BATON ROUGE, La. -- LSU coach Ed Orgeron said he has hired New Orleans Saints assistant Joe Brady as the Tigers' passing game coordinator and receivers coach.
Brady fills the vacancy created when veteran receivers coach Jerry Sullivan retired after the 2018 season.
Orgeron said Brady brings LSU an innovative approach to offense and knowledge of the run-pass option after working under Saints coach Sean Payton.
New Orleans has annually fielded one the NFL's leading offenses since Payton and quarterback Drew Brees joined the Saints in 2006. New Orleans also ran a number of option plays this season with versatile third-string QB Taysom Hill.
