Ed Orgeron, who served as LSU football's head coach from 2016-2021 and led the team to an undefeated season and national title in 2019, "would love" to guide the Tigers once again, he told ESPN's Evan Cohen on Unsportsmanlike.
Ed Orgeron claimed his 15-0 LSU team, led by Joe Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase and Justin Jefferson, ranks as the best college football team ever assembled in any era.
On Wednesday, ESPN Radio’s Evan Cohen asked Orgeron if he would go back to LSU. Orgeron stated he would be back in a heartbeat. “I’d love to,” Orgeron said. “Are you kidding me? I’m one phone call away. I just gotta get in my truck, I could be there today.”
That might as well be the story of LSU athletic director Scott Woodward's time as the top boss of Tigers athletics. LSU fired Woodward on Thursday, one day after Louisiana governor Jeff Landry went nuclear on the LSU AD saying unequivocally he would not be hiring the next LSU football coach.
