In his second full season as head coach of the Tigers, Orgeron has led LSU to a 6-1 overall mark, a 3-1 Southeastern Conference record and a No. 5 national ranking. The Tigers are the only team in the country to have three wins over Top 10 teams on their resume in 2018.

On Tuesday, Orgeron was named the Dodd Trophy National Coach of the Week after leading the Tigers to a 36-16 win over second-ranked Georgia in Tiger Stadium.

Overall, Orgeron has guided LSU to a 21-7 mark since taking over midway through the 2016 season. Since that time, the Tigers have won 17 of their 21 games under Orgeron by double-digits.

Wrong so far. I love everything he’s done but I’ll remain cautiously optimistic until every game is played this season.
