LSU is set to hire Tulane’s Slade Nagle as the newest Tiger tight ends coach as was first reported by Football Scoop.
Nagle has spent the past eight years at Tulane. The first seven years he was the tight ends coach and this past season he was as an assistant head coach, quarterbacks coach, and offensive coordinator. Nagle was reportedly going to follow Willie Fritz to Houston and serve a similar role but ultimately decided to stay in New Orleans with new Green Wave head coach Jon Sumrall.
Now Nagle is heading to Baton Rouge. Nagle spent the 2009 season at LSU working in an administrative role with the special teams.
