Bo Pelini

He was the defensive backs coach for the Super Bowl XXIX winning San Francisco 49ers and has coached at both LSU and Nebraska

Mark Anthony "Bo" Pelini is a well-known figure in American football, both as a coach and a former player. Born on December 13, 1967, Pelini has built a reputation for his defensive expertise, having served as a defensive coordinator for several top-tier college football programs, including the LSU Tigers, Oklahoma Sooners, and Nebraska Cornhuskers. His coaching career spans decades, and he is particularly recognized for his ability to develop strong defensive units that have consistently performed at a high level.

Pelini's most notable head coaching role came with the Nebraska Cornhuskers, where he served from December 2007 until November 2014. During his tenure, Pelini led the Cornhuskers to multiple bowl game appearances and maintained a winning record throughout his time with the program. His leadership helped Nebraska remain competitive in the Big 12 and later the Big Ten conferences, earning him respect as a head coach who could consistently deliver results on the field.

After his time at Nebraska, Pelini took on the head coaching role at Youngstown State University from 2015 to 2019. Under his guidance, the Penguins reached the FCS National Championship game in 2016, further solidifying his reputation as a coach capable of turning around programs and achieving success. Pelini's return to LSU as defensive coordinator in 2020 marked a full-circle moment in his career, as he had previously held the same position with the Tigers in the early 2000s.

Throughout his career, Bo Pelini has been known for his fiery coaching style and his commitment to building strong, disciplined defenses. His ability to motivate players and create cohesive defensive strategies has made him a sought-after coach at both the collegiate and professional levels. Pelini's impact on the game of football, particularly in the realm of defense, continues to be felt across the sport.
