QuoteLSU has fired former Auburn star Dameyune Craig from his job as wide receivers coach, the school announced Thursday.

Craig, 42, was hired at LSU last season after three years in a similar post at Auburn. He has also coached on the staffs at Florida State and South Alabama.

LSU also announced Thursday that running backs coach Jabbar Juluke has been re-assigned within the athletic department. No reason was given for the moves.

"We appreciate the work that Dameyune and Jabbar did for LSU," LSU coach Ed Orgeron growled in a statement translated by the school.

QuoteHe filled LSU's final coaching vacancy entering the 2016 campaign, one in which Miles was relieved of his duties following a 2-2 start.

Craig took to Twitter on Thursday night and said that he received a phone call from Miles. Craig went on to label the former Tigers coach as "a class act."

And this isn't even counting a rant that wide receiver Dee Anderson went on and subsequently deleted.

Neil Farrell committed to LSU on Thursday after being primarily recruited by Craig:

Scott Rabalais: Fate of LSU's Dameyune Craig, Jabbar Juluke was cruel, not unusual

QuoteOrgeron dismissed running backs coach Jabbar Juluke (he was reassigned within the athletic department) and wide receivers coach Dameyune Craig on Thursday, just one day after LSU completed its signing class.

There was one reason for that, of course: Orgeron didn't want their imminent ejections to affect recruiting.

Once again, note to recruits: Commit to the school, not the coach.

Why the change? These were Les Miles hires, and they didn't jibe with Orgeron's vision of the program going forward. You could see that particularly with Craig when Orgeron named Steve Ensminger interim offensive coordinator after LSU fired Miles. Is it a harsh way to do business? Yes, but not an unusual one. Miles fired receivers coach Tony Ball shortly after signing day last year. Coaches get pink slips after the letters of intent come in every year.

Like any coach, Orgeron isn't tasked with making "feel good" choices. It's his multi-million dollar job on the line, and he has to be comfortable with the people around him who will do the best job of helping him win enough games to stay in office.
