LSU announces that it has hired former South Carolina defensive line coach Jimmy Lindsey for the same role.
According to Wilson Alexander of the Advocate, Lindsey signed a two-year deal that averages around $750,000 dollars a year, which is $175,000 more than his annual salary at South Carolina. LSU also covered his $300,00 dollar buyout at South Carolina.
“Jimmy has a proven track record of developing defensive linemen and I know our players are going to benefit from his expertise,” LSU head coach Brian Kelly said in a statement. “He will do a great job of not only coaching our players on the field, but also helping them develop off the field as we continue our commitment to graduating champions.
