Jan. 4: LSU defensive coordinator: potential replacements

Beat reporters Wilson Alexander and Reed Darcey join sports editor Perryn Keys to discuss the big news of the day — wholesale changes to LSU's defensive staff — on an emergency episode. Brought to you by Champion Wealth Strategies. Wilson and Reed recap a wild 96 hours for LSU football — Dominick McKinley's commitment; a bowl win; Mekhi Wingo, Brian Thomas and others go pro; Jalen Brown and Zalance Heard leave; Brian Kelly wipes out the defensive staff; star recruit Harlem Berry commits. The guys discuss potential hires for LSU defensive coordinator, defensive line coach and in the secondary.  Also, we go through the enormous amount of turnover LSU has gone through at the defensive line coaching position from 2014 on. (It's been a lot.) Reed also recaps the LSU women's wild ride through nonconference play and gives us a preview of what lies ahead for Kim Mulkey's team as SEC play begins.
