He was diagnosed in 2011, seven months after being hired as offensive coordinator. He stayed on staff as quarterbacks coach in 2011 and 2012. After the 2012 season, he moved to an analyst role and remained at LSU through 2018.

Heisman winning quarterback Jayden Daniels is listed as the starting quarterback of the Washington Commanders on their first depth chart of the season.
