  Former LSU coach Smoke Laval will take over at North Florida in 2011.

   

  Former LSU coach Smoke Laval has been selected to take over at North Florida for the 2011 season, according to the Jacksonville Times-Union.

   

  Laval grew up in Pennsylvania and went to college in the Jacksonville area at Jacksonville University. He also spent two seasons as an assistant at Florida in 1982-83 before joining Skip Bertman's LSU staff in 1984.

   

  Since he was fired following the 2006 season and replaced by Paul Mainieri, Laval has been a scout for the Toronto Blue Jays organization. Toronto drafted two LSU position players, Ryan Schimpf and Sean Ochinko, in the 2009 Major League Baseball draft and both signed with the club.
