LSU Football‘s coaching staff will have a much different look in 2021 than it did in 2020.

Tigers head coach Ed Orgeron revamped the staff, hiring five new on-field assistants.

One of those coaches is new offensive coordinator Jake Peetz, who replaces Steve Ensminger (Ensminger retired after the 2020 season).

LSU hired Peetz away from the Carolina Panthers, where he was serving as the team’s quarterbacks coach.

Orgeron also hired DJ Mangas away from the Panthers to serve as the Tigers’ passing game coordinator.
