There was hope for LSU’s offense.

Coach Ed Orgeron had lured highly regarded offensive coordinator Matt Canada from Pitt to revolutionize the Tigers’ offense and not have it be just a stale running attack that looked to be falling behind other SEC powers.

Canada lasted one season.

He’s out and Orgeron confidant Steve Ensminger is in as offensive coordinator, which means the Tigers could return to a more pro-style attack. That’s not written in stone, and LSU could continue to pursue a spread or multiple offense. But it certainly has to be worrisome that Canada is out so fast, right?

Ensminger, the former LSU tight ends coach, went on a rant during his introductory press conference about not reading the newspaper in 20 years and that he stays off Twitter and Facebook as well, also encouraging his family to stay off social media. That's probably a good idea, since there are a lot of questions about how he’ll steer the LSU ship.

During an eight-game stretch to close out the 2016 season, Ensminger was the interim offensive coordinator and the Tigers increased production across the board. So there’s hope. But is he the right person to take over LSU’s offense now? Can he continue any sort of progress made during Canada’s short stint in Baton Rouge?

Or, as some LSU fans fear, will the Tigers resort back to familiarity - and that means lots of running up the middle.

“I believe the decision that Orgeron made to elevate Steve Ensminger is a mixed bag. On one hand it's admirable that he's loyal to people who are loyal to him, but on the other hand it was a flawed process. Les Miles got fired for refusing to modernize his offense and for routinely going 9-3. This decision by Ed Orgeron isn’t doing anything to break the perception that LSU is falling to the middle of the pack of the SEC. In defense of Ensminger, if the offense struggles this fall it will more than likely be because of a lack of above-average personnel at both quarterback and running back.

“LSU fans hope that Myles Brennan is closer to Tommy Hodson on the Tigers’ quarterback scale, rather than just a strong-armed Rick Clausen. We will find out, but because LSU is lacking a premier running back opponents are going to stack the box and force Brennan to get it done with his arm. As far as recruiting, there is not a marquee quarterback in Louisiana for 2019, so LSU must go out of state to recruit a top-flight quarterback or two. I have real doubts about Orgeron's ability to go anywhere in the country and win a recruiting battle for a quarterback if he's going up against Ohio State, Alabama, Clemson, Georgia and other elite powers.”

“They have to be innovative, but they were supposed to be innovative under Canada. That was his calling card. I’m not really sure if this is a step forward or a step back.

“It seems to be a desperate move after one year. Usually, desperate moves don’t work out, so I’m not really all that sold on the change.”
