LSU football coach Ed Orgeron has his offensive coordinator and his name is Matt Canada.

The 44-year old Canada reached an agreement with LSU after spending Tuesday interviewing and ironing out the details.

The Canada file:

Experience at FBS schools:

Running backs coach at Northern Illinois (1998-2000), quarterbacks coach at Northern Illinois (2001-02), offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach at Northern Illinois (2003), quarterbacks coach at Indiana (2004-06), offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach at Indiana (2007-10), offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach at Northern Illinois (2011), offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach at North Carolina State (2013-15), offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach at Pittsburgh (2016).

Canada was one of five finalists for the 2016 Frank Broyles Award which goes to the best assistant coach in the country. The Pittsburgh offense averaged more than 200 yards both rushing and passing this season – 230 rushing yards and 218 passing yards. The Panthers offense scored five touchdowns per game. Canada’s last two offenses at North Carolina State averaged at least 200 yards per game rushing and passing. In 2014-15, the Wolfpack offense scored four touchdowns per game. Canada has the deepest body of work of the top three candidates on the list.
