The LSU Tigers have made an interesting hire for their support staff, picking up a longtime defensive coordinator.

Per a report from FootballScoop.com, the Tigers have added former New Mexico assistant Kevin Cosgrove to their staff.

Cosgrove was moved from defensive coordinator to LB coach this offseason, and it seems he decided he’d rather head off to LSU. Cosgrove has plenty of experience that will be valuable to Ed Orgeron’s staff, per the report:

In addition to New Mexico, Cosgrove previously coordinated defenses for Nebraska, Wisconsin, Akron and Southeast Missouri State. He spent 14 years on College Football Hall of Famer Barry Alvarez’s Wisconsin staffs, five as linebackers coach and nine as defensive coordinator.

That’s a wealth of knowledge coming to Baton Rouge, and Cosgrove will be a valuable addition to the Tigers’ staff.
