"Brad is a game changer for us and he's a great addition to our staff," Orgeron said. "We are excited about having him come home to be a LSU Tiger.

I thought Brad Davis was the best OL coach Littrell has hired. That is until Bloesch came along. Either way, excited to see the recognition a great coach deserves
