what baffles me.......he was hired to be the PCG for an offense he doesn't run. E has run it for one year.
ETA Like an LSU fan stated earlier.....why not go out and get a Payton guy?
I kind of figured they'd started running the college version of the Saints offense and would keep kind of being the feeder system for it - hire a junior member of Payton's offensive staff that he recommended, that guy has a few good years and goes back to the NFL, rinse repeat. Seemed like a pretty damn scary proposition, IMHO.
I'm sure Linehan is a solid coach who is probably a good QB coach and a professional, it was just kind of unexpected.

O's comments during the search.
Apparently he thinks Linehan can add some more wrinkles to what they already have.

"We're looking for different ideas," Orgeron said. "We're looking for things that can add to our already great offense."
The ideal candidate, Orgeron said, is someone who either knows LSU's system "very well" or can "teach us something different."

“The MVP of the whole deal was Steve Ensminger. He never blinked. He knows the offense. He called the majority of the plays. So what I want to do is bring in a passing game coordinator that can help on third down, help in the red zone just like Joe did, expound on our offense. And we’re going to take our time getting the right guy.”

My thoughts as well
It's a head scratcher of a hire. He's your pgc for an offense he doesn't run. Not saying he's not capable, but...odd
I'm not excited or disappointed...just MEH

Payton was displeased when LSU got Brady. This scenario would not be one he would like, at all.
