With Mike Denbrock off to Notre Dame, Brian Kelly promoted Joe Sloan and Cortez Hankton as interim co-offensive coordinators for LSU’s bowl meeting with Wisconsin.
Sloan and Hankton have strong resumes, which could make them both candidates for the full-time job.
Sloan already served as a full-time FBS coordinator while at Louisiana Tech. Hankton has served as LSU’s passing game coordinator for the last two seasons, after having a similar role on a national championship-winning Georgia team.

With Garrett Nussmeier taking over, we were likely to see some changes in the offense anyway, but let’s dive right in.
Joe Sloan’s background
Sloan came up under former Louisiana Tech head coach Skip Holtz. After playing for Holtz at East Carolina, Sloan got his start in coaching when Holtz was at South Florida.
Where Holtz went, Sloan went, and Sloan then followed Holtz to Louisiana Tech.
At Louisiana Tech, Sloan did nearly everything. Early in his time there, he was the receivers coach and the recruiting coordinator. Sloan then began working with the quarterbacks after being promoted to offensive coordinator. And when Holtz got fired, Sloan served as the interim head coach.
LSU was Sloan’s first chance to coach at the Power Five level, but after his work with Jayden Daniels, its evident he was ready.
