LSU hired Southern Cal running backs coach Tommie Robinson and Louisiana Tech running backs coach Mickey Joseph on Tuesday to replace Dameyune Craig and Jabbar Juluke.

Robinson will serve as LSU’s running backs coach as well as holding the title of assistant head coach and recruiting coordinator.

Joseph will serve as LSU’s wide receivers coach. Per LSUSports.net:

quote:
Robinson, who was recently named the Pac-12 Recruiter of the Year, comes to LSU after spending the 2016 season at Southern Cal as the running backs coach and run game coordinator for Rose Bowl Champion Trojans. Robinson will serve as LSU’s running backs coach as well as holding the title of assistant head coach and recruiting coordinator.

Joseph, a native of New Orleans, joins the LSU staff after one year at Louisiana Tech where he coached running backs for the Bulldogs. Joseph will serve as LSU’s wide receivers coach.

“We are very excited to bring on board two outstanding coaches in Tommie Robinson and Mickey Joseph,” Orgeron said. “Mickey is well-known in our state and he has strong ties to New Orleans. He’s an outstanding coach with a great deal of experience on the offensive side of the ball. He’s an outstanding recruiter with a great work ethic and will be a tremendous addition to the staff.

LSU did not desegregate until 1970! LMAO! Talk about pathetic trailer trash! No wonder all the black athletes in Louisiana are boycotting the place. Saban's recruiting team is going to have a field day everywhere along the Gulf and the Delta for as long as Orgeron is coach.

Well said Stripes. That about sums it up.

Tommie Robinson is a great get for you guys. O knows what he is doing with recruiting, and yours just got a whole lot better. Congrats and good luck to TR at LSU.

Lexman1•87 months

That's what I hear about these guys. Thanks for your comments. Good luck to you as well.

Robinson is a homerun hire and Joseph has the potential to be a homerun hire. I like this move.

STRIPES•87 months

There is no boycott you idiot.

STRIPES•87 months

Jaluke was not getting it done and neither was Craig. Go hang on their nuts you dumbass but Orgeron and Canada have their careers on the line and deserve the best staff they can get. They improved it whether you liked it or not. Go back to playing with Jaluke's nuts now moron.

I read Robinson was National recruiter of the year and Joseph is an excellent recruiter in the New Orleans area. If true, exactly what we needed to lock down the state! Don't know if they can coach (I'm sure they can), but I think recruiting the top players in our state has become a Major priority, and Coach O is making a statement to that effect! I welcome both coaches to Baton Rouge! Let's go get some Championships!

I am still waiting to see what we do about a WR coach. But a lot problems with the WR is them having the self discipline to train in the offseason on their own. That goes for the QB's also.

Blanky6715•87 months

Mickey is the WR coach

skullopener•87 months

He (Mickey) is a hire that you would term as 'necessary', and has absolutely nothing to do with coaching ability. Any further explanation and people would start throwing the racist card!!!

Wgregbodine•87 months

Mickey is a necessary hire for recruiting I agree.

Catman88•87 months

So still no ST coach?

X123F45•87 months

O is putting in work on these hires.

LesnarF5•87 months

Hope there is still room for the Johnson coach, if Ensminger is move to administration. I get the Robinson hire not so much the Joseph. Faith in O !

lsusportsman2•87 months

He apparently "turned down the job". Don't need him. At all.

eugene1928LSU•87 months

Hold those new Tigers!

VesperiaLSU•87 months

Pardon me cuz I'm not familiar with Mickey Joseph. Is he mainly a recruiter hire? Why do we hire a former RB coach to coach WR?

theBru•87 months

He is from. NOLA,played QB @ Neraska & has coached several positions @ several stops along the way....

KiwiHead•87 months

Mickey Joseph has a lot of street cred especially in New Orleans in particular , NOLA West Bank where he was QB for Shaw in the mid 1980's and then went on to play at Nebraska. Brother of Vance Joseph, Denver Broncos new head coach Excellent hire ....very good. Blunts the whole Dameyune/Juluke thing with the West Bank NOLA schools

VesperiaLSU•87 months

Wow sounds like a solid hire! Good job O!

Great grabs right here IMO. He needed to get a day in/day out grinding type recruiter and he got 2.

wesman21•87 months

Legit moves.

bradwieser•87 months

Championship!
