Blast from the past: Southern's 2013 wide receiver coach returns to the Bluff for deep group

BATON ROUGE, Louisiana -- Randall Menard was devastated when he found out
Chris Coleman would no longer be his wide receivers coach at Southern.

Menard, then a sophomore, came into the program at the same time as Coleman in 2013. The two won a championship together and went to another before Coleman ventured out of Baton Rouge for three years.

It almost feels like fate Coleman should come back to coach the Jaguars in Menard’s sixth and final season.

“Knowing he came back and I came back, it was great. It was like a sign,” Menard said. “We don’t know the result yet but we’re going to find out.”

Coleman only left the Jaguars in 2014 to be closer to his family and watch his son play his final few years of high school football.

Returning to Southern was not something he planned or thought would be an option.

But when his old position became available again, like Menard, Coleman thought it was meant to be.
