    How accurate of a picture do you get of the offensive coordinator when you're looking at

    The QB, his passes, along with the drops, and the throw aways, and of course the completions. "When clean?" Perhaps I'm alone here but this a "stat" I find pretty useless. Literally, two of the factors in the *formula* are subjective; drops and throw aways.

    This is both rich and ironic.

    Last year around this same time one thing that was repeatedly pointed out was "Ensminger isn't the guy for the spread offense concept." You made your judgements on that opinion and certainly didn't welcome evidence.

    It's no coincidence we're seeing what we're seeing. It's the same result as we saw in 2008 when Ensminger was given the reigns to an offense. As succinctly and respectfully as it could be that was pointed out, to you, here.

    And now we're seeing what I'll call the " / thread " quote ...from page two, tiga's post/link.

    By Ensminger's own admission:

    Orgeron said he went to Ensminger in the offseason and said, “We’ve got to go to the spread. He said, ‘I agree. Let’s get somebody who knows it and let them put it in.’ ”

    Hey not doubting that O and E wanted help with advancing the passing game. So with that said shouldn't that say something about the chracter of both O and E and especially E? Because they want to improve the offense does that mean E is an awful OC?

    Question for you; do you doubt the well documented issues on offense that E had to deal with last year? See below in red.

    So let me get this straight. Burrow was on camous in May and only Fall practice to work with the entire team. Started out not knowing his recievers, his RB's and the playbook or his OC, would you agree with this? So he comes in has 25 days to get acclimated to his coaches, his players and learn our playbook, am I still right so far? So O&E have to start the first game of the season against a good Miami team on the road with a new QB whom they have had only 25 days to get to know as the starting QB with this offense, is this true? So we start the season with a beat up OL that suffered a lot of attrition plus losing our best offensive lineman to legal issues with new starters at RB who were good but average at best, WR's who were good but inexperienced and untested along with having one yes that's one count em true TE, are you in agreement? In addition the first 6 games are played with a different starting offensive line in each game because of injuries, do you agree?

    With that said will wait for your answer and if O and E are so bad why did we do so well last year with so many issues on offense? Did we go from # 18 in the nation in 2017 to # 6 in the nation in 2019 is that true and is that a lot of improvement?

    Any low expectations were directly related to disrespect of coaching staff.

    Yes I know you guys don't respect O and E I do you have it bass acward. I had high expectations for O and E and lower expectations for the team based on the reality of the issues mentioned way too often here by me.

    O, E and the team exceeded my expectations in 2018. From #18 in 2017 to #6 in 2018 argue with those numbers all you like but that's reality.

    Here is a couple of these books in case you lose one.

    LSU offensive coordinator Steve Ensminger has a proposed one-year contract extension on the agenda for Friday's LSU Board of Supervisor's meeting, along with extensions for three other assistant coaches and a contract change for deputy athletic director Verge Ausberry.
