Alabama staffer, former LSU fullback August Mangin rejoins LSU as analyst

Alabama coach Nick Saban and LSU coach Ed Orgeron shake hands after the game in Baton Rouge on Saturday, November 3, 2018. The Alabama Crimson Tide defeated the Tigers 29-0.

LSU has added former LSU fullback and Alabama assistant August Mangin to its staff as an analyst.

Mangin played fullback on LSU’s 2007 national championship team and was on the Tiger staff in 2012 and 2013. He spent 2011 as Northwestern State’s tight ends coach, then worked as the Demons’ special teams coordinator from 2014-2017.

Mangin was an analyst on Alabama’s staff in 2018, but now he’s rejoining LSU as a defensive analyst.

The news was first reported by The Daily Reveille.
