    LSU defensive backs coach Ron Cooper has left the Tigers to take the same position with the Buccaneers, the school confirmed. Under Cooper, the Tigers' secondary accounted for 16 interceptions, nine fumble recoveries and 12 forced fumbles. LSU led the nation in turnover margin (+1.69) and ranked fifth in total interceptions with 18. The Tigers allowed just seven passing touchdowns all season, the fewest by an LSU team since it allowed only five in 1989.

  2. LSU fans are so upset about this. Cooper is a superb coach and other than Chavis is the best coach LSU has.

    It's been a tough few months and this doesn't help.

    On the other hand this is a great hire for the Bucs.

    and Morris Claiborne will probably be re-joining with him via the draft.
