       Ed Orgeron has ended his search for LSU's new defensive coordinator. Po Pelini, will be returning to Baton Rouge to lead the Tigers' defense for the second time.  Pelini previously served as LSU's defensive coordinator from 2005-07 under Les Miles.  In 2007 the Tigers won the BCS national championship over Ohio State, 38-24.
      "We are privileged to have one of the top defensive coordinators in all of football in Bo Pelini join our staff," head coach Ed Orgeron said.  "Bo has had some of the best defenses in football during his career and we are looking forward to him bringing his tremendous amount of knowledge and expertise back to LSU to continue to win championships."
      Pelini left LSU to become the head coach at Nebraska for seven seasons. In 2014, Nebraska released him from his head coaching duties. From there, Youngstown State hired him as their  head coach, where he has been over the past five seasons.                 
      "The past five years have been terrific," Pelini wrote. "I can't thank President Jim Tressel and Ron Strollo enough for the opportunity here and support along the way. For all of the people, honestly too many to name, who were part of my YSU experience, I also want to extend a heartfelt thank you"...    "The opportunity to return to LSU is truly unique," Pelini said. "Culturally, with my prior experience at LSU, I know it is a great fit for me. The chance to work with Coach (Ed) Orgeron, the ability to take charge of the Tigers defense. All of that in a place that both my family and I immensely enjoyed when we were there before is very exciting for us. We are very honored and looking forward to this next chapter."
      It's reported that Pelini will sign a three year deal for around $2 millions per year.  Orgeron wanted to fill the defensive coordinator position quickly after Dave Aranda left to become the head coach at Baylor.
