Fire him at halftime? Media, fans rip LSU DC Bo Pelini as Alabama drops 45 points
By Andrew Olson
Published:
Alabama’s offense vs. LSU’s defense has been the bloodbath many people were expecting. It has been a terrible night in Baton Rouge for Tigers defensive coordinator Bo Pelini.
Alabama scored touchdowns on its first five possessions of the game. On the sixth, the Crimson Tide offense still scored, but “only” a field goal to make it 38-14. UA “bounced back” on the next possession, scoring a sixth first-half touchdown thanks to an incredible catch by DeVonta Smith.
UA has three in the triple-digit club after two quarters: Mac Jones (338 passing yards), Najee Harris (118 rushing yards) and Smith (219 yards).
Alabama’s dominant night on offense means a rough night of social media mentions for Pelini. There is plenty of pink slip talk, as you can see below:
So does Bo Pelini even get to come out for the second half or does he spent the second half packing up his belongings? #LSU #GeauxTigers @lsutigerswire @usatodaysports pic.twitter.com/Idle8a97mQ

Coach O should fire Bo Pelini BEFORE halftime to get a jump to hire the newest hottest DC in the country ANYONE ELSE!

Goodness, Devonta Smith just made an insane TD catch. Alabama has 45 points in the first half! Poor LSU. I'm gonna guess Bo Pelini is going to be unemployed after this game.

Ya know, I don’t see how LSU justifies employing Bo Pelini.

Bo Pelini should hand in his resignation.
– After Flott gets BLASTED by Smith, they put Flott BACK on him and gets burned again.
– Stingley gets hurt on the play anyway.
How can coaches make this type of money and get away with it?
