LSU DC Bo Pelini tears into defensive players on sidelines
The LSU defense has been very inconsistent this year under first-year DC Bo Pelini.
On Saturday against Arkansas, the Tigers hold a 20-14 lead over the Hogs, but let’s just say Pelini isn’t too happy with the defense.
As you can see below, he was spotted on the sidelines tearing into a couple of players after an Arkansas touchdown:

Pelini’s defense has certainly struggled this season, but holding a 20-14 lead at halftime isn’t that bad against a tough Arkansas squad.
Will Pelini’s sideline tantrum spark the LSU defense in the second half? They’re down a couple of players on that side of the ball and had a cornerback ejected, but hold a 6-point lead nonetheless.
Once a Bo Pelini, always a Bo Pelini. Not right in the head. Not a leader of college men. Don’t get me wrong, It’s ok for a coach to be tough sometimes, but Pelini is the last person I would trust on what evokes the tough coach response.
I was excited with his hire, I liked the Chief, Steele, and Dapper Dave. Thought Bo would bring back his glory from old. But he hasn’t, bad player positioning, bad reads, bad calls…on and on. Ricks and Stingley came MAN UP to anyone, the remainder cannot. Jacob should have been moved up to LB where he was needed to help Cox. Coach O is a good manager not a great head coach. But he won’t fire an assistant like the Tennessee Terror. We’re suck till 2021.
