LSU is adding another former Ole Miss administrator to its staff.
Assistant Director of Football Operations Tyler Viens will leave that role at Ole Miss and assume it in Baton Rouge under head coach Lane Kiffin.
Viens joined Kiffin’s staff at Ole Miss in 2021. He graduated from Florida in 2016. Viens joins Dwike Wilson, Director of Recruiting, and Billy Glasscock, General Manager, as Ole Miss support staff members to join LSU’s program.
LSU parted ways with General Manager Austin Thomas this week. He had worked under Brian Kelly but will not continue with the program under the new leadership.
