When Ed Orgeron hired Bo Pelini as LSU football‘s defensive coordinator before the 2020 season, it was a move widely praised by analysts and fans.
Pelini, who served as Les Miles’ defensive coordinator in Baton Rouge from 2005-2007, was a successful head coach at Nebraska with years of defensive experience.
But unfortunately for the Tigers, the hire didn’t work out.
LSU’s defense was terrible in 2020, giving up 34.9 points per game (No. 98 in the nation).
Pelini and the Tigers parted ways after the season.
