One of the architects behind Texas’ journey to the College Football Playoff is headed to Baton Rouge.
LSU has hired Texas defensive line coach Bo Davis to the same position.
Davis, an LSU alum, helped develop the Longhorn defensive front into one of the best in the nation. Senior T’Vondre Sweat was named the Outland Trophy winner as the nation’s top interior lineman and was a unanimous All-American. Texas defensive tackle Byron Murphy was named Big 12 Defensive Lineman of the Year and both have since declared for the NFL Draft.
Davis went viral back in 2021 following a passionate tirade on the team bus following Texas’ loss to Iowa State. Many players and people around the program cite that moment as one of the turning points for Texas under Steve Sarkisian.
Prior to Texas and brief stint in the NFL with the Detroit Lions, Davis held the same position at UTSA in 2017 after a successful stint at Alabama from 2014 to 2015.
LSU head coach Brian Kelly relieved his entire defensive staff following the 2023 season.
