When an assistant coach turns down a role with a high-pedigree school such as the LSU Tigers, it typically means the program he’s currently at is in good shape. When Kentucky defensive coordinator Brad White effectively did that earlier this week, it was just another indicator that the Wildcats are serious about building a consistent contender.
White, who just finished up his fourth season on the Kentucky coaching staff and third as defensive coordinator, was reportedly a serious candidate for the same position with LSU. The Tigers’ new head coach Brian Kelly was even able to get White down to Baton Rouge for a meeting before ultimately turning down an offer.
