LSU head coach Ed Orgeron announced Thursday morning that wide receiver coach Dameyune Craig has been relieved of his duties and running back coach Jabbar Juluke has been re-assigned to a position within athletic department. Per LSUSports.net:

quote:
“We appreciate the work that Dameyune and Jabbar did for LSU,” Orgeron said. “We wish them nothing but success in the future.”

Orgeron said he will begin an immediate search to find replacements for Juluke and Craig.

Craig left Auburn's staff to become LSU's wide receiver coach last February. He was promoted to recruiting coordinator when Orgeron took over has interim head coach.

A report surfaced during LSU's bowl game on New Year's Eve that Oregon head coach Willie Taggart was pursuing Craig to join his staff.

Juluke was hired last February to replace former LSU running back coach and recruiting coordinator Frank Wilson. Prior to LSU, Juluke spent three years as running backs coach at Louisiana Tech after a brief stint at Texas Tech.

I think this is a combination of things. 1.) Recruiting/Especially recruiting Louisiana 2.) Canada/O wanting to bring in some of their own.

GaTiger27•112 months

Les wouldn't have done that. Do what you gotta do Coach O!

saint tiger225•112 months

One thing positive that I can say about O, is that he wants people who will work their arse off alongside him. I admit I didn't like the hire, but I'll give O credit where due. And I'll give him credit for working his arse off. I'm not sure how he'll end up as HC (hopefully great), but I do know 1 thing, no other head coach will work harder than O. And besides Jenkins, if you're not working your butt off beside him and adding value either recruiting/coaching, it seems you'll get your butt fired.

AustinKnight•112 months

Definitely these issues stemmed from what happened during the recruiting process. Coach O knows what it takes to get the best recruits and will always hold his staff to those standards. Coach O sayes he hates Fukin BBQ...

Hoosyadaddy•112 months

If correct good to see he is willing to make the move. Les, would have let it ride.

SaintInBham•112 months

Probably in the works for a while. O just waited until after NSD

BayouBengal61•112 months

Damn O ain't playing around fellas. I think you can attribute this to recruiting. Both Craig and Juluke failed to gain elite commitments for each position this cycle. We missed out on Akers and Smith and Ausbon flipped somewhat late so I don't know. I can see why they were shown the door but damn O really isn't playing around.

Craig flipped Netherly who is a top 4 star and most likely is going to start this season since they announced he'd be playing this summer with the team. He also brought in Racey who most feel is a high 4 star but never went to any of the camps to boost his national ranking. Nothing but high praise on him from outside the LSU campus. Both of those were all Craig himself and we were in dire need at WR as we were on the DL. He was also here for QB development having been with both winston and cam newton and he did a very good job with Danny. He had strong ties in bama and New Orleans. His release makes zero sense. Juluke also makes no sense considering he pulled in the surprise fullback that was a big need. Also next years class absolutely must pull in a top RB recruit and Juluke is from the Nola area; but there's been no 4 star or higher in LA this year or next season. Maybe that's why on him cause he hasn't shown any out of state range.

This had to be planned by O before signing day. Smart to keep it together for the sake of this year's class. Hopefully no animosity, just different philosophies. Never understood why a former QB is coaching receivers. Well, go get the best to replace them O, and let's keep this train rolling! Good luck to Craig and Juluke!

bring on Kevin Faulk

PeopleChamp•112 months

That would be amazing. Faulk giving expert opinion on being a Tiger and a 11-13 yr nfl career passion for tha Tigers

SomeLSUguy•112 months

The Texans will hire him...

tigerMike•112 months

This is just Canada wanting some say on the offensive staff. Sure it was agreed to when he was hired that he could pick his guys. Just waited until NSD which is common too.

SamuelClemens•112 months

Usually pre-planned coaching changes don't happen until after NSD.

MNCscripper•112 months

Craig recruited the last month without LSU on his chest

Tomeaux•112 months

We need to admit that we do not know what is going on. Give Coach O the latitude he needs to do the job we hired him to do. I had high hopes for Coach Juluke to replace Frank Wilson and For Craig to do a good job. Something was amiss when Craig was passed over for interim OC. The replacement coaches and record will determine the rest

JOHNN•112 months

We all need to band together and welcome home Curtis Johnson!

TigerintheNO•112 months

The saints announced yesterday he was returning

tjohn deaux•112 months

A lot of folks worried abouthat Craig and QB development; what about Canada? Isn't that what Canada does? These two guys met not have gelled with Canada, maybe it is just a numbers game, maybe something went down that we will never know about. Any way you slice it, it is done and we as fans dont know everything we think we do.

El Campo Tiger•112 months

All that I heard was that these two were a couple of badass up and comers. I wish them success at an ACC school that never plays LSU.

Rakim•112 months

Losing ETA and not missing on WR targets to out of state schools is unacceptable.

HoustonGumbeauxGuy•112 months

New OC gonna come with changes, is anybody surprised?

KillTheGophers•112 months

Juluke was golden at Louisiana Tech...wonder what happened?

TigerintheNO•112 months

He was told after the bowl game, Canada would chose his offensive assistant coaches

OweO•112 months

Derek Dooley was good at La Tech.. Your point?

pellietigersaint•112 months

a bunch of over reacting pussies. people get fired. nobody knows why. speculate if you wish but some of you clowns acting like you KNOW is just stupid. dont say they were great coaches because you have zero objective way of knowing that. you are not a practice or meetings or see if players progress or regress because you dont have a point of reference for any of this. just sit your fatass on your couch with a plate of sausage and watch the games come September
