+'''Matt House''' is an [[American football]] coach and is the current [[linebackers coach]] for the [[Jacksonville Jaguars]]
-'''Matt House''' is an [[American football]] coach and a former [[defensive coordinator]] for the [[LSU Tigers football|LSU Tigers]] responsible for fielding the most atrocious defense in the history of the program during the 2023 season. The defense stood in stark contrast to the LSU offense which was one of the most explosive in the country. The offense was likely good enough to bring another national championship to Baton Rouge if the defense had been even mediocre instead of the raging dumpster fire that it was.
