re: LSU hires Scott Linehan as passing game coordinator

Wait, LSU fans have been telling me 80% of it was Ensminger.

Here is the thing....Brady was an unknown. Linehan isn't. There is absolutely nothing "innovative" about what Linehan does.

Seems a lot of people are very confused here.

1. Linehan is not being brought in to install anything, Brady was. The offense we have from last year is installed and isn't changing to a new one. Let's get that out the way first.

2. Linehan is bringing in well over a decade experience coaching in the NFL as a OC, PGC and HC as well as over a decade experience coaching in college as WR, QB and OC at various schools.

3. I see anyone only wants to bring up his last year in Dallas, why not most of his other years? I would assume some arent dumb enough to believe he spent 15 years in the NFL as a mostly wildly unsuccessful coach.

In the end, resume wise, this is a big time hire. He's not coming in to install any offense, his job will be assisting Ensminger to call passing plays and help coordinate that part of the offense that was already installed last season. This is not the same type of hire as Brady, they weren't going out trying to find another new offense to put in.

So basically in the end here, LSU gets blasted and laughed at last year for hiring a totally unproven 29 year old NFL assistant coach to bring in and install a new offense and help coach WRs. This year, to replace him, and not do anything other than help coordinate passing plays (not call offensive plays, not install any offense), we bring in a 15 year NFL high level coach with another decade+ experience coaching in college and...once again get laughed at
