Ohio State offensive analyst Todd Fitch leaving to join LSU staff

Brian Kelly and the LSU Tigers are bringing some knowledge from Columbus down to Baton Rouge.
On Saturday, it was confirmed that Ohio State offensive analyst Todd Fitch is leaving the Buckeyes for a job with the Tigers, as LSU looks to get back to the top of the SEC in 2024.
“Ohio State offensive analyst Todd Fitch is leaving the program for an analyst job at LSU, @LettermenRow can confirm,” Letterman Row’s Spencer Holbrook posted on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Alas, that’s big news for both LSU and Ohio State. Both teams will have different-looking offenses in 2024, after undergoing a slew of changes on their staff. Now, the Tigers will have Fitch’s wealth of knowledge on their side.
We’ll see how it goes for Todd Fitch with LSU in 2024. It’s evident Brian Kelly and the Tigers are confident in his abilities as he enters the next chapter of his coaching career.
Brian Kelly expresses excitement over Garrett Nussmeier leading LSU’s offense
Waiting in the wings of Jayden Daniels has been Garrett Nussmeier. Entering his fourth season in college football, Nussmeier is a rare breed in modern college football. He has waited his turn behind an eventual Heisman Trophy winner and head coach Brian Kelly is hoping that patience pays off for LSU.

Nussmeier has gotten playing time over the last three seasons. He played in the maximum of four games during the 2021 season before taking a redshirt. As Daniels’ backup, Nussmeier still made 14 appearances and attempted over 150 throws.
Even so, Kelly believes Nussmeier is still in the process of developing. The 2024 season is going to be a whole new experience for the quarterback by truly taking first-team reps for the first time in his career. As Nussmeier gets more comfortable, he will only get better.
“I think more than anything else is his development,” Kelly said when talking with On3’s J.D. PicKell on The Hard Count. “This is still a young man that is going to get better over time. He’s going to get all the reps that he hasn’t gotten. And we’ve saw glimpses of Garrett Nussmeier with very few reps.
“I think all of us, collectively, really like what we saw. So, what I think what’s exciting for me is — a guy that’s really going to get a lot of the reps and is going to get better and better.”
