Ed Orgeron: 'We're putting together the offense the fans have really always wanted'

This time, Ed Orgeron said there wasn't much convincing to do.

When he named the interim coach in 2016, Orgeron had to convince Steve Ensminger to become his interim offensive coordinator. Eventually, Ensminger accepted and led the Tigers for the final eight games of the season.

LSU averaged 465 yards and 32 points per game in the games that Ensminger called plays for the offense - albeit using Cam Cameron's playbook. Once the Tigers settled in on Matt Canada for the 2017 season, Ensminger slid back to his role as the tight ends coach.

Orgeron and the Tigers parted ways with Canada after the 2017 season and this time, Ensminger said yes.
