LSU looking into potential offensive coordinators
Coach Ed Orgeron and the LSU Tigers are coming to grips with the fact that Alabama offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin will likely be taking a head coaching position and not coming to Baton Rouge.
With that mindset, the Tigers are looking into other potential offensive coordinators, including recently fired Oregon head coach Mark Helfrich:
With Kiffin/UH getting sorted out, LSU did background on OC candidates today. O could turn to Sterlin Gilbert, Matt Canada, Mark Helfrich

Sterlin Gilbert is currently the offensive coordinator at Texas and Matt Canada is the Pitt Panthers’ offensive coordinator.
Of course, if the rumored Lane Kiffin-to-Houston deal falls through, the Tigers will be there, ready to pounce on their No. 1 choice.
