Brian Kelly issues statement on Jimmy Lindsey

STATEMENT FROM LSU COACH BRIAN KELLY ON DEFENSIVE LINE COACH JIMMY LINDSEY

“Defensive line coach Jimmy Lindsey will step away from the LSU Football program as he deals with a personal health matter. In Coach Lindsey’s absence, John Jancek will serve as defensive line coach, and Bob Diaco will coach outside linebackers and special teams. Our prayers are with Coach Lindsey and his family, and we ask that their privacy be respected. We look forward to his return to the program.”

It was reported on Tuesday that the first year LSU defensive line coach was taken from the Tigers football facility via EMS.
