The LSU Tigers and coach Lane Kiffin have hired former Georgia Bulldogs starting quarterback Joe Cox to be their co-offensive coordinator and tight ends coach. Cox held the same role under Kiffin with the Mississippi Rebels since the 2024 college football season.
Cox followed Kiffin to LSU following Kiffin’s controversial move from Ole Miss. Prior to joining Ole Miss, Cox coached tight ends at Alabama from 2022-2023. Cox was the tight ends coach at Charlotte, which is where he is from, in 2021.
Cox also has experience from coaching stops at South Carolina and Colorado State. At Colorado State, he served as an assistant under coach Mike Bobo, who is now the Georgia Bulldogs’ offensive coordinator.
Cox played college football at Georgia from 2006-2009 during the Mark Richt era. He served as Georgia’s starting quarterback during his senior season in 2009. Cox passed for 2,584 yards, 24 touchdowns and 15 interceptions in 2009. With Cox as the starter, Georgia went 8-5 including an Independence Bowl win over Texas A&M.
