Report: LSU Expected To Part Ways With DC Bo Pelini
48
Christopher Hanewinckel-USA TODAY Sports
In expected news, LSU and defensive coordinator Bo Pelini are parting ways after one season, according to multiple sources.
Pelini was hired on January 27, signing a three-year deal worth $2.3 million a year. He replaced former defensive coordinator Dave Aranda who was left for the head coach job at Baylor.
Pelini's buyout is about $5.2 million.
LSU's defense under Pelini struggled this season giving up an average of 34.9 points per game and 492 yards per game. The Tigers finished 2020 with a 5-5 record.

Coach Zero should help pay for Poor Wennie's buyout. Zero make way too much and doesn't do much.

I wish Sheppard had a little more coaching experience. I can see someone with a deeper relationship to LSU like him, as a Bradie James "field general" type guy, helping this program rediscover those days of shutdown defense.

Do people realize "buyouts" are really just the remainder of the contract? I feel like people think it's money on top of what he would make. It is pretty simple, if a coach signs $5 million contract for 5 years at $1 million per year, and is fired after one year, his buyout if $4 million. I don't get why people are so outraged over this. It sucks, yes, but this is the market. No football coach is signing non-guaranteed contracts lmao

Why should he be paid 5 years of good work for 1 year of shitty work? Is anyone else going to give him that kind of money? If not, he isn’t worth it. That simple.

Do you realize that contracts are rarely simple? Most schools do not simply agree to a buyout of the full amount. More often, this is negotiated. A coach with more leverage will get more of a buyout. What was Bo's leverage? That LSU agreed to whatever he wanted? Most initial contracts are a 50-75% buyout. For non-HCs, it's less. That Pelini would could the full amount is just horrible negotiation on LSU's part. Basically, they bent over and took it.

"Pelini's buyout is about $5.2 million." - That's good work if you can get it! Or if an administration is just THAT stupid!
