Cincinnati Bearcats offensive coordinator Mike Denbrock is leaving UC to join LSU head coach Brian Kelly as the Tigers' new offensive coordinator, and the hiring has been finalized, according to multiple reports late Saturday night.
Denbrock has been UC's offensive coordinator for all five of Luke Fickell's seasons as the Bearcats' head coach.
Yahoo's Pete Thamel was the first to report Denbrock's agreement with LSU:
About one year ago, Denbrock stayed with the Bearcats after reportedly interviewing for the same position at Vanderbilt University.
Denbrock was an assistant at Notre Dame under Kelly from 2010 to 2016, when Denbrock joined Fickell at UC.
Denbrock also has coached at Indiana State, Washington, Stanford, Buffalo, Illinois State, Michigan State and his alma mater - Grand Valley State - where he also coached with Kelly for several seasons.
Kelly, a Massachusetts native, tried out his Louisiana accent while addressing a crowd last month at an LSU basketball game.
