A look at LSU football’s complete new-look coaching staff

After a month of shuffling, Brian Kelly’s 2024 LSU coaching staff is set.

The 2024 staff will look a lot different than the one you saw last year. There will be new coordinators on both sides of the ball and the defensive side of the ball is almost completely new.

A few of these guys might be new to the Kelly era at LSU, but they’re familiar faces, having made stops in Baton Rouge in the past. Nearly every member of the staff is a Louisiana native or has previous coaching experience within the state.

Hankton was a member of Georgia’s national title staff in 2021, helping…
