Report: Louisiana DL Coach Rory Segrest Departing Team to Join NFL Staff
Louisiana Ragin' Cajun defensive line coach/assistant head coach Rory Segrest has reportedly decided to leave the team a week into February to join the Jacksonville Jaguars staff.
Doug Pederson was hired as the Jaguars head coach last week.
He and Segrest were assistants on the Philadelphia Eagles staff for two seasons (2009, 2010).
Segrest was a member of former coach Billy Napier's first staff at UL, joining the program in 2018.
His reported exit opens up a spot on the coaching staff.
Head coach Michael Desormeaux said last week he was close to hiring the new Special Teams coordinator after coach Chris Couch left for Florida a few weeks ago.
Louisiana will begin spring practice on March 8th.
