Report: LSU Finalizing Deal To Make Tulane's Slade Nagle New TE Coach

by Staff Reporter

Tommy Gilligan-USA TODAY Sports

Multiple sources report that Brian Kelly is hiring Slade Nagel as LSU's new tight ends coach.

Nagel, a native of Lake Charles, La., has spent the past eight seasons at Tulane. He was the tight end coach for the Green Wave from 2016–2022 and was promoted to Assistant Head Coach/Offensive Coordinator/Quarterbacks this past season.

He served as interim head coach during Tulane's Bowl Game in December when Willie Fritz took the Houston job.

Nagel also has special teams experience as he was an administrative assistant working with the special teams at LSU in 2009 and coached running backs and special teams at McNeese State from 2012-2015.

Nagel was an all-state quarterback during his high school days at Barbe in Lake Charles and committed to Clemson but transferred back to his hometown to finish his college career at McNeese.

Great hire. Now, what’s the plan for ST? I think they’re maxed out on coaches, but none have a “/ST” in the position description. We saw a couple years ago what can happen when ST are neglected. I trust BK, but would like some clarification on how he’s planning to address ST.

Looks like reading comprehension is a problem for you...

"Nagel also has special teams experience as he was an administrative assistant working with the special teams at LSU in 2009 and coached running backs and special teams at McNeese State from 2012-2015."

??. Not a comprehension problem. I just didn’t read the entire article. However, while it mentions his ST background, it doesn’t say in addition to TE, he’ll also be in charge of ST. Most if not all of the assistant coaches have dabbled in ST at some point in their careers. So mentioning his doesn’t designate him ST coach. You assumed that. And you know what happens when you assume. That’s right. But just u, not me. Of course, you may be right. We’ll find out when they put him on the roster page with either TE or TE/ST.
