re: Smith leaving signals no change in DL coach

Hold a second Texas, so you're saying he doesn't think he can compete for another year at LSU, but he is moving on to the NFL to compete against the best pro players? He is in for a rude awakening, he has not proven to be that good to go to NFL now. Needs another year development since torn ACL. He may be drafted late round, possibly undrafted free agent. It's his decision but based on his performance and ACL injury, it doesn't seem to be good one right now. Fine with us, it opens up a scholarship to get an experienced DL out of the transfer portal in the spring. Players in the portal will see LSU will have openings for DL.
