Brady was brought in to install a RBO segment to the offense. SE openly admitted he know nothing about RPOs. Brady learned that from Morehead at Penn St. He also added some aspects of the saints passing game.
Besides the improvement at QB the LSU WRs improved immensely. That was a direct result of Brady. He added drills and techniques never seen before at LSU anyway. They wore goggles that made them focus on straight ahead vison, no side vision. He had them stand behind closed doors that would open when ball was almost at receiver. They had monitors that would determine if their vision was better running a route right to left or left to right.
No matter who EdO brings in as PGC the "O" will be the same as '19. There will be a drop-off no doubt. Don't think it will be as significant as most outside of LSU are expecting.

I met him, Coach E, a couple times when he was at Clemson. Seemed like a really nice guy. I was working at a school in his recruiting area that didn’t have anyone that could play at Clemson, but he still came and sat and talked a while anyway. Hope he is doing well after the tragedy he went through before the semifinal

LSU had a QB that can't be replaced and one of those teams that had the right chemistry. Some coaches can create that chemistry. Those are the ones that win multiple NCs or have teams that exceed what average coaches couldn't create while some have everything come together by chance and are one hit wonders. O has never shown the ability to create teams like that so he is most likely the latter. We'll see.

i like the idea of going back. This year just felt weird. Too easy. I've grown accustom to relying on defense to bail us out. It's in my blood

Well, except against bama.

Going into the '18 season some of the socalled college football experts, paid pros and plenty plenty of the rant, didn't even have tigers making a bowl. EdO guided them to a 10 win season.
LSU's '20 "O" will be just fine. Maybe we only score 30-40-50 points a game.

Okay. You can believe it if you want, but that sounds like a coach that does not want to hang Ensminger out to dry.
I will believe that Brady was the moving force behind that offense.
You don't just overhaul and offense that quickly without having somebody running things that knows thta offense frontwards and backwards. I would be willing to bet that Ensminger never ran an offense like that before, yet you believe Orgeron said he wanted to overhaul the offense and Ensminger learned a new offense and offensive philosophy...taught it to the players in one off season?
Okay.
Look. I have said often that Orgeron deserves all the credit. he saw what was needed, and went out and got the coach that could do it, then stepped out of the way and allowed him to do it. I will never believe that Ensminger learned a totally new offense and offensive philosophy (meaning what the correct calls would work against various defenses) and then taught that offense to the players. That just doesn't happen over night...which is why when a team goes to a different type of offense they typically bring in a new OC.

just don't see Ensminger changing what he has done for decades. When LSU is in a tight game, he will do what he is most comfortable doing. It is obvious Brady had a huge influence on last years O.

You said we are moving away from the spread, I know without a doubt you are wrong

Why would he be worried about hanging him out to dry? That article was written before LSU played Oklahoma, back when everyone assumed Brady would be back for at least another year. There was no reason to dress anything up.

Why do you think they call him Slinger? Dude has ran some wide open offenses, he just never seemed to be at a school with some great offensive talent like LSU had in 2019.
2019 was only Ensminger's second season as LSU's offensive coordinator.

You must have missed LSU's 2018 season after the Alabama game.
In the last 3 games of 2018, LSU averaged 24/66 passing (66%), for 350 yards and 3.3 TDs.

but it wasn't the O you ran last year.
I am not sure why LSU fans have such a hard time understanding that the O last year is nothing like what Ensminger has ever run before? Watch those last three games and tell me it looked like last years O.

Maybe a bad choice of words. he didn't want to embarrass Ensminger. (I am just guessing about this) He talked Ensminger into taking the OC job when the last guy left, and he didn't want to embarrass Ensminger by firing or replacing him in a public way.
quote:

He got that nickname when he was playing, not because of his coaching!
To many of his players, he’s “Slinger” — a reference to his quarterbacking days, when he handed off to Charles Alexander and rifled passes to Carlos Carson.

You might be able to pull that off with some of these guys, but I was born in baton Rouge and grew up a LSU fan. I am very familiar with Ensminger. Trust me. he has never run an offense like LSU had this past year.

As Georgia's passing game coordinator in the early 1990s, the Bulldogs threw it all over the lot. The word when Ensminger was fired at Texas A&M in 1996 was it because he didn't run the ball enough.

I get it. I mean, if they admit that Brady was the brains behind the offense they think the magic will be gone. But that isn't true. Orgeron can still find somebody that can run something very similar.
It is odd that they refuse to admit that the offense was different in 2018 from what it was in 2019.
