Orgeron, a Louisiana native with deep roots to his home state, will take the place of Brick Haley, who is being reassigned within the LSU Athletic Department.

“Ed is an expert when it comes to the defensive line,” Miles said. “He will bring tremendous enthusiasm and energy to our program. His passion and love for the state of Louisiana makes him a great fit for us.

“Ed has done a great job at every coaching stop he’s made. His teams are always well prepared, played hard on every snap and fed off the enthusiasm and excitement that he brought to the field. This is a great hire for us and we are really excited about Coach O becoming a Tiger.”
