Adam Rittenberg with ESPN reports late Tuesday night that LSU defensive coordinator Dave Aranda is not expected to be the next head football coach at UNLV.

LSU defensive coordinator has been linked to multiple open head coaching positions in the last 24 hours but it's UNLV that has emerged as a probable destination.

Like a bolt of lightening five-star linebacker Antoine Sampah shocked the recruiting world Monday evening when he announced his commitment to LSU. He tells TigerBait.com why he chose LSU over many other elite programs.

The LSU football coaching staff is hosting a big group or prospects this weekend but the only two who are uncommitted are both highly coveted from Horn Lake, Mississippi. According to their coach, LSU was the first on the scene several years ago and have not relented.

USA Today released it's survey of salaries of assistant football and strength coaches Wednesday. As expected, LSU football program employees do very well.

The LSU defense has been good this season, but it has been far from dominant. Against SEC teams, the defense has had a slight drop-off from last season. However, that performance should not be surprising with seven new starters on the unit.
