Report: LSU is expected to hire South Carolina D-Line coach Jimmy Lindsey

On Friday, FootballScoop reported that LSU is targeting South Carolina defensive line coach Jimmy Lindsey to fill the same position that was left open by the departure of Jamar Cain.

Lindsey has spent the last three seasons with the Gamecocks as their defensive line coach. Before his stop at South Carolina, he previously was the defensive line coach at Western Kentucky from 2017-19.

He also coached at Furman University, Tennessee-Martin and Georgia Southern before earning the defensive line coach job with Western Kentucky. Even though he hasn’t had any Power Five stops before South Carolina, he has coached in the South for most of his career and has a lot of experience which is something LSU head coach Brian Kelly wants in an assistant coach.
