Scott Linehan won’t return as LSU football’s passing game coordinator in 2021.
When LSU football head coach Ed Orgeron hired Scott Linehan earlier this year to succeed Joe Brady as the Tigers’ passing game coordinator, I thought the move was a bit odd.
Linehan hadn’t been a college assistant since 2001 at Louisville. He had spent nearly two decades on an NFL sideline, mostly as a head coach or an offensive coordinator.
So why make the move to the college ranks after all that time in the NFL?
