LSU football’s search for a new defensive coordinator continues.

In recent days, I’ve hit on several options to replace Bo Pelini as LSU football‘s new defensive coordinator.

Unsurprisingly, new names seem to be emerging almost daily.

The latest name to emerge in the Tigers’ search for a new defensive coordinator is from the NFL.

And he has a strong connection to LSU head coach Ed Orgeron.
