LSU defensive line coach Jimmy Lindsey returned to the sidelines last Saturday vs. Florida for the first time since stepping away in the offseason for a medical condition.

Head coach Brian Kelly said Monday that Lindsey just finished his treatments and is coming back in a part-time role as he continues to get to full strength.

For now, Lindsey will be in more of an "administrative role" right now, Kelly said.

From him using the word "treatments", makes me think of leukemia or something like that.

This is a rough situation for Lindsey and LSU football. The man clearly has a serious health issue and LSU needs a full time DL coach recruiting and coaching. LSU clearly trying to manage this appropriately for Lindsey, but there are impacts to the team in doing so.

These comments are less than ideal. Your DL coach is probably a little nutty and always high energy. You can’t have a guy leading and recruiting this group at half speed. Kelly needs to do something in this regard. Check with the HR department and find out what can be done.
This is big boy football. No time to waste for anyone or anything. Illness be damned.

You ever heard of the Family and Medical Leave Act ? Or how bout just not being a piece of shite towards the people you employ ?
How would you feel if you had cancer and your job fired your dumbass because you got sick.
Not only are you a dumbass, but a cruel dumbass as well. I pray you get everything you deserve.

So is Lindsay gonna be able to make a full return? If so, when? In time for signing day? If not we need a full time DLine coach. It’s not fair to the team or the players.

Bring him back as an analyst and clean this defensive staff out including hiring a dline coach and who will have the energy to go at recruiting a 100 miles per hour. We are failing at every position group on the defensive side of the ball. Facts are facts.

Great to hear Coach Lindsey is feeling better

Praying for a full recovery.

If he comes back stronger good. Just BK needs to do is clean’House’ & get a new DB coach to. Recruiting is going terribly for DB’s as well as DL’s

You realize that we have a CB coach and a safeties coach, correct? We need both fired as well as everyone else on the defensive side that isn’t named Jimmy Lindsey.
