I texted the same thing to my son when the game was over.
The Bo defense couldn’t stop the crossing routes and side line routes (with our #7 at the corner) at YSU. His defense did the same thing at LSU yesterday. Giving up 620 passing yards... are you kidding me..

Coach O is a defensive minded coach. He will not be happy if that is how LSU's defense plays the rest of the year.

LSU got what they deserved.  They hired a "name" and were so arrogant that they probably never looked at the state of the YSU defense over the past three years. Any school that could perform "due diligence" would not have touched Pelini.

Mike Leach's offense is going to do that to a lot of Teams this season..

Wick you nailed it.  Had LSU really looked at what was happening at YSU they would have seen how bad his defenses were here.

Bo just turned in another masterpiece.  Previously winless Missouri beat LSU, 45-41. Missouri gained 585 yards of total offense.  They have a freshman quarterback.  They had three receivers out with the virus. Our program could not have endured another year of Pelini.  Thank you LSU.

LSU might have to buy out remaining of his contract after this season (similar to Nebraska).He might also have to take #8 with him to the next job.

In the post game interview, LSU HC summarized the defense in one word, “embarrassing “. He stated that “it will be fixed”.
Can Bo last till the end of the season? Or will he bench the starters...

Not gonna get fixed.  The highlights I saw the secondary was non-existent. Receivers running untouched the whole game.  Blown coverages and no pass rush. Who is their quality control on defense? You would've thought he was out there. Oh and its on tape for all the SEC to game plan.

LSU has all of the symptoms of a coaching staff with D'Alesio-the worst DB on the field and the worst DB coach in YSU history.  Good for you Bo, I  am glad you took him.  At least he isn't here anymore.  Receivers were open everywhere.

Pelini did irreparable harm to the program. Set it back years. A miserable, failed experiment involving a miserable man who was an embarrassment to the program, the university and the City of Youngstown.  Whomever thought that it was a good idea to bring him aboard (and keep him) should be ashamed. What an unmitigated disaster.

I have to agree, but he had the stats, along with a run to the title game; so people were happy with him. Most people are not overly-educated in football. They look at the results. I was most-disappointed in the lack of program building under Pelini. It seemed like we were running out to fill holes far too often. I mean, you know that you are going to lose two incredible DE's. You know that your OC is perfect for this league. what the heck? Although if two people do not get along, I guess it is what it is. However, you should have enough of a football mind to go out and look at his TB's during his tenure and keep it going. I also did not like how we recruited DL's and took the leftover's for OL. We ended up keeping the same players on the O-line.

Certainly, as it turns out,  his hire was a bad one, but hindsight is always 20/20. His only run was mostly with another guys players.

Wonder how life would have been if JH was still here.

Give it a rest with the Heacock stuff. Guy is a good DC but a below average HC. Got the keys of a Ferrari handed to him and gave us 1 playoff appearance in 9 years....

The Football program is stuck in neutral and at times in reverse.  The task of turning the program around is monumental.  It is discouraging that being in the play-offs was taken for granted.  Now it seems we will never get there.

It would be foolish to judge Phillips by the won-lost record this spring.  I am looking for the answers to these two questions. Will the team play hard for four quarters, regardless of the score? And will the team that walks off the field in Missouri be better than the team that walks on the field in North Dakota? We would already know these answers if Pelini were still the coach.

Look I think RS and JT had no choice and would have been fools not to hire Bo. Every other coach (less Heacock, until it was too late) was given a chance to put his own mark on the program, in all 3 phases of the game. We did an outstanding job of keeping Bo contained and/or under wraps. He had some success and was rewarded with a bigger job. Be happy, we could be spending time talking about what his mouth did to the program, instead of his skill-set. I mean honestly, what other program would pull in such a name? In short, the hire and run to the final has kept YSU football relevant. If nothing else, Phillips knows the expectations.

All do respect it was Eric Wolfords recruits that Bo took us to the title game with.  Having said that,  Bo was brought in because Eric didn't get us over the hump, if you will.

As I said before, if our #8 had not dropped the interception (right in his hands) at the end of the conference game, YSU would have gone to playoff. Bo would not have been here.
No wonder Bo took him to LSU with him and destroyed the quality of the LSU defense in the process.

Bo's defense was perfect against Bama.  they scored every time they had the ball in the 1st half.  two times it only took one minute seventeen seconds.
Bo and his side kick will soon be coaching at Mooney.

LSU HC said Bo’s defensive scheme was too complex and he wanted that to be simplified. Apparently, it didn’t work.
Well, if it was too complex for YSU and LSU, it probably would not work for Mooney.
 He might have take it to the NFL, lol.

LSU football parts ways with defensive coordinator Bo Pelini after one season

Bo Pelini will not return for another season as LSU's defensive coordinator, the school announced.

Pelini, a former head coach at Youngstown State and Nebraska, was brought on to coach LSU's defense in January but ultimately failed to live up to expectations, as the Tigers ranked next-to-last in the SEC in yards allowed per game.

In a statement released by LSU on Monday, Pelini said he and head coach Ed Orgeron "mutually decided it's best'' to part ways.

"I am grateful to call Coach O a friend and I am thankful for the opportunity to come back to LSU, but I have decided to move on in my coaching career,'' Pelini added.

Pelini had two years remaining on his contract. The school said in the statement that the parties agreed to a financial settlement.

No. 44-ranked LB Davis decommits from LSU
More changes are expected to occur on the LSU coaching staff throughout the offseason, a source told ESPN.

LSU failed to recapture the magic of last season, when it went undefeated and won a national championship. The Tigers lost their opening game to Mississippi State and needed back-to-back wins to finish the regular season 5-5.

LSU also allowed 650 total yards in a 55-17 loss to rival Alabama on Dec. 5.

However, the defense showed improvement in four of the last five games, three of which LSU won. The Tigers' defense allowed only one touchdown in a loss at Texas A&M and created six turnovers in a victory over Mississippi last weekend.

"I was proud of how hard our team competed down stretch, the way our young guys stepped up and were developing and the overall direction we were headed,'' Pelini said.

This is reported in the local newspaper today:

Pelini on the move?

LOCAL SPORTS
DEC 22, 2020

The Associated Press
 
 
LSU defensive coordinator Bo Pelini is leaving the program after one difficult season in which the Tigers allowed six opponents to gain more than 500 yards, a person familiar with the situation said. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity on Monday because the terms of Pelini’s departure were not final and had not been announced.


Pelini, who was hired after Dave Aranda left the Tigers to become Baylor’s head coach, signed a four-year contract with LSU worth more than $9 million. He would still be owed nearly $7 million, but could agree to a buyout for less than that as coaches routinely do.

Pelini was in his second stint as defensive coordinator at LSU, having served in the same capacity under Les Miles when the Tigers won a national title in 2007. Pelini left LSU to become Nebraska’s head coach in 2008 and was Youngstown State’s head coach for five season before returning to LSU.

This year, he inherited a defense decimated by the 2020 NFL draft and subsequent opt-outs because of the COVID-19 pandemic. LSU was forced to play numerous freshmen and other players with relatively little experience, and coverage busts were frequent.

LSU allowed five foes to score more than 40 points, starting with a season-opening, 44-34 loss to Mississippi State in which the Bulldogs passed for 623 yards. LSU allowed 650 total yards in a 55-17 loss to rival Alabama on Dec. 5.
