When LSU fired defensive line coach [autotag]Jimmy Lindsey[/autotag] alongside most of the on-field defensive staff — including defensive coordinator [autotag]Matt House[/autotag] on Wednesday, and it wasn’t a secret who most fans wanted as his replacement.
Texas defensive line coach [autotag]Bo Davis[/autotag] has been a hopeful addition to the staff since even before [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] announced these staff moves, and when he did, Davis became an obvious candidate to replace Lindsey.
However, according to a report from On Texas Football, that’s not likely to happen. Davis is expected to remain with the Longhorns despite being heavily pursued by the Tigers.
According to a report from Football Scoop, LSU considered hiring Davis of equal or greater priority to the defensive coordinator hire.
LSU's interest was very real. As was Bo's buyout. Regardless, is a win for Sark and company. https://t.co/FiUE9DrJxP

A former player at LSU, Davis is a well-traveled and experienced defensive line coach having held that role at Alabama and Texas as well as with the Detroit Lions.
He began his career as a graduate assistant at LSU in 1995 and would later return to serve as the assistant strength and conditioning coach on Nick Saban’s staff in 2002.
