He replaces Kevin Faulk, who is now the team's running backs coach.

Nice. Georgia native, pretty good pro career. This is a positive move.

Great Hire! Will eventually help us tremendously in recruiting the state of Georgia.

Georgia pipeline


Would they consider getting Perry Riley on the staff? He’s a Georgia native and was a great LB at LSU.

Great to have Kelvin "Why is Ryan Perriloux playing on special teams?" Sheppard back with the Tigers!


O really has done a good job of opening up the program to former players.

Well we got Arik Gilbert and his teammate this season and aren't the Ferguson long snappers also from Georgia. If Riley is available we have plenty of consulting jobs available after losing a bunch last season. So it's a go from me.

Sheppard needs to work on the right cross for the A&M game.

It’s great for recruiting and a low risk move. It’s a tangible thing to point to, as opposed to the abstract claims others make about “life after football”

There sure was a thread about it. Looks the OP of that thread knew something.

I'll always remember Shep as one of my favorite LBers and defensive leaders at LSU...


...and also the guy responsible for me having to hear "why is Ryan Perrilloux in on defense/ST?" like 100 times from drunk idiots and girls his freshman year.
