LSU football is working to add a former national championship assistant coach to its staff, according to a report from LSU Wire published Thursday. The program is targeting an assistant with experience winning a national title, though the specific coach's name and the position being filled were not disclosed in the initial report.
The development comes as LSU continues to shape its coaching personnel under head coach Brian Kelly. The Tigers have sought to bolster their staff with coaches who have championship pedigree since Kelly's arrival in 2022. LSU won its most recent national championship in the 2019 season under former head coach Ed Orgeron.
Will Rosenblatt of LSU Wire reported the news on November 5, 2026. Further details regarding the candidate's identity, previous coaching stops, and the timeline for a potential hire were not immediately available.
