I got a PM on BB.com that Peveto and Mallory will be named as co-Defensive Coordinators and a new Special Teams coach will be brought in to replace Peveto.

I take it you like the idea? I don't know much about either of them as coordinators, but I'm not entirely sure how I feel about co-defensive coordinators. Who will be making the in-game defensive calls?

I'm sure both will put their heads together to game-plan, then one will make the calls during the game.

I saw a rumor saying that LSU interviewed Ed Orgeron to be their special teams coach. I know Bobby Hebert's been pushing him towards LSU since he got fired.
 
Hmmm, not sure how in love I am with this idea. I didn't think LSU's special teams were all that special this year, particularly kick coverage. So promoting Peveto doesn't really thrill me. I actually thought his job might be in danger and instead they promote him. I think I'd much rather have the next Bo Pelini. I'm hoping this rumor is false.

Peveto wasn't just the special teams coach last year. He was also the LB coach. Since there's restrictions on how many coaches you can hire, this move would allow them to hire a coach to focus on Special Teams.
 
Rockymtn, who is the next Bo Pelini? You need to be able to indentify him and have him avaible at the same time in order to get him as well as him having interest in the program. Both Mallory and Peveto can recruit. So I am happy with the move.

If I knew that, I'd be the next Les Miles.

I'd have been happier with Tenuta but you do bring up a good point. There's not a lot to choose from. I don't really like the co-DC idea either. I think there needs to be one guy running the defense. So from that standpoint, I'd have been happier with either Mallory or Peveto.

The bottom line is that I can live with anybody as long as they are aggressive and will attack the other team's offense. If these guys will do that then so be it.

I heard Les say that regardless of who the new DC is, the philosophy will remain the same. He said he likes the aggressive style defense we have so if he either promotes someone from within or brings someone else in, they will be following the same mindset.

Hum...if our defense was aggressive than I would hate to see what is passive.

The defense was pretty aggressive when healthy. The injuries started to pile up and it's harder to send so many blitzes when your players are worn out.

I do not like it at all, but I will trust the Head Coach of the Nat'l Champion LSU Tigers for now...
 
What is the deal with Jon Tenuta? Is he off the list?
 
No one really knows. The rumor is that he's abrasive and that Les feels that the chemistry between the current group of coaches is too good to risk messing up with someone like Tenuta.
 
Darn, I really like Tenuta. Whatever they do I will approve of though. NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS DONT LIE(Unless they're AP >_>)

I disagree. I think Bo likes to play off the ball a lot and tries to put his players in the right spots in the event of a mistake. I do not think he dictated the game enough even when we were healthy.

It happened in the Tennessee game two years ago when we were up 21, it happened in the SEC championship that same year against UGA, and it was a regular occurrence since. I personally think that Bo is an average-good DC who happened to be surrounded by superior talent...kind of like Crowton making Miles look better than he really is.

It is not to be too critical of Bo, but I would have liked to see a more aggressive D that put continuous pressure in the other teams backfield. We got away with rushing 4 and as good as they were they would have been better rushing 5+ in many situation IMO because they did not generate enough pressure, but when he decided to blitz we were usually successful. I am hoping for a Saban-isk DC, which is why I was hoping Will Muschamp would be brought in as DC. Either way as long as LSU keeps bring in talent we should be fine.
