Mike Denbrock led one of the best offenses in the country and is now moving on from LSU, according to a report from Pete Sampson.

Denbrock will be returning to Notre Dame. He originally joined Brian Kelly’s staff there in 2010 as tight ends coach. Denbrock eventually worked his way up to passing game coordinator in 2012, before becoming the offensive coordinator for the Fighting Irish in 2014.
Before heading to LSU to reunite with Kelly, Denbrock spent 2017-2021 at Cincinatti. Denbrock was the offensive coordinator, quarterbacks coach, and TE coach for the Bearcats during that time.
LSU fans might miss Denbrock for the way he revitalized the offense in Baton Rouge.
