So what's the story here? I've seen comments on other boards that range from "glad to see him get somewhere like Kentucky" to seething hate ( ). I'm curious as to the back story behind such a range of LSU fan emotions?

I have a feeling may be necessary.

He was the "veto" half of the infamous Mal-veto Co-DC experiment in 2008.

Majority of the replies will be bbq/food related -img or text.

He took the reigns of a defense that had plenty of young talent but no clue how to game plan or make adjustments. Our QB situation certainly didn't help though. I'm not sure I'll ever figure out how Danny McCray could look so lost on an SEC field, and several years later turn out to be a valuable starting safety for the Dallas Cowboys.

I don't blame him for the 2008 season. I blame Pelini. He knew what he had in that senior laiden class and rode them to a head coaching job. He is the reason we lost the Arkansas game. The first string was worn out by the end of the season. If Pelini had gotten more of the younger players ready in 2007, we would have had more to work with in 2008.

he went out on a high with that georgia tech game but my goodness, that 2008 defense was bad. it was so bad. and it's not like it was devoid of any talent. mallory sucked just as much. peveto was a solid special teams coach though, IMO.

He sucks but he has a lot of family and friends here who will rush to defend him.

I'm shocked how much love he is getting in this thread I guess time heals all wounds.

Really nice guy but not a very good coach, IMHO. Co-coordinated a horrible defense at LSU, then took over a Northwestern State team that had gone 7-4 the previous season and returned something like 16 starters -- he went 0-11 with them.

As a position coach, I have no idea.
