Is there any chance BK can convince Bo Davis to leave Texas and come back to LSU?

It’d be weird to leave a team that’s in the playoff and all the recruits you’ve brought in there, but the intrigue of going back to your alma mater is always an X factor.

Kelly reached out to Davis 2 yrs ago when he was assembling his staff. Bo listened but couldn't be persuaded to come to LSU. Texas made him a sizeable increase in salary, and I think he's very happy in Austin and is getting paid for his efforts ... $1.2M with bonuses this year (2023). His contract ends in Feb 2025.

He’s legit and can be one obvious piece that explains Sarks success this season especially over Bama and in recruiting.

I think your post is solid and if LSU can get Bo to come back home, that is a 2fer. Coach Robinson from Aggie is now DC at Syracuse. He was a DL coach right in your neighborhood that you battled for recruits in LA/TX/MS. Coach Davis, same thing at Texas.

If I am BK, I look to see if Bo wants to coach at LSU. Coach Davis is now 53 and grew up between Jackson and Hatisburg. As you get older, maybe coaching close to home and having a chance to drive and see family is a selling point. It was for getting our OL Coach Brad Davis.

So just my view, I like the way you think about this.

Sark was fortunate to play Bama that early in the season before they got their shite together.

Bo's bio

We see this thread every time we have an opening at the DL coach and he hasn’t came yet.so I’d say no, he isn’t coming.

Prob very little chance. And why would he want to leave great city like Austin and a great program.
