Zach Barnett with Football Scoop is reporting that Brian Kelly is targeting Kentucky defensive coordinator Brad White to be his new DC at LSU.
quote:

Sources said White is in Baton Rouge and a deal could come together quickly if White believes he would be a fit on Kelly's staff.

White has coordinated Kentucky's defense for the past three seasons and on staff for four, helping the Wildcats go 32-17 in that time. This year's team is a win away from a 10-win season for just the second time since 1977.
The report, if confirmed true, will likely mean that current LSU defensive coordinator Daronte Jones will not be retained on Kelly's staff.

White, a 39-year old coach from Concord, Massachusetts played linebacker in college at Georiga and then Wake Forest. Here's a look at his coaching resume:

2007–2008 Wake Forest (GA)
2009 Murray State (S)
2010–2011 Air Force (ILB)
2012–2013 Indianapolis Colts (DQC)
2014 Indianapolis Colts (asst. LB)
2015–2017 Indianapolis Colts (OLB)
2018 Kentucky (OLB)
2019–present Kentucky (DC/OLB)

This is now yesterday's news on something that shouldn't take that long to negotiate. Can we have an update?

Someone educate me. Why is this good? I know nothing about the guy. I don’t think Kentucky when I think defense is all I can say.

UK was top 30 this year in points allowed and yardage allowed.

That would probably mean us losing Blake Baker as well. He’s the guy on defense I really want to keep. Andre Carter if that means getting Quency Wiggins.

Another coach from outside Louisiana? Might not be a fit. Probably won't understand our culture.

What is "our" culture? Winning football games is the idea right? How many coaches from Alabama are on the Alabama staff? How many coaches from Georgia are on the UGA staff? This talk of culture is exhausting. WINNING IS THE CULTURE.

No better examples than Brees and Burrow. The culture will become part of them as much as they become a part of it. Just win baby.
