LSU football parts ways with defensive coordinator Bo Pelini after one season

Bo Pelini will not return for another season as LSU's defensive coordinator, the school announced.

Pelini, a former head coach at Youngstown State and Nebraska, was brought on to coach LSU's defense in January but ultimately failed to live up to expectations, as the Tigers ranked next-to-last in the SEC in yards allowed per game.

Pelini had two years remaining on his contract. The school said in a statement that the parties agreed to a financial settlement.

More changes are expected to occur on the LSU coaching staff throughout the course of the offseason, a source told ESPN.
