(Stats Perform) – Bo Pelini knows what it’s like to win a national title at LSU and appears ready to chase another one with the reigning FBS champion.
Multiple reports on Monday said Pelini will resign as Youngstown State’s head coach after five seasons to join LSU coach Ed Orgeron’s staff as defensive coordinator. He held the same position under Les Miles from 2005-07 and helped the Tigers win the BCS national championship in his final season before he left to become Nebraska’s head coach.
Pelini, 52, is 33-28 at Youngstown State, highlighted by a 12-4 record in his second season in 2016, when the Penguins won four FCS playoff games and finished as the national runner-up. He has a 100-55 career mark, including 67-27 at Nebraska from 2008-14.
His older brother Carl is Youngstown State’s assistant head coach.
LSU’s defensive coordinator position opened earlier this month when Dave Aranda departed to become Baylor’s head coach.
