Breaking: LSU OC Joe Sloan Has Been Fired

BATON ROUGE – Joe Sloan has been relieved of his duties as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach on the LSU football staff effective immediately, the school announced on Monday.

As LSU’s quarterbacks coach in 2023, Sloan helped Jayden Daniels capture the school’s third Heisman Trophy with a record-setting season that saw the signal-caller lead the nation in total offense and rushing yards a by quarterback.

LSU’s 2023 offense featured three first round NFL Draft picks in Daniels and wide receivers Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas.
