LSU continues to bolster its coaching staff as Ed Orgeron’s program looks to rebound from a disappointing 2020 season.
The latest addition is recent Detroit Lions running backs coach Kyle Caskey as an offensive analyst, sources told The Athletic. Caskey spent the last two years as Lions RB coach, and before that he was with the Cincinnati Bengals for nine years. Another experienced NFL coaching addition for Coach O.
Caskey was hired in Detroit before the 2019 season, after he spent the previous nine seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals, where he started as an assistant offensive line coach, the Detroit Free Press reported at the time.
Caskey was promoted to running backs coach in 2013, and has worked with 1,000-yard rushers Joe Mixon and Jeremy Hill early in their careers.
The Texas A&M graduate earlier in his career was a defensive graduate assistant at Louisiana-Monroe, recruiting coordinator at Indiana State and a defensive intern at Ole Miss.
A former newspaper veteran, Keith Farner is a news manager for Saturday Down South.
