Brian Kelly continues to build his LSU staff, and he reportedly made a decision about DJ Mangas’, LSU’s passing game coordinator.
Kelly let go of Mangas and has elevated Carter Sheridan, an analyst and former New Orleans Saints staffer, to work with the Tigers wide receivers for the bowl game against Kansas State, according to Bruce Feldman of The Athletic.
Mangas previously was an offensive assistant at the Carolina Panthers, and returned to LSU with Jake Peetz last offseason, also from the Panthers, and previous worked at LSU as an analyst. Both worked under Joe Brady in Carolina, and Mangas was an LSU analyst during 2019 title season.
Before he was with LSU, Mangas spent 2 years as the second-youngest offensive coordinator in Division I football at William & Mary College in 2017 and 2018. Before William & Mary, Mangas had a pair of one-year stints at Georgetown and Hampden-Sydney College. He began his coaching career as a student assistant at William & Mary immediately following his playing career.
