This 2020 season for LSU football was a challenging one after winning it all in 2019. Not only did they lose their top players to the NFL Draft, but they also had to deal with opt-outs and inconsistent play. As a result, the defense suffered, resulting in LSU firing defensive coordinator Bo Pelini. It appears that head coach Ed Orgeron has a favorite to fill the defensive coordinator vacancy.

According to AL.com, an early candidate of interest to replace Pelini is current Arkansas defensive coordinator Barry Odom, whom Orgeron is reportedly a big fan of.


quote:

If LSU can’t pry Odom away from Arkansas, sources told AL.com that they’re also targeting Cincinnati defensive coordinator Marcus Allen, Seattle Seahawks defensive coordinator Kris Richard and Wisconsin defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard.


quote:

Nothing is official, but Odom is the name to watch in LSU’s defensive coordinator search.

Whoever it is, please tie the contract to O. Let’s face it. If these hires don’t pan out then he’s gone. We don’t need more stupid buyouts. I’m still sick over the Bo P buyout.

I don't think that would help getting the best candidate. Aranda survived the Miles to Orgeron transition, just get the best guy.

Bowl season ended yesterday. NFL is still playing. Why should they rush to meet some fake deadline?
