LSU to promote quarterbacks coach Joe Sloan to offensive coordinator

LSU is promoting assistant coach Joe Sloan to offensive coordinator

According to reports, LSU head coach Brian Kelly has found a new offensive coordinator, as the Tigers are reportedly promoting wide receivers coach Joe Sloan to OC and play caller.

In addition to Sloan, the Tigers are also reportedly promoting wide receivers coach and pass game coordinator Cortez Hankton to Co-OC.

Sloan has been in Baton Rouge as LSU’s quarterbacks coach since 2022 and was an important factor in the development of Jayden Daniels during his two seasons with the Tigers. Prior to his time at LSU, Sloan spent nine seasons at Louisiana Tech, where he was key in the success of the Bulldogs offense.

Hankton also joined LSU’s staff in 2022 and has since served as the Tigers wide receivers coach and pass game coordinator where he was an important factor in the development of one of the SEC’s top wide receivers across the last two seasons, Malik Nabers. Prior to his time at LSU, Hankton was the pass game coordinator and wide receivers coach at Georgia from 2019-22.
