    Would love some backstory. Is it as simple as him and O didn’t get along?

    Best we can tell, yeah. From the LSU side, dude is a total asshole and it is why he never stays long anywhere. Some talk of him being too focused on his next step, but who knows.

    I know O really thought Lane wouldn’t get a head job and he was going to land him. Once he missed on that, he just went for the big name he could get.

    I don’t see Ensminger getting the permanent OC gig. If Canada didn’t coach the bowl, that is who was going to. And while I actually think “Slinger” did a good job when he stepped in last year, I don’t think he wants the job.

    Hiring Kevin Sumlin would give LSU a big name and a good OC that can recruit.

    This is totally unrelated but while reading some tweets from Glen Guilbeau about the situation, I saw him say that Aranda isn’t a good recruiter. I had no idea. Is that the feeling from most?

    Don’t know if he would survive being that close to TigerLand.

    First rule, never read Guilbeau or Tiger Droppings.

    He isn’t the bagman type of recruiter. But every recruit that sits with him is blown away when he shows them the scheme. Kids want to play for him. He just isn’t the type to publicly tweet catch phrases. Definitely don’t consider him to be a liability.

    Any SEC schools taking applications for a new fan? If Ensminger gets the permanent OC gig then I might have renounce all fanhood from The University of LSU University.

    Left Wisconsin when Bret left
    Left NC State when they didn't want him
    Left Pitt when LSU gave him crazy money

    Guess Louisiana is having a terrible year then but can't remember Les ever having a class close to as bad as LSU looks.

    He had a couple sprinkled in there, particularly when the state was down.

    Next year will be the test for O. Couple years on the job and the state has some big time players.

    I had the same initial thought as you but like someone else said it looks like the state as a whole is down in talent. Doesn’t mean this is a good class though. Not like they did work in Texas or Florida like they have at times under les. Ed Os thing was supposed to be recruiting and it looks like they are recruiting worse than they were under les.

    LSU people if ed O fails and gets fired after next season, does the AD go as well? Seems like he completely botched this whole thing. Only reason he didn’t get Tennessee level criticism is that he panic hires orgeron quickly after the fisher flirtation failed. The fact that fisher actually left fsu has to make him look even worse.

    LSU bagman that got Dwayne Bowe, Ricky Jean-Francois, and Patrick Peterson must have been executed after buying Valentine. Not a peep from LSU down here since him.

    Surtain doesn't need any bags. His Daddy has been pushing LSU since the kid started playing Optimist. I'm talking kids that were big leans elsewhere and then the bagman showed up

    I can tell you right now that Glenn has no information that Ensminger will be the OC next year. He’s just putting that out there. With that being said, Canada has not been with the program for the last three weeks.

    LSU internally right now is a complete shitshow and this is the first domino to fall.

    They’ve had micro blows ups throughout the entire season. It also wouldn’t shock me if some internal people on O’s side pushed that Canada needs to go.

    And Bowe was an LSU commitment since July going into his SR year

    Why did I need to refresh your memory if you all ready knew all the alleged details of their recruitment?

    I never said RJF was going to FSU, he was penciled into Miami's class that whole recruiting cycle and then visited LSU the weekend before NSD and went there.

    I know Bowe committed to LSU in the summer, what does that have to do with the fact he was a heavy FSU lean and then committed to LSU out of the blue in the middle of the summer?

    Because I knew you were just pulling shit out of your ass

    Miami never even offered RJF

    Bowe committed to LSU in the summer going into his SR year, this wasn't some signing day shocker

    to compare either to Peterson is a huge stretch and they arent even close tbh

    Why do you keep adding things I never said? I never said Bowe was a signing day shocker. I never said RJF was a FSU lean. Funny acting like you know about Bowe's recruitment when you were in middle school while it happened. Everyone in Miami knows why a Norland kid committed to LSU out of the blue after Norland had been sending kids to FSU for years.

    RJF 100% had a Miami offer and was recruited heavily. There were grade issues that had to be worked out and most likely prep school like Hester and that was the plan that was worked out between RJF, the Carol City staff and Miami.

    You are comparing the recruitment's and put all 3 in the same sentence. Peterson may be one of the most obvious bag drop recruitment's of all time. Comparing Bowe and RJF to him is hilariously bad.

    RJF had no miami offer and never officially visited but I'm supposed to believe you that he was going to Miami until LSU dropped bags and he picked them

    :pffft:

    Jesus you are being dbl level dumb. I never compared their recruitments in my original post as you claim, I just said that a bagman got them, not sure how you managed to take a comparison from that at all. Although that FSU degree does make it more understandable.

    LOL at you using RJF's rivals profile from 2005 and taking it as gospel. You think RJF never came on campus even though he lived 10 miles away? That Miami wasn't trying everything they could to get a top 100 kid from a feeder school in their class at a big position of need?

    Listen Canefin this isn't that serious of a debate, but if the school doesn't even get him on campus for an OV and he has no offer..no I'm sorry I don't think the LSU bag man swooped in and stole him from Miami.

    And to put him in the same sentence as the great Patrick Johnson recruitment is a joke
