by Staff Reporter

Brett Davis-USA TODAY Sports

During Dave Aranda's introductory press conference at Baylor on Monday, the former LSU defensive coordinator had nothing but high praise for Ed Orgeron.

quote:
"I have such great respect and love for Coach O," Aranda said. "When I called Coach O and told him that I was taking the Baylor job, he was so happy for me."

"I told him that I have learned more from him, than any other coach I have been around. His story of hardships, learning from those hardships, applying lessons learned, having success, and then sharing it with a group of men... There isn't a better story than that and I'm so blessed to be a part of that."

He could have just thanked him and moved on. This was far above and beyond from a man known to be of few words.

I have never heard him speak that many words at one time. I will be watching when his team lines up across from Les.

Just like Oeaux.

MarineVet•52 months

Wow...Amazing the respect and love Coach O gets from his players and coaches. They get choked up talking about how much they love him. Thats some deep feelings of appreciation on display, like Burrow's Heisman speech.

Never seen coach Aranda get so emotional.

I was on the same line of thought.

Dave looked genuinely touched. Didn't know they were that close but it speaks very well of Coach Orgeron.
