Ed Orgeron adds former LSU defensive lineman Bennie Logan to Tigers coaching staff

Ed Orgeron is loading up his LSU staff with former Tigers.
Not long after naming Kevin Faulk as the new running backs coach in Baton Rouge and Kelvin Sheppard as the team’s Director of Player Development, the LSU coach has added another former Tiger to his coaching staff.
LSU and NFL veteran defensive lineman Bennie Logan has been hired as an analyst on Orgeron’s staff. The news was first reported by Jordy Culotta and T-Bob Hebert of ESPN Baton Rouge program “Off the Bench,” who broke the news on Tuesday morning.
“Ed Orgeron has hired former LSU Tiger Bennie Logan,” Culotta shared on the show. “How about your boy Smoke joining the staff? Former 2013 third-round pick of the Philadelphia Eagles compiled 5.5 sacks and 164 total tackles for the Eagles. Coach Orgeron and LSU will have that announcement today.”
Logan’s official title will be a defensive line analyst, according to Culotta.
Considering Orgeron’s strong track record of coaching and developing defensive linemen in college, it says a lot about Logan’s potential as an assistant coach that LSU’s head coach would bring him in this offseason. If Orgeron’s eye for defensive line coaches is as good as his eye for players, Logan could quickly be moving up the coaching ladder.
