LSU is set to hire Cincinnati offensive coordinator Mike Denbrock for the same role, sources told ESPN.
Denbrock, 57, has been Cincinnati's offensive coordinator the past four season. Cincinnati's season ended Friday with a 27-6 loss to Alabama in the CFP Semifinal at the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic. Denbrock worked with new LSU coach Brian Kelly at both Notre Dame (2010 to 2016) and Grand Valley (1992 to 1998).
He coached wide receivers and tight ends at Notre Dame, served as offensive coordinator in 2014 and spent the 2015 and 2016 seasons as assistant head coach.
