LSU head coach Brian Kelly will fully overhaul his defensive coaching staff for the 2024 season, starting with defensive coordinator.
247Sports’ Matt Zenitz reported on Wednesday that the Tigers are letting go of defensive coordinator Matt House as well as defensive line coach Jimmy Lindsey and defensive backs coaches Kerry Cooks and Robert Steeples.
The Tigers scored 45.5 points per game to finish as a top-scoring offense in the country, led by Heisman winner Jayden Daniels at quarterback, but LSU only finished the season 10-3 after they allowed 28.0 points per game. They surrendered 416.6 total yards per game, ranking 108th in the country in total defense, and their 255.6 pass yards allowed per game was a bottom-20 mark in the country.
In their 13 games, LSU’s opponents gained 500 yards of total offense in four separate games. The defensive season bottomed out in September when the Tigers played Ole Miss, who scored 55 points and put up 706 yards.
LSU opponents averaged 6.14 yards per play this season.
