ATLANTA – New Orleans Saints defensive line coach Ed Orgeron is expected to join LSU’s staff as its highest paid assistant coach with the title of associate head coach along with recruiting coordinator and defensive line coach.

"I’d be shocked if he doesn’t take it,” Bobby Hebert, a lifelong friend of Orgeron and a teammate of his at South Lafourche High and at Northwestern State, said Tuesday night.

“LSU definitely stepped up to the plate and gave him what he wanted," Hebert said. "He’s going to be one of the highest paid assistant coaches in the country.”

Per TigerDroppings.com:

Sources have informed TigerDroppings.com
that John Chavis has signed on to be the new defensive coordinator at LSU.

LSU is still negotiating with Ed Orgeron to be Defensive Line Coach. It is understood that Coach O has agreed in principle to join LSU's staff. It is also believed that Vance Joseph is the leading candidate to coach the Defensive Backs.

I haven't been this excited about LSU football in a long time. He and Chief will definitely give our defense a swift kick in the arse.

+1, except...

Is anyone else concerned about problems that might be caused by Orgeron making as much or more than the Chief? That just seems like a situation ripe for issues. The DC makes less than the DL coach....not sure how I feel about that. Would love to hear other thoughts on that. Belowpar?

Otherwise,
