One day after filling the defensive coordinator position, Brian Kelly has made another hire tapping Robert Steeples to be a defensive assistant.
Steeples is currently serving as the Minnesota Vikings’ assistant special teams coach and will join the LSU coaching staff whenever Minnesota’s season ends. The Vikings are currently 7-8, sitting just outside the NFC’s playoff picture.
“Robert is an extremely talented coach who will bring tremendous knowledge, energy, and expertise to our staff,” Brian Kelly said. “He enjoyed a stellar collegiate playing career at both Missouri and Memphis, and his experience impacting young people will go a long way in helping create a culture of success on and off the field at LSU.
