re: list of LSU OC candidates?

Kendal Briles- see below. He is one of the few that knows the entire offense senior Briles runs and he is a great recruiter.


Kendal Briles is in his ninth season at Baylor and his second as offensive coordinator. Briles took over the play-calling reigns in December 2014 prior to Baylor's appearance in the 2015 Goodyear Cotton Bowl.
Previously, Briles spent three seasons as the passing game coordinator and seven coaching the Bears' receiving corps.

A talented recruiter, Briles was named the Big 12 Recruiter of the Year in both 2013 and 2014.

Briles earned multiple Big 12 Recruiter of the Year awards in 2014 (Rivals, Scout, 247Sports) after Baylor signed a class ranked 22nd nationally by ESPN and 23rd by Scout.

Briles mentored four All-Americans and five total NFL prospects during seven seasons as wide receivers coach. He coached two of the most prolific receivers in school history, All-Americans Kendall Wright (Tennessee Titans) and Terrance Williams (Dallas Cowboys), as well as 2013 All-American Antwan Goodley and 2014 All-American Corey Coleman. His pupils also included All-Big 12 honorees and NFL signees Lanear Sampson (Pittsburgh Steelers), Tevin Reese (San Diego Chargers) and tight end Jordan Najvar (Dallas Cowboys). As passing game coordinator, Briles helped guide a top-five ranked passing attack for four straight seasons from 2011 to 2014 (No. 4 in 2014, No. 5 in 2013, No. 4 in 2012, No. 4 in 2011).

After his first season as offensive coordinator, Briles was named a 2015 Broyles Award finalist (by the Rotary Club of Little Rock) and National Quarterbacks Coach of the Year finalist (by FootballScoop). The Bears persevered through an injury-plagued season to finish 13th nationally and play in a school-record sixth-straight bowl game.

Briles was a FootballScoop finalist for 2014 national wide receivers coach of the year. In 2013, the Big 12 champs averaged 359.1 yards through the air and "Wide Receiver U" boasted All-American Goodley (1,339 yards, 13 TDs) and All-Big 12 selections Reese (first team) and Levi Norwood (honorable mention).

Briles was recognized in 2013 as the "Big 12 Recruiter of the Year" by Scout/FOXSportsNet and a national "Top 50 Recruiter" by 247Sports.

In 2014, Briles was elected to the Texas High School Football Hall of Fame.

Kendal and his wife, the former Sarah Reimer-Lukert, are the parents of two sons, Jaytn and Kru, and one daughter, Kinley.
