LSU Makes Two Big Defensive Line Hires

Erik Trosclair • January 13, 2024

Lets get into it!

LSU hires Texas' defensive line coach to take on the same position. Davis was a defensive tackle at LSU from 1990-1992, he was named second team All-SEC in 1992. Bo was part of the LSU football staff twice, as a graduate assistant (1995-1997) and an assistant strength and conditioning coach (2002-2005). Bo has had multiple stops coaching at both the college and NFL level. After leaving LSU he would become the Miami Dolphins assistant defensive line coach in 2006, Alabama's defensive line coach (2007-2010, 2014-2015), Texas defensive tackle coach (2011-2013), Jacksonville Jaguars intern (2016), UTSA defensive line coach (2017), Detroit Lions (2018-2020), and most recently Texas (2021-2023).


Bo Davis has coached for legendary coach Nick Saban on four separate occasions. He joins a familiar face on the LSU coaching staff as Davis coached for LSU's associate head coach Frank Wilson at UTSA in 2017. Bo Davis has been apart of three national championship coaching staffs (2003 LSU, 2009 Alabama, 2015 Alabama). Bo has coached multiple All Conference, All American, and award winning players. He coached 2018 first round pick Marcus Davenport at UTSA. Bo will play a big part in recruiting, he has played a part in bringing in multiple four and five star recruits.


Fun Fact: Bo Davis' son, Beau Davis, plays defensive line at Southeastern Louisiana University.


Another hire LSU has made is bringing in Missouri's defensive line and edge rusher coach, Kevin Peoples in an assistant coaching role. The 2023 Broyles Award semifinalist is one of the more experienced coaches you will find as 2024 will be his 30th year coaching. Prior to Missouri, he was the defensive line coach at Indiana for two seasons and at Tulane for four seasons. Peoples has made coaching stops at Georgia Southern University, UAB, Arkansas, Arkansas State, Northwestern State, Northern Arizona, Central Missouri, and Blinn College. Peoples has coached several all conference players and multiple NFL draft picks.


Kevin Peoples played college football at Carroll College where he was an all league and all district linebacker.


Fun Fact: Kevin Peoples was the defensive line coach for the Las Vegas Outlaws of the XFL in 2001, the team which featured fan favorite Rod "He Hate Me" Smart.

Pelicans @ Nuggets Takeaways

By Chrissy Smith • October 30, 2025
Team Stats (Pelicans at Nuggets) Final Score: 88-122 Rebounds: 36-57 Assists: 17-40 Steals: 9-5 Blocks: 3-5 Turnovers: 12-14 Stat Leaders Scoring Leaders: Jeremiah Fears, 21; Nikola Jokić, 21 Rebound Leaders: Trey Murphy III, 7; Nikola Jokić, 12 Assist Leaders: Jeremiah Fears, 6; Nikola Jokić, 10 My Player of the Game: Jeremiah Fears Chrissy's Key Takeaways * The starters for this game were Fears, Murphy III, Jones, Zion, and Deandre Jordan. So that was different, and it didn't work at all. * With most of the third quarter over, Zion had five total points in the game. He finished with 11. * The Nuggets went on a 32-4 run in the third quarter. The Pelicans came out very slow to start off the third. * New Orleans went 7-of-33 from the three-point line. * Nikola Jokić had a triple-double. The Pelicans had no answer for him all night. * Do the Pelicans know that the season has started because the majority of the guys out there look like they still think they're playing Summer League. * The problem with this team isn't the talent because they have that. So what's the problem? Coaching, effort, etc.? This has to be fixed ASAP. Follow @TheKneaux on X, and follow me there too, @SportsChrissy.

Celtics @ Pelicans Takeaways

By Chrissy Smith • October 28, 2025
Team Stats (Celtics at Pelicans) Final Score: 122-90 Rebounds: 54-35 Assists: 25-17 Steals: 5-7 Blocks: 7-0 Turnovers: 11-13 Stat Leaders Scoring Leaders: Anfernee Simons, 25; Jordan Poole, 22 Rebound Leaders: Neemias Queta, 11; Yves Miss, 7 Assist Leaders: Payton Prichard, 8; Trey Murphy, III, 5 My Player of the Game: Jordan Poole Chrissy's Key Takeaways * The first two losses of the season were tough but at least the team looked good. In this game, no one looked fired up to compete except Jordan Poole and Jose Alvarado. * Zion did not play because he's been spending all offseason getting in shape just so he could rest after two games. Makes no sense to me. * Trey Murphy and Herb Jones need to find their spark and stride. These guys have been putting in a ton of work in the offseason but it isn't showing right now. * Willie Green has got to be on a short leash because this 0-3 start feels like the team is just picking up where they left off except this time they're healthy and have all the momentum in the world. * The next three games for the Pelicans will be on the road against Denver, Clippers, and Thunder .
