LSU Football Coach Ed Orgeron has reportedly hired veteran NFL coach Scott Linehan as the Tigers new passing game coordinator. Linehan’s last job was with the Dallas Cowboys where he was the offensive coordinator in Big D from 2015 to 2018. But Dallas never had a passing attack ranked better than 16th in the NFL.

The versatile Taysom Hill says he views himself as a franchise quarterback in the NFL and if the right opportunity presented itself, he would leave the Saints. The 29-year-old is a restricted free agent, but there have been reports that the Saints could turn to Hill as their starting quarterback if Drew Brees retires.

Saints Owner Gayle Benson has released a lengthy statement that says the franchise is proud of the role they played in helping the Archdiocese of New Orleans with its child sexual abuse scandal. But plaintiffs suing the church say the Saints helped conceal names of clergymen who faced credible allegations.
