LSU Makes Two Big Defensive Line Hires
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.
