Emotional Steve Ensminger says he worked entire career to be LSU offensive coordinator

An emotional Steve Ensminger says he "worked all my life to have this opportunity" to be the LSU football offensive coordinator.

He spoke during an introductory press conference Thursday, one day after the school announced him as the offensive coordinator to replace Matt Canada.

He showed emotion when talking about former LSU coach Charles McClendon, for whom Ensminger played quarterback and led the Tigers to three bowl game appearances in the late 1970s.

He said his turn as interim offensive coordinator "was the best experience of my life."

He said he looks forward to installing "my offense" with his terminology, unlike what he had to work with during his eight-game interim stint in 2016.
