Alabama Football: LSU reloading with a retread and part of Nick Saban coaching tree

Like many schools needing to reload, LSU cast an eye to Alabama football. To replace exiting Joe Brady, Coach O turned to a guy from the Saban coaching tree.

In case any Alabama football fans want to quibble with a word in the title – Orgeron said his Bengal Tigers are reloading. That is a nearly obligatory word for defending National Champions, so Coach O can’t be faulted.

Rebuild would be a more accurate word, given the LSU exits of Joe Burrow and nine underclassmen who chose NFL early-entry.
