Bo Pelini Hired as LSU Defensive Coordinator

What’d been rumored for about a week now was confirmed today, as LSU announced the hire of Bo Pelini as its next defensive coordinator, replacing the outgoing Dave Aranda.

Pelini had previously run the Tiger defense from 2005-2007, before leaving to become Nebraska’s head coach, where he was 67-27 through seven seasons. From his rather unceremonious departure from Lincoln, he has since gone 100-55 in five seasons at Youngstown State.

Delly had a few more details on the contract later this afternoon:
