Cortez Hankton is taking on a new role at LSU. Here’s why he’s ready.

[autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] didn’t have to look far to find LSU’s next offensive coordinators.

The LSU head coach promoted [autotag]Joe Sloan[/autotag] and [autotag]Cortez Hankton[/autotag]. The two served as the interim co-offensive coordinators during LSU’s bowl win over Wisconsin, but now, that title is permanent.

LSU’s staff was completed with the hiring of tight ends coach [autotag]Slade Nagle[/autotag] on Wednesday morning.

Nagle has play-calling experience himself after leading Tulane’s offense under Willie Fritz.
