LSU assistant coach Keith Richard is returning to his alma mater.
Richard has accepted the head coaching position at Louisiana-Monroe, LSU coach Trent Johnson confirmed on Thursday.
“Obviously, I’m excited for Keith,” Johnson said. “He was very instrumental in establishing the base of this program.”
Richard served on Johnson’s staff the past two seasons after coaching at Louisiana Tech from 1999-2007. Before his time at Louisiana Tech, Richard spent five years at ULM as an assistant.
Richard graduated from ULM with a bachelor’s degree in general business in 1982. He earned a masters from the university in guidance and counseling in 1986.
