Sources: LSU to Hire Scott Linehan as Passing Game Coordinator

LSU will hire former Cowboys offensive coordinator Scott Linehan as its passing game coordinator, according to The Athletic's Bruce Feldman.

Sports Illustrated's Ross Dellenger confirmed the report on Monday Afternoon.

Linehan spent the last nine seasons as an NFL offensive coordinator with the Lions and Cowboys from 2009–18. The 56-year-old was with Dallas from 2015–18, leading the Cowboys to a top-15 offensive in each of his final three seasons. Linehan also spent three years as an NFL head coach, going 11–25 with the Rams from 2006–08.

LSU began its hunt for a new passing game coordinator after Joe Brady left the program in January.
