LSU has new coordinators on both sides of the ball entering the 2024 season.
With [autotag]Mike Denbrock[/autotag] leaving to join Notre Dame, the Tigers promoted quarterbacks coach [autotag]Joe Sloan[/autotag] and receivers coach/passing game coordinator [autotag]Cortez Hankton[/autotag] to the roles of co-offensive coordinator.
That could prove to be a major benefit for new starting quarterback [autotag]Garrett Nussmeier[/autotag], who has spent the last two seasons working with Sloan directly. At the Manning Passing Academy, Nussmeier had quite a bit of praise to offer his new playcaller.
“It’s been huge just getting to work with coach Sloan and our relationship has grown over the past three years,” Nussmeier said. “He knows me better than anyone at this point outside of probably I’d say my own father who worked with my since I was a kid. But like I said, I wouldn’t want to play for anyone else other than coach Sloan.
“Our relationship means the world to me. His ability to make me have the right mental state and get me to the right playing state is what I think sets him apart. I think he does an unreal job, I don’t know that there’s anybody better in the entire country right now than him at what he’s doing and his system and what he teaches.”
Sloan’s track record is certainly impressive given his work with [autotag]Jayden Daniels[/autotag], who won the Heisman Trophy under his tutelage in 2023. Nussmeier will hope he can achieve similar success while playing under Sloan.
