SOURCE: #LSU is hiring Bill Johnson as D-line coach, taking over for Dennis Johnson who’s recovering from leg injuries. The 64-yr old spent the past two decades in the NFL coaching DL. He has been a mentor to Ed Orgeron, going back to his days coaching him in college.)


quote:

Bill Johnson most recently worked with the Rams and helped Aaron Donald to the best seasons of his career... Dennis Johnson who torn both patela tendons playing basketball and is in a wheelchair while he recovers, is being reassigned to analyst while he rehabs. #LSU

Ed actually introduced Bill to his wife while at Northwestern State they go way back.

That's a pretty big hire considering we were going into the season with an analyst coaching the dline. No disrespect to ol baw but this is an upgrade over Meatball and Udeze.

I hate it for the guy, but I couldn't help but laugh because it immediately reminded me of this.

It's beginning to smell a little like almonds

He was just visiting them at practice, wasn't he? He doesn't have an official role there I didn't think.

He's not "at" bama, before Orgeron talked him into coming on staff he was a consultant and would do camps or private workouts. He just went back to that, and Bama brought him in for a practice or two.

Bill Johnson is a Neville grad. His addition should help recruiting in NELA.

Hell of a coach too.
