(AP) Former Nebraska Head Coach and LSU defensive coordinator Bo Pelini is leaving the program after one difficult season in which the Tigers allowed six opponents to gain more than 500 yards. Pelini signed a four-year contract worth more than $9 million and would still be owed nearly $7 million under his original contract. But LSU says Pelini has agreed to take a one-time payment that has not yet been disclosed. In a statement released by LSU, Pelini says he and head coach Ed Orgeron have “mutually decided it's best" to part ways. LSU allowed five opponents to score more than 40 points this season.
