Allen Jeardeau coached the LSU Tigers for two seasons from 1896-1897, winning seven of the eight games he coached in that time. Jeardeau led the Tigers to a perfect 6-0 record in 1896, earning the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association championship. His team was just 1-1 in 1897, Jeardeau’s last as a coach. He passed away in 1900 at the age of 34.
