There have been former athletes in other sports come back to be undergrad assistants while finishing up their degree. It's happened several times in baseball specifically.

So there is a route to him being on staff in some capacity while finishing up his degree.

Why He has a degree in Football with a master in NFL. Is he going to be teaching PE with the degree.

Wait, why in the hell does a former Super Bowl winning player need a “degree” to be able to coach? That sounds absolutely ridiculous.

This is football not fricking neurosurgery

I know things change, and I don't keep up with it much anymore, but a coach is considered, or used to be, a faculty member, wasn't too long ago that coaches taught classes during their sports' "off season"

ETA: according to google, in Louisiana they are no longer considered faculty, but "staff" employees

That won’t stop them. Facts are meaningless on this board.

If Ed Orgeron can get a job as the head coach of LSU then surely Mathieu can get a formal piece of paper to say he graduated from LSU.....

in this day and age who knows? it is definitely an era of "if they don't meet the standards, lower the standards," across the board sadly
