LSU Hires Kevin Peoples as Defensive Coach
Brian Kelly’s new look defensive staff took another step forward as LSU hired former Missouri assistant coach Kevin Peoples.
Peoples coached defensive line last season with Missouri and will follow Blake Baker to Baton Rouge. Peoples will reportedly coach defensive ends and edge rushers, while Bo Davis will coach the interior defensive linemen. Peoples was a semifinalist for the Broyles Award this past season.
Peoples, like all the hires Brian Kelly’s been making this offseason, has ties to Louisiana. Peoples coached at Tulane for four seasons (2016-2019), and also served two different stints at Northwestern State University (1996 and 2001).
