I wasn't a huge fan of the O hire at LSU, but I do think he gets a lot of hate leftover from his Ole Miss days. It may or may not be founded, and this year is going to go a long way to putting those concerns to rest, or reinforcing them. He's made some decent moves talent wise over the summer, and did what he needed to retain the best DC in CFB, but the Ensminger hire (on paper) is a head scratcher.

This is very fair. He is a true head scratcher and hard to figure out. It didn't help that he lost to Troy last year, but on the other hand he beat a good Auburn team. He should be given a certain measure of respect, with a lot of "wait and see" mixed in with it.
