When the news broke that the Carolina Panthers were hiring Baylor’s Matt Rhule to become their new head coach, your first thought probably wasn’t “hmm this could affect LSU”.
But, in an inadvertent way, it actually could affect the Tigers.
Here’s how.
Rhule was the New York Giants’ top choice to replace Pat Shurmur (Rhule is from New York and coached with the Giants in 2012). With Rhule heading to the Carolinas, it means the Giants will have to move to other names on their list.
One of those names is New England Patriots special teams coach Joe Judge, who is also a candidate to replace Joe Moorhead at Mississippi State.
