LSU football will need a new defensive coordinator in 2021.

LSU football will need a new defensive coordinator in 2021 after moving on from Bo Pelini.

Pelini was hired this past winter to replace Dave Aranda, who became the head coach at Baylor.

There have been several names tossed around as potential candidates to replace Pelini, including former Vanderbilt head coach Derek Mason (which is the candidate I think the Tigers should hire).

After a week of speculation, there appears to be a frontrunner in the search.
