BATON ROUGE, La. -- LSU head coach Les Miles says he's hired former Georgia assistant Tony Ball as the Tigers' new receivers coach.<br />
<br />
Ball has coached at the college level for about three decades, working with wide receivers for about 20 years.<br />
<br />
He spent the past nine years at Georgia, working both with running backs and receivers.<br />
<br />
Players he coached while with the Bulldogs included current NFL wide receiver A.J. Green.<br />
<br />
Miles says Ball is a Southeastern Conference veteran who can develop LSU's receivers into great players.<br />
<br />
Ball, who was a running back and kick returner for Tennessee-Chattanooga from 1977 to 1980, has also coached receivers at Virginia Tech, Louisville and at UT-Chattanooga.
