According to multiple reports online, LSU head coach Brian Kelly has made some changes to his staff.

Newly hired senior defensive analyst John Jancek has been promoted to an on-field coaching role and will serve as LSU's special team's coordinator and will also coach outside linebackers/pass rushers.

He will replace former LSU special team's coordinator Brian Polian who is stepping into an off-the-field GM position with the Tigers.

Jancek was a former defensive coordinator at Georgia and Tennessee and was an analyst on the Bulldogs' national championship team this past season. He previously worked with Kelly at Grand Valley State and then Central Michigan.

Kelly has also reportedly hired Bob Diaco as a defensive analyst.

Diaco was a defensive coordinator under Kelly at Cincinnati and Notre Dame and was the head coach at UConn from 2014-16.

"off-the-field GM position"

What does this entail? Sounds very "pros/minors" league-ish type of position.

I have to put my trust in BK. If the coach can run a defense for many years, he can put together a solid ST.

If I never hear, or read the Special Teams Coordinator’s name again, I’ll consider that a good hire. Only hear that name when shits hitting the fan.

So much for a splash hire. This will be a disappointment for most fans.
