A win for Alabama. Canada was a good OC. I suspect LSU will regret this move in the years to come. Anyone think that Canada would land in a better situation than he has now though?
Not surprised. That sideline to sideline jet sweep stuff is a gimmick and not going to get it at places like LSU that want to run it down your throat. I sure as heck wouldn't want it at Bama.
I'd almost trade with LSU for Canada if not for the fact that our QB room is full of guys who aren't really best suited for a power i-form offense.
This has been expected for awhile. Was told a few weeks ago the word was he and Ed mutually agreed he would look elsewhere.

Part of the mid-season meeting with the AD, HC, OC, and DC really stemmed from problems with O and Canada not seeing eye to eye on the offensive direction. It says a lot that the alleged ultimatum from the AD to the HC was "let the coordinators run their offense/defense and you just be the head coach."
Feel like these coordinators were sold on autonomy and an HC who would just be a mascot/recruiter/CEO type and whatever happened to lead to that meeting probably rubbed Canada the wrong way even though I think he "won" the argument.

But but but... His offense beat Clemson last year.

Ensminger is a hanger on and won't create problems for Orgeron and will do as he is told. IMO Canada is a quality OC and will certainly land on his feet at another program, maybe with Pruitt or at Arkansas if he stays in the SEC.

And yet:
"Through the first nine games of the season, LSU averaged more than 7 yards per carry on jet sweeps in conference games. They were critical in wins over Florida (10 for 89 yards) and Auburn (5-93) and commendable in games against BYU (10-53) and Ole Miss (7-42). They also helped the Tigers hog the ball (34 minutes) at Alabama, running 10 sweeps for 35 yards."
He's a really good OC but Etling is an awful quarterback and they had no other options. We would've lost to LSU in our place if Etling was just a mediocre quarterback instead of an awful one.
That’s the story as I heard it too. I think it basically came down to who had the bigger buyout (Canada or Orgeron) and which would be less of a shock to part ways with. As a previous poster stated, Canada has forgot more about offenses than Coach O will ever know.
Hey LSWho, Nuss is available!

O had to make a splash hire at OC after his plan to get Lane fell thru. Those two didn’t get along, which is apparently not unusual for Canada. I’m going to let it play out before I make any judgment.
Lsu lost unless they got one of the best OC in the nation. Period. Matt Canada was good. Only a few were better than him.
