I think he’s solid; he’s from Sean Payton’s tree. Again, I saw what he did w/ Joe Burrow. Steve Ensminger was the OC from 2018 - 2020 before being moved to Quality Analyst this season.
This was LSU’s O in 2018 pre Brady:
-3rd Down % - 57th
-1st Down O - 33rd
-Completion % - 85th
-Passing - 66th
-RZ Offense - 27th
-Rushing O - 59th
-Scoring O - 37th
-Total O - 68th
Burrow Stats:
2,894 yrds on 58% passing 16 TDs 5 Ints
2019 w/ Brady as passing game coordinator/WR coach:
-3rd Down % - 4th
-1st Down O - 1st
-Completion % - 1st
-Passing - 2nd
-RZ O - 2nd
-Rushing O - 60th
-Scoring O - 1st
-Total O - 1st
Burrow Stats:
5,671 yrds on 76% passing 60 TDs 6 ints
2020 post Brady:
-3rd Down % - 102nd
-1st Down O - 29th
-Completion % - 82nd
-Passing - 15th
-RZ O - 66th
-Rushing O - 109th
-Scoring O - 39th
-Total O - 35th
QBs (Finley, Johnson, Brennan) combined stats:
3,122 yrds on 59% passing 24 TDs 9 ints
Coincidence?
Panthers fans hate him, but who they should hate is CMac who can’t stay healthy, and having chit for QB play in his 1 1/2 tenure as OC.
I think he does very well for us here, and his concepts at the collegiate level w/ TVD will re-write some records.
