LSU co-defensive coordinator hired by Northwestern State

NATCHITOCHES, La. — Northwestern State is turning to a former assistant coach to turn around its football program.

LSU co-defensive coordinator Bradley Dale Peveto agreed late Thursday night to become head coach of the Demons, where he was an assistant from 1996-98. Peveto replaces Scott Stoker, who was dismissed last month after going 43-38 in seven seasons.

Athletic director Greg Burke will reintroduce Peveto at a news conference Monday.

Peveto, who has also coached at Houston and Middle Tennessee, will work with LSU through the Chick-Fil-A Bowl against Georgia Tech on Dec. 31.

This guy, Peveto, was LSU's recruiting contact for 5-star db, Janzen Jackson of Lake Charles.

Yes, it's Vol news. Word is LSU may now go after Coach O with a staff opening.

And if we were gonna get Coach O, I wish we'd go ahead and do it. The Saints season is over. Other SEC schools would like to have him on staff. I know we've recruited a few DT's lately, but seems that job would be much easier if we could tell them who their coach would be.

The more articles the better. No one (not even Noone) is forcing you to read all of them.

Yeah. Except for the fact that this opens the door for Chavis to go there.

Here's betting I am the ONLY alumnus of both the University of Tennessee and Northwestern State University posting on this one.......and I don't even care about this!!!

#1 This is SEC news. It applies under the category of "SEC news". If you don't like that, don't read.

#2 This is a potential opening for a former coach in Chavis, or a potential coach in Orgeron. Heck, I'll even settle for this story in the Vols section with that tie.
