BATON ROUGE – James Cregg, who has spent the past four seasons coaching the offensive line in the NFL, has joined the LSU staff as the offensive line coach, head coach Ed Orgeron announced on Tuesday.
Cregg will join the Tigers at the completion of the NFL season, where he is currently serving as the assistant offensive line coach for the Los Angeles Chargers. Cregg coaches former LSU lineman Joe Barksdale, who is the starting right tackle for the Chargers.
“James is a great addition to our staff,” Orgeron said. “I worked with Coach Cregg at both Tennessee and Southern Cal so I know firsthand the type coach he is and how he serves as a mentor to his players.
