LSU football made a surprising move on Wednesday by parting ways with offensive line coach James Cregg.
Cregg served as the Tigers’ offensive line coach for the last three seasons. He also worked with Ed Orgeron at USC from 2010-2013 and at Tennessee in 2009.
Under Cregg’s guidance, LSU’s offensive line won the Joe Moore Award in 2019 (given annually to the nation’s best offensive line).
Early June isn’t typically when coaching moves like this are made. We usually see these moves made just after National Signing Day — not three months before the start of the season.
