Pelini will be back next year. LSU would be stupid to pay the large buyout and start from square one again next year with a new system.

Just because you keep starting posts saying this doesn't make it true!

Look what type of defense he runs then look at what Orgeron says he wants to run! Also look at what type of Defense we are recruiting... then ask yourself how likely will Jim Leonard be our DC.

Then think that he is coaching at his alma mater but he will leave for a lateral position...

Look, I think he is a great DC but it's not likely to happen.

If we were switching back to a 3 man front then I would want Derek Mason. He knows how to shut down the spread and hurry up offenses.

It was a historically bad defense.

O fired Matt Canada after just one season in which the offense showed good flashes and had a pretty decent season.

Because of personalities.

The only thing O cares about is if he gets along with the coordinator. He and Bo are friends.

So we’re going to hire a Wisconsin boy, who played at Wisconsin, away from Wisconsin for the same job in Louisiana? To a team that just fired its last DC after 1 season?

Morons keep saying this.

Where did they ever coach together before this season? Their only connection is that Pelini once coached with Pete Carroll.

It shows how stupid this guy is, he doesn’t even know what type of defenses are being run and recruited

No and he's not coming. Jim runs a 3-4 and isn't leaving his alma mater

Runs a 3-4, he's already home at his Alma mater, and Ed has already burned his connection with his words about Aranda.

No way. He is on the record AFTER he declined Saban’s offer that he did not want to leave or come to the south.

He's an Aranda guy and runs a 3-4.

For both of those reasons, Orgeron is not hiring him.

He played at Wisconsin. He is from there. He makes close to 1 million and he loves loves WI. Don't think he is going anywhere.

If that's the case then prepare to pay for O's buyout on Sunday, November 28, 2021.
