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.

Guy should have never been given this type of Contract . this is on Woodard

CDawson•53 months

Agree, Woodward should be fired before Bo.

Goose•53 months

Stop the long term rip off contracts... Woodward really screwed A&M with their Jimbo contract. Stop that shite.

So 7.5 million for the year. Not bad.

NPComb•53 months

Bo is better than what he produced at LSU. It was a perfect storm of negative shite to start the year. IMO... he was not the right hire. He and Aranda are different in scheme and philosophy and require different personnel to make their defenses perform. Anyway, good luck coach. I wish you the best unless your new team squares up against the Tigers!

Funds are gonna be scarce on paying the replacement. Let’s hope that O turns it around and finds a Joe Brady like deal. His job will depend on it.
