I don't think E will be flying solo in the booth.

U def are not coach Brown. He was always positive . You need to change screen name.

Yeah If we don’t go out and hire someone like Brady and just let Ensminger be the guy by himself that is how you slip back to 3/4 loss misery



I mean this is the same OC people lost their minds over getting the job and scored a total of zero points in two tries vs Bama

Good catch.

how do you do that?

Do what?

Another thing. Last year at this time we had Ensminger at OC and no Brady. And Ensminger delivered the greatest offense in the history of offense. He’ll go get whomever he needs.

Ignore the downvotes it’s a valid concern. The history of Ensminger under O has been mixed but the elephant in the room is his unprecedented failures vs Bama. The first version under O in 2016 was promising, with Cams system in place he used it really well most games breaking an SEC total offense record vs Missouri in his first game. We were explosive in the run game and Danny Etlings passer rating jumped 24points from the 125 to 149 range. He was creative with the WRs using Jet Sweeps for Chark increasing Dupre’s production and utilizing Travin Durals previously ignored run after catch ability in the slot. But he also called an awful game vs Bama with the Defense providing opportunity after opportunity, including a first play INT that gave us the ball on the Bama 30 where he produced nothing. His second time around 2 years back was worse. This time though it wasn’t really on him. He was given a matter of 6-8 months to construct and implement a brand new offense that was conceived in Os fantasy. Then he didn’t get his QB until weeks before the season started. Still he was much to deliberate, confused and in kindve a make it up as you go mode. He also called another stinker vs Bama which looked like he’d learned nothing from the previous two seasons. I love Ensminger personally, he’s as true blue as they come and will do anything for LSU, the question is does he have a good enough grasp of what Brady was doing to beat the best. That’s the one hurdle he’s never come close to crossing.
