Report: Bo Pelini out at LSU

[tweeterhawk]

I hate to see bad things happen to good people.

Major LSU defensive changes: Bo Pelini, Bill Johnson, Bill Busch not expected back: sources | LSU | theadvocate.com

$5.2 million buyout....WOW!

 

[WinOneThisCentury]

Maybe Nebraska hires him as a defensive coordinator. I could really see him taking direction from Frost. LOL

That will buy a lot of Little Friskies. Bo and his cat will be set.

 

[The Big LeHAWKski]

So much money these days in NCAA coaching.
NFL isn't that much of a step up compared to 10 yrs ago.

Pelini has made a nice living not working. Wish I could be that fortunate

I think the irony is that Coach O isn't right there next to him seeking employment. National Title aside, what has he done there with out Joe Burrow? Also looks like his OC is retiring. I think its safe to say that Coach O may be on borrowed time.

Jeez, are LSU fans already that fickle? They are 1 year removed from the national championship, a dominate one at that.

If LSU did want to fire Orgeron they probably couldn't afford it. Firing Pelini took most of their budget that they gave for coaching changes and Orgeron cashed in on a huge contract extension after last season as he is signed through 2026.

why would a buy out be relevant here. Not challenging you, I just don't get it. Why would LSU put themselves in this situation. It just does not make sense

That's a lot of dough for an assistant coach, especially in a year with revenues down across the board.

He's got a good agent.

He's got a good agent.

Yep quite the professional!

LSU fans(the smart ones) realize they caught lightning in a bottle with that national championship. So how long do you delay the inevitable? You are going to have to fire Orgeron at some point.

 

[NCHawker]

apart from Saban, coaching in the SEC ends with being fired.

Besides it being impractical it's too expensive at this point.

 

[SmokeTownHawk]

So no one aside from Alabama likes continuity? Saban's going to retire sometime and with the amount of talent in the Deep South one would think Orgeron would be able to do it again.

 

[BigD]

Any relation to Kirk’s agent???

 

[thetrza]

I think he would be a solid addition to the staff in Iowa City.
