LSU is expected to hire Youngstown State head coach Bo Pelini as its next defensive coordinator, according to Sports Illustrated's Ross Dellenger.
Pelini will reportedly receive a multiyear deal that will pay him around $2 million per year, reports Dellenger.
The Tigers started their search for a new defensive coordinator this month after Dave Aranda left to become Baylor's head coach.
Pelini previously served as LSU's defensive coordinator from 2005-07 under head coach Les Miles. During his final season with the team, the Tigers won the BCS national championship over Ohio State.
