Ed Orgeron Tells Crazy Old "Worm In Mouth" Story During Trip To ESPN

LSU head coach Ed Orgeron appeared on ESPN's "Coast to Coast" show Wednesday morning and told a great story about motivating players when he was a graduate assistant years ago.

The story involved Orgeron putting a worm in his mouth to really drive home the point of teamwork to the players. Per The Advocate:

"It was just to fire up the team. It was about two guys fishing. They were in Alaska, had to cut a hole to fish. One guy was catching fish and other wasn’t," Orgeron said beginning the story.

“He said, ‘Hey man, I’m using the same bait. Why am I not catching fish?’

“(Other guy) said, ‘I have a secret. I keep the worms in my mouth to keep them warm before I put them in. I do whatever it takes to feed my family.’"

Orgeron completed that fishing story and then told the team, "Whatever it takes to win, I’ll do the same things." He then pulled the wiggling worm from his mouth.
