Marshall expected to hire Missouri analyst, former LSU staffer Derek Shay

Marshall is expected to hire Missouri analyst and former LSU staffer Derek Shay as its new tight ends coach, sources tell On3.

Shay, who worked at LSU as a graduate assistant under Ed Orgeron, was the Tigers’ de facto tight ends coach in 2020 and ’21.

Prior to LSU, Shay was tight ends coach at McNeese State and the offensive line coach at high school powerhouse IMG Academy.

Marshall is entering its third season with Charles Huff as its head coach. The Thundering Herd finished last season 9-4.

Shay will be the replacement for Billy Gonzales, who was hired by Marshall in February but left recently to return to Florida for his third stint as the Gators’ wide receivers coach.
