LSU Football Hires Chiefs’ Matt House As New Defensive Coordinator

Brian Kelly made one of the most significant hires for his first LSU football staff on Tuesday, tabbing Chiefs assistant Matt House to be his defensive coordinator.

House, who has extensive experience in both college and the NFL, has been with the Chiefs since 2019, winning Super Bowl LIV with the franchise. Prior to that NFL job, he served as inside linebackers coach, special teams coordinator and eventually defensive coordinator at Kentucky.

The Michigan State graduate has also served as the defensive coordinator at Pitt and FIU, and has experience at North Carolina, Gardner-Webb, Buffalo and his alma mater at the college level, and the Panthers and Rams in the pros.
