LSU officially parts ways with offensive coordinator Matt Canada

The Matt Canada experiment is officially over at LSU after just one season.

LSU and Canada, the school's offensive coordinator in 2017, have agreed to part way, the school said in a release Friday. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Canada's original contract paid him $1.5 million per year through the 2019 season and called for a prorated portion of $1 million to be paid out during the first three months of 2020 - roughly $250,000.

It was widely reported before LSU's Citrus Bowl appearance against Notre Dame that Canada and LSU would be parting ways.

The marriage between LSU head coach Ed Orgeron and Canada seemed like it was going to get off to a great start.
