Herb Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Yeah, much of this "group gossip think". Same thing happened when we were looking for a head coach. Absolutely nobody had Kelly on their radar (except for someone that is an absolute nobody). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houtiger Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 (edited) Hearing that Blake Baker is a top candidate for DC. The name did not ring a bell, but reported that he was LB coach at LSU in 2021. I began to remember that when Kelly came in, Baker was a coach many wish we had retained. I recall the players liked him and the LB play was not the problem. His wife is from Covington. I miss Jamar Cane as DL coach. Don't think he's coming back, but I thought he was very good. Edited January 5 by houtiger 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSUDad Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 BREAKING: LSU Hires Kevin Peoples As Assistant Coach Peoples will handle defensive ends and edge rushers for the Tigers, Brian Kelly adds to a talented staff. ZACK NAGY UPDATED: 6 HOURS AGO ORIGINAL: 6 HOURS AGO Brian Kelly has been on a tear over the last week as he continues filling out his defensive staff. It started with getting Blake Baker back down South and has since carried into the Tigers reeling in Bo Davis to join the staff. Now, another hire has been made. Kelly and Co. will bring Missouri defensive line coach Kevin Peoples to Baton Rouge as a defensive assistant. ESPN's Pete Thamel first reported the news. After LSU made the move to hire Missouri defensive coordinator Blake Baker, all attention turned to how he would fill out his staff. The Tigers reeled in Bo Davis as the defensive line coach and certainly weren't done in that area. Peoples adds to what Kelly is forming on defense. That being, an elite-level staff. The likelihood is that he focuses on the defensive ends/EDGE rushers. A coach who has as a working relationship with newly named defensive coordinator Blake Baker, it's a match made in heaven. He understands how Baker operates as a coordinator while also spending four years at Tulane as its defensive line coach. Peoples has been known for his development with EDGE rushers and is set to form a dynamic tandem alongside Davis. A look into the other hires Kelly has made over the last week and a half: The Hires Blake Baker: Defensive Coordinator Baker joins the LSU staff after serving as the defensive coordinator and safeties coach at Missouri for the past two seasons. Baker coached the linebackers at LSU in 2021. Prior to that, he served as the defensive coordinator at Miami (Fla.) in 2019-20 and at Louisiana Tech from 2015-18. He brings eight years of defensive coordinator experience to the LSU program. “Blake brings a wealth of experience and success as a defensive coordinator throughout his career, including the last two years in the SEC at Missouri,” Kelly said. “His ability to develop and motivate his players while putting together highly successful defenses sets him apart in his field. I am excited to welcome Blake and his family back to Baton Rouge.” Baker’s 2023 Missouri defense played a huge role in the Tigers going 11-2 overall and capping the season with a 14-3 win over No. 7 Ohio State in the Cotton Bowl. Missouri’s 11 wins were the most for the school in nearly a decade. In the win over Ohio State, Missouri held the Buckeyes without a touchdown for the first time since the 2016 season. Bo Davis: Defensive Line Davis joins the LSU staff after spending the past three seasons at Texas where he helped the Longhorns reach the College Football Playoffs in 2023 with one of the nation’s top defenses. Davis spent six years with the Longhorns, first as defensive tackles coach from 2011-13 and then as defensive line coach from 2021-23. Davis played for the Tigers in the early 1990s, served as a graduate assistant with the football program from 1995-97 and was a member of the strength and conditioning staff when LSU won the 2003 national championship. Davis returns to LSU with a history of developing some of the top defensive linemen in college football. In 12 years of coaching the defensive line in college football, Davis has produced 17 all-conference selections and seven all-Americans. He’s also coached players who have won the Outland Trophy, the Defensive Player of the Year in the Big 12 and Conference USA, along with the Big 12 Defensive Lineman of the Year. “As a defensive line coach Bo brings a wealth of proven success at both the professional and collegiate level throughout his distinguished career,” Kelly said. “Additionally, coach Davis is an outstanding recruiter and developer of the players in his charge. I am excited to welcome back to LSU coach Bo Davis.” Davis has been part of three national championships during his collegiate career, winning the 2003 title at LSU along with championships at Alabama in 2009 and 2015 as the defensive line coach for the Menstrual Wave.
