ESPN's Biggest Offseason Question For LSU: Did Ed Orgeron Hire The Right Coaching Staff?
by Staff Reporter

Chuck Cook-USA TODAY Sports
Ed Orgeron was faced with some big decisions this offseason to hire several new coordinators and coaches to help fix what was a disappointing season for LSU in 2020.
The Tigers parted ways with defensive coordinator Bo Pelini, safety coach Bill Busch, and passing coordinator Scott Linehan. Offensive coordinator Steve Ensminger and defensive line coach Bill Johnson both retired.
Orgeron hired Jake Peetz (OC) and DJ Mangas (PGC) to run the offense and brought in Daronte Jones (DC), Blake Baker (LB), and Andre Carter (DL) to take care of the defense.
According to ESPN's Alex Scarborough, the biggest offseason question for LSU is whether or not Orgeron hired the right coaching staff this time around...

20. LSU Tigers: Did Ed Orgeron get the coaching staff right this time?
The question that faces LSU this offseason is the same it faced last offseason: Will Ed Orgeron surround himself with a winning coaching staff? Granted, the dismantling of the 2019 Tigers staff was a result of winning a national championship, whereas the 2020 Tigers barely managed to finish at .500, but the result was the same as a slew of coordinators and assistants left or were shown the door. Orgeron is clearly trying to recreate the magic of 2019 by hiring Joe Brady disciples Jake Peetz and DJ Mangas to lead the offense, while former Dave Aranda assistant Daronte Jones was tabbed to serve as offensive coordinator. On paper, they make much more sense than the decision last offseason to bring in Bo Pelini and Scott Linehan, but only time will tell if Orgeron pulled the right levers this go-around. -- Scarborough
