Does Canada keep Grimes or bring in his own guy? I think he brought his online coach with him to NC and they were successful. If not does he make Grimes start playing guys at their natural position and abandon that Miles shuffle crap?
That is funny stuff right there. What a world....a random LSU fan, golf enthusiast with a twitter account makes it on a sports blog, and then gets linked here like he's got it all figured out. Pardon me tap, tap, tap, but there are posters here with far more analytical ability and better takes than Michael Shamburger. What sense does it make to simply put "Canada's stats" up side-by-side with LSU and claim some sort of reasonable argument that he's barely better than what LSU has had? Compare Canada against Canada and the results he's had in his career. In 2011 in his one year at Northern Illinois, their offense was in the Top 12 nationally in Total Offense, Rushing Offense, and Scoring Offense. Horrible, though....right? In his 3 years at NC State, both YPG and overall National Ranking improved year-over-year. YPG, PPG, and RZ% also increased year-over-year. Just God awful. In 2015, against Miss St in the Belk Bowl, NC State put up 424 yards and 28 points. LSU played Miss State too....put up 266 yards and 21 points. Really bad hire, that Canada. From 2008-2010 at Indiana (from Shamburger's own link), Total Yards went from 4178 to 4380 to 4650. Yards Per Game went from 348 to 365 to 388. What the hell was he thinking? Nobody should improve an offense.....right? Just think what he might have done at those schools if they'd had half the Defensive talent of LSU. When your D spends all their time on the field, your Offense has little time to put up the numbers and yet everywhere he's been, he's put things in a better place than when he arrived.
Fun multi-part fact about Canada: a. He was a finalist for the Frank Broyles Award (goes to the nation's top assistant coach) this year. b. He was the only offensive coordinator among the 5 finalists. c. The award went to Clemson defensive coordinator Brent Venable. d. When Canada and Venable went head-to-head this year, Canada's O put up 464 yards and 43 points, as Pitt handed Clemson its only loss of the regular season.
