BATON ROUGE, La. -- LSU has a special teams coordinator. His name is Greg McMahon, and he spent the previous 11 seasons on the New Orleans Saints' coaching staff.
But at least until the NCAA expands its allowable total of on-field assistant coaches from nine to 10 -- a move that could come this year -- McMahon will advise the Tigers only in an off-the-field role.
In the meantime, LSU head coach Ed Orgeron plans to divide responsibilities between five assistant coaches -- Tommie Robinson, Dennis Johnson, Corey Raymond, Mickey Joseph and Jeff Grimes -- with McMahon overseeing the group.
