Longtime Saints special teams coordinator Greg McMahon is joining LSU's support staff as a consultant, a source confirmed to The Advocate.

McMahon's role will be similar to one held by Bobby April, the former longtime NFL special teams guru who joined the staff last year after coach Ed Orgeron took over for Les Miles. Both are consultant/analyst roles that include mostly film room and office work. They are not allowed to coach on the field, per NCAA rules.

McMahon was one of several assistants Saints coach Sean Payton fired after last season, ending his 11-year run with the franchise. McMahon coached special teams the Past nine seasons. He was interviewed for the special teams job with the Broncos last month, according to the Colorado news station KUSA.

Before arriving with the Saints, McMahon served as a college assistant at several programs, including his alma mater Eastern Illinois, Illinois, Minnesota and North Alabama.

LSU has filled its nine full-time assistant coaching positions, but the Tigers do not have a special teams coordinator, something that could be added in the future, Orgeron indicated last month. The NCAA is expected to approve in April a 10th full-time assistant coach.

LSU's support staff is a growing unit.

Offensive coordinator Matt Canada brought two support staff members with him from Pittsburgh: offensive analysts Matt Tomsho and Dave Bucar.
