LSU football coach Brian Kelly has fired most of his defensive coaches, including defensive coordinator Matt House, after a historically bad season on defense. The Tigers were ranked among the worst in the country in several categories, including total defense where they were ranked 105th in the nation for giving up 417 yards a game. LSU also allowed 28 points a game, third worst in the SEC.

Defensive line coach Jimmy Lindsey and safeties coach Kerry Cooks, cornerbacks coach Robert Steeples were also let go today.

The Pelicans won their third straight last night as they defeated Brooklyn 112 to 85 in the Smoothie King Center. The 85 points were fewest allowed by an opponent this season. New Orleans went 3-and-2 on the homestand, they are 20-14 overall and will visit the Minnesota Timberwolves tonight. The Wolves have the best record in the West at 24-8 and the Pels are in sixth place in the West.
