Thomas McGaughey, who has spent the majority of his coaching career at the NFL level, has been named as the Tigers’ special teams coordinator. He will also help on the defensive side of the ball, the release stated. The 37-year-old assistant had spent the past four seasons with the New York Giants. "Thomas is a great addition to the staff," head coach Les Miles said. "He comes to us with a wealth of knowledge and expertise in all phases of special teams. He’s coached in both the NFL and college so he has a tremendous understanding of the game. We are excited about bringing Thomas and his family to LSU." Prior to joining the Giants, McGaughey was with the Denver Broncos for two seasons (2005-2006), while he spent one season (2002) with the Kansas City Chiefs.
His only collegiate coaching experience came at his alma mater. From 2002-2003, McGaughey was Houston’s special teams coordinator as well as serving as cornerbacks coach during his last year with the Cougars.
