New LSU o-line coach James Cregg gets high marks — extremely high marks — from ex-Tiger in NFL

BATON ROUGE, La. – One of Ed Orgeron’s new staff members got a ringing endorsement from a former Tigers standout now in the NFL.

Joe Barksdale just finished his seventh NFL season and third with the Los Angeles Chargers, where he was tutored by new LSU offensive line coach James Cregg in 2017.

“He’s going to be known as one of the best offensive line coaches in football if he stays in college that long,” Barskdale said on “After Further Review with Matt Moscona.”

“He’s got the whole package – the film study, he understands theory, he understands technique, he knows how to tailor technique to different players’ strengths and weaknesses.
