James Cregg said only one college coach could have persuaded him to leave the NFL coaching ranks when he did, and that coach was LSU's Ed Orgeron.

"I wouldn't have come back to college football to work for anybody else besides Coach O," Cregg said Thursday in an interview with ESPN Baton Rouge radio.

"It's unbelievable to me how he changed the whole culture over there, how much the guys believed in him," he said. "I saw that in the players' eyes. I've never seen players cry in a group when he left and grown men cry when he left. He just had a special impact in that room."

"The experience in that room is phenomenal," Cregg said. "I don't think you get a harder worker than Steve Ensminger."

With his wife and daughter still back in California, Cregg said he spends much of his time in the football operations building studying film and working on video cutups.

"And he's here all the time in the office next door," Cregg said of Ensminger.

The addition of Sullivan appeared to draw notice from at least one NFL coach. Defensive coordinator Dave Aranda and his staff was in Washington to visit Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll and his staff. But before they left Baton Rouge, Carroll asked coach Ed Orgeron to bring Sullivan along with him.

"So Jerry is out there clinic-ing their offense," Cregg said.
