What DC's run the 4-3 that might fit at LSU?

Lots of names floating around, but who runs the 4-3?

And does it matter?

Tem Lukabu from Boston College.

Coached under Shoop at Mississippi State and also coached in the NFL. Played linebacker in college and coaches linebackers.

Improved BC from 100+ to around 60 in total defense in his first year.

Gave Clemson one of their toughest games of the year. Had a great strategy.

The Saints 4-3 scheme (really a 4-2-5 primarily with DeMario and Kwon at lb) fits profile of what O would like to run. If Nielsen has picked up on Dennis Allen’s coverage concepts with receiver passing on the run routes it’s worth the risk.

We may not even get a 4-3 guy. The whole 4-3 or 3-4 scheme is way overblown. I know O prefers a 4-3 but it's not the end all being all

Well I think a 4-3, 3-4, etc, can both work. However, to run a 4-3, you need to recruit 4 DL and then have 4 others for a 2 deep. How many of those guys are there in LA HS football ranks. 3-4, you need 3 and 3 for a 2 deep and there are more 6-1 225-230 type guys in LA HS football to fill at least 2 of those LB slots in a 3-4.

To me, based on what LA HS football produces, it seems a 3-4 is better to run because I think there are more ball players in in-state LA HS ranks and are close footprint (TX, MS, FLA panhandle) that you can recruit to the 34.

Just my 2 cents.
