Texas Tech loses new football assistant to LSU

Kliff Kingsbury's work assembling a coaching staff isn't quite done.

Texas Tech announced Saturday that Jabbar Juluke resigned to take an assistant's job at LSU a month after the Red Raiders had hired him to be running backs coach.

"I'm sorry to see coach Juluke go, but this is a lifelong dream of his," Kingsbury said in a statement Tech released. "He's a Louisiana guy, and this is an opportunity for him to go home. I know he will be an incredible asset for coach (Les) Miles and their program."

Juluke had come to Tech from Louisiana Tech.
