LSU defensive analyst [autotag]Gerald Chatman[/autotag] is reportedly heading to Tulane to become the school’s next defensive line coach, according to On3’s Matt Zenitz.
Chatman was in his second stint at LSU after holding the same role in 2021. [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] tried to retain him when he was hired, but he instead took an on-field position at Tulane briefly before becoming Colorado’s defensive line coach a few months later.
He was elevated to interim defensive coordinator after the firing of coach Karl Dorrell.
Chatman also served as LSU’s interim defensive line coach this spring, replacing [autotag]Jamar Cain[/autotag], who left to take a role with the Denver Broncos. The Tigers recently hired a full-time defensive line coach, [autotag]Jimmy Lindsey[/autotag] from South Carolina.
LSU senior defensive analyst Gerald Chatman is expected to be hired as the new defensive line coach at Tulane, sources tell @on3sports.

Now, Chatman will end up as the defensive line coach after all following a brief four-month return to Baton Rouge.
