Corey Raymond is coming home.

Multiple sources are reporting that LSU is finalizing a deal to bring Corey Raymond back to Baton Rouge as Brian Kelly's defensive back coach.

Raymond returns to the Tigers after spending two seasons as Florida's defensive back coach.

The New Iberia native played cornerback at LSU from 1987 to 1991 and was the Tigers' defensive back coach from 2012 to 2022. He was also LSU's recruiting coordinator from 2020 to 2022.

He re-joins LSU's defensive staff under new defensive coordinator Blake Baker and will be an integral piece in fixing issues in the secondary.

Makes you wonder though, what if he never let them leave in first place. Maybe JD5 magical season not a waste??? Better late than never though...

Me too, I understand some of the staff in the Ath Admin didn’t want him back. Glad he’s home, and hopefully it’s a growing moment for this man. I’m jacked up

This is a big gamble based on his last 4-5years...better hope returning home gets him on the right side of getting and coaching top recruits. Not coming in 2nd place for the top players and not coaching them up.

His last 2 years here were under Coach O and Covid. And like coolieaux said, UF was just flaming garbage in every way. Him being home in such a well run program should make him much more effective.

Well said, sometimes Bosses are actually good at guiding their subordinates and making sure they are on point. Some people need that and that’s ok. I think it may take a minute to restock but the best may be yet to come from Raymond now.
He knows what it takes and Kelly knows that’s he knows. Great hire.

Hope he realizes this is basically a last chance to prove his last few years at LSU and then UF were not how he wants his career to be defined. Time to step up Mr. Raymond .
