LSU is expected to relieve Defensive Coordinator Bo Pelini of his duties this week, The Advocate reported on Monday. 
If fired, Pelini is owed a buyout of roughly $5 million. Earlier this year, LSU’s athletic department announced layoffs and pay cuts to mitigate an estimated $80 million in losses, brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. 
Pelini concluded his disappointing second stint in Baton Rouge with a victory in a shootout with Ole Miss. His defense forced six turnovers, but allowed 48 points and 558 yards of offense to the Rebels.
