LSU’S JERRY SULLIVAN ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT

BATON ROUGE – LSU senior offensive assistant and passing game coordinator Jerry Sullivan announced his retirement from football on Wednesday.

Sullivan, who spent seven years on the LSU coaching staff from 1984-90, joined Ed Orgeron’s staff as a consultant in 2017 and was then elevated to senior offensive assistant and passing game coordinator for the 2018 season.

One of the most respected wide receiver coaches in football, Sullivan spent 25 years in the NFL before coming back to LSU in 2017.

“Jerry had a great career, one that saw him develop, groom, mentor and train some of the best to ever play the wide receiver position at any level of football,” Orgeron said. “I can’t thank Jerry enough for the contributions he made to our program over the past two years.”

This guy has been trashed all year. But now, in his retirement blurb, all the negative comments are getting downvoted. Hilarious

Thanks for coming back and helping us out Jerry. Have a fabulous retirement.

Look all the sad eyes I get but this is a plus. We need a wr coach that brings strength in blocking downfield and opening up plays. Our WRs have played like pussys for 3 years

There are some people on a team that make you feel like you are part of a family.. he was one of those mentors that made the kids feel like they were home..

dustytiger123•71 months

He was a great mentor to a lot of athletes, and the kids appreciated his leadership and humor. he will be missed..

At first, I thought it said Senior Offensive Assistant passed away. I’m not wishing I’ll health, but the headline was not a shock the first way I read it.

He's looking pretty fit for someone his age. Maybe he decided to pursue some eligility?

colbyjackcheese•71 months

Hope he ends up happy with his decision...who replaces him? Any favorites atm?

bah humbug•71 months

Good. Too many balls were dropped amongst long developing pass plays and lack of wr separation. May not fully be his fault, but facts are facts.

I hope he enjoys retirement. All I can think of is what position coach we actually need. Maybe a QB coach? Does any school need receivers AND TE coaches?

?? Our TE coach became our OC.
