The public drama between New Orleans area high school coaches and the LSU football program appears to have reached its end.

“There will be no boycott of LSU in any fashion,” Edna Karr head coach Brice Brown told The Advocate Friday. “We just got done with a meeting with Coach Orgeron. We just want more communication with LSU. This meeting just solidified that.”

Coaches from the New Orleans area were reportedly unhappy with Ed Orgeron’s decision to dismiss running backs Jabbar Juluke following National Signing Day. Juluke was an area high school coach from 1995-2012 before making the jump to college coaching at Louisiana Tech in 2013 and joining the LSU staff in 2016. In response to the handling of Juluke’s demotion (Orgeron had said the now Texas Tech coach would be reassigned in the athletic department), New Orleans coaches were reportedly threatening to call for a boycott of LSU at a Thursday meeting.

While there was no boycott announced, coaches and players with ties to the city were seemingly avoiding and cutting ties with LSU this week. Memphis wide receivers coach David Johnson, who has extensive New Orleans ties, publicly turned down LSU earlier in the week. Two Louisiana recruits, 4-star QB Justin Rogers and 5-star Terrace Marshall Jr. tweeted about attending college outside the state.

Orgeron may have helped repair the relationship between LSU and New Orleans high schools by hiring Louisiana Tech’s Mickey Joesph as the Tigers’ new receivers coach. Similar to Juluke, Joseph has deep ties to the area. The New Orleans native played for Nebraska from 1987-1991 and began his coaching career in 1999 as a graduate assistant at Tulane. He was head coach at the private Desire Street Academy high school from 2005-08 and coached at Langston as an assistant from 2009-10 and head coach 2011-12. Last season he coached running backs at Louisiana Tech, but he recently coached wide receivers at Alcorn State (2013) and Grambling (2014-15).
