LSU Officially Hires Ed Orgeron As Head Coach

by Staff Reporter

Derick E. Hingle-USA TODAY Sports

Update:
LSU officially announced the hire of Ed Orgeron as the permanent head coach of the football team on Saturday. Per LSUSports.net:

quote:
Orgeron, a native of Larose, Louisiana, becomes the 33rd head football coach in LSU history. Orgeron, who has also served as head coach at Ole Miss and Southern Cal, is 11-4 in his Past 15 games as a head coach, which includes a 6-2 mark as interim coach at USC.

"This is a great day for LSU and for all of Louisiana," Alleva said. "We got our man and he's been here all along. Coach Orgeron has demonstrated his ability to run this program with excellence, even under difficult circumstances. Coach ‘O' earned this job.

"I worked closely with (LSU) President Alexander and board leadership throughout a very deliberate process. By the end of that process, our decision was clear. Coach Orgeron took us step by step through every aspect of his plans for this program and there was no question that he is the man to lead LSU football."

Check out Tiger Droppings posting 11/20/16 College Football Rankings Week 12; TWT LSU Beats A&M, Florida looses to Florida State and Bama, Auburn looses big to Bama, Tennessee barely beats Vandy. Who is highest ranked SEC Team for Sugar Bowl?

KennabraTiger•89 months

So no one tightened anything?

Number 31•89 months

First of all, Vandyou beat Tennessee. Secondly, Auburn will still be ranked ahead of LSU and still owns the h2h.

TWT•89 months

Number 31; This was a posting from 11/20/16.

I like turtles

loweralabamatrojan•89 months

I'll never forget the liift he gave us at SC when we needed it. He wasn't perfect, but he had heart. I hope he kicks arse at LSU. Geaux Tigers!

Honest Tune•89 months

Thanks, LAT. A lot of our fans are sour on the hire, but I think he is going to do great things here.

VesperiaLSU•89 months

Look people, we all want Herman and Fisher ahead of O, but it's clear at this point neither of them truly wants to coach at LSU. Instead of paying ridiculous amount of money to hire someone who only treats LSU as a temp stop or stepping stone, and having to worry about getting into a bidding war with another school every offseason, I would rather hire someone who truly cares about this program and appreciates this once in a life time opportunity as it is. For those O haters, stopping being so close minded and judge him based on who he was 10 freaking years ago. People can change and so can they improve. Would you rather you next employer judge you based on your performance from a decade ago instead of who you are right now? Give the man a chance and see what he can do. Like it or not, he is our head coach now. Rally behind him and cheer for his success!

Vernonbrew22•89 months

Alexa Alleva just could not get it done

Lexman1•89 months

Agree! Agree! Agree! Well said VesperiaLSU. This is the nation where everyone gets a second chance right. I worked many different jobs before finding my niche in insurance business. Was very successful and retired at age 47. Coach O too is on the second chapter of his life and hungry for success. Give him a chance guys.

gondwanaland•89 months

the blind leading the blind at lsu- drain the swamp of their decision makers. terrible leadership at a great university!!!

kjntgr•89 months

I hate O

theBru•89 months

Cool, wanna get rid of your tickets?

Vernonbrew22•89 months

The majority on this board hate you for such a wussy comment. O did a whole lot better than CLM. Think back a few months dude. You need to curl under an oak tree and die

Slipperytiger•89 months

I love lamp

eugene1928LSU•89 months

It's Oeaux time. Great day to be a Tiger. Now its time to beat the gumps. Geaux Tigers

Ltigre•89 months

Alleva hires: Trent Johnson, Johnny Jones, Nikki Caldwell, Ogre. No top coach wants to be at LSU with Duke rape scammer Alleva running LSU athletics.

rob62•89 months

So LSU isn't a basketball school? Really? No shite. You guys who try to use hiring Nikki Caldwell as some sort of example are laughable. Who gives a damn? I bet you never go to watch the Lesbians play anyway. If you do then 99% of LSU's fanbase doesn't care. Just so you know. Lol.

lsuson•89 months

Not disappointed at all. As long as Coach O gets a solid OC, LSU will be just fine.

theBru•89 months

But, he talks funny & gets confused with X & O's...not a mensa member, his wife is not chasing his black players...& the list keeps growing... Let's face it, he is our coach, so let's rally behind him and wish our team the best going forward...

Ej Lucien•89 months

What a concept.....hire a guy that truly wants the job and loves the place. Herman would've still been looking for the next job. He's a Meyer deciple people. Kick some arse coach o.

lsusportsman2•89 months

Rather hire a guy who will win us a championship even if he's here a couple years, than hire a caveman who will tear our program to the ground.

jayboy504•89 months

And who is that guy you are referring to?? If it was Jimbo yes... Herman Emphatic No! Now there is a possibility that Herman may thrive in the Big12 bc they play absolutely no defense in that league but in the SEC Herman would have had no success against some of the better defenses in this league.

lsusportsman2•89 months

A day that will forever live in infamy. LSU football is done for.

rob62•89 months

Thanks for playing. Good riddance. Loser.

EagleMtnTiger•89 months

Then move the frick on and live your childhood dreams by watching another team.

theBru•89 months

I can see that Death Valley will be empty next year...to the protesters of our new HC...Why don't yall go burn down a dorm or something... One thing about it, if he doesn't pan out, at least we will be stacked with talent, can't argue his recruiting...

tigerrock1•89 months

Hermman wanted the money; O wanted the job. Geaux Tigers!!!

Whynotme•89 months

Yaba daba doo. I am dumb and so are you. Louisiana dummies hard at work.

BILLFISHER22•89 months

Whynotyou.....with all due respect, GFY!!!

rob62•89 months

All you smart people have pitty on all us dumbasses who wanted Orgeron over Herman. That includes all the players who are "Louisiana Dummies" too. By the way, fukc you.

DMC86X•89 months

He brought a binder with him! Can you say multiple ships??? This is embarrassing. Our AD is complete frick tard. LSU football just got set back 5-7 years. I'm literally sick right now.

Dignan•89 months

With all due respect, it was a kick arse power point presentation. It had graphs and charts and everything.

eugene1928LSU•89 months

Well leave then, certainly don't need so called fans such as yourself. Maybe football isn't your game dip weed. bye

jayboy504•89 months

Some sorry arse LSU fans on here.... either get on the O-Train or get the f##%.... I know some people want the shiny new car but the shiny new car had nothing under the hood... If LSU would have hired Jimbo that would have been fine bc LSU has pro-style personnel already on campus so the transition would have been seamless. People don't understand a spread offense is not going to work in this league!! Just ask Kevin Sumlin I'm sure he'll tell ya

YellaPurp•89 months

Les Miles 2.0........this is embarrassing. Now people want Lane Kiffin?? WHAT A JOKE!

comalking•89 months

Like Les or not he has a higher win percentage at LSU than Saban. Of course that's lost on you. Guys like you would rather bite your nose to spite your face. There's a reason the best coach I'm cfb history hired lane kiffin.

BayouTiga•89 months

Hey Yella, You played bunny ball I am sure. No clue what it takes at the D1 level. Go back to your sofa and take a nap!!!

EagleMtnTiger•89 months

frick off don't be a fan. You know and have so much more knowledge than the board. Yeah Aranda and Kiffin will just set back LSU football 80 years

Brexit, Trump, Coach 'O'!!! He knows football and he knows his strengths and weaknesses. Can't say the same for most of the Hubris Idiot HCs out there. Coach 'O' will go get the best OC in the country, already has the best DC, recruit his arse off, let his coaches 'coach' on Saturday, and let the chips fall!!! Geaux Coach 'O'..........Geaux Tigers!!!

TampaTiger22•89 months

trump is a douche bag

BayouTiga•89 months

Stay in Tampa with all the other tit suckin libtards!!!

rob62•89 months

Imagine that. Two Hillary supporters mad and name call other people who have the audacity to disagree with their "wisdom". Dumbasses.

If you can "blow away" your administration by recommending Kiffen, then clearly it's time for a new administration. This administration was never serious about winning championships.

comalking•89 months

Do you actually watch Alabama play offense or is the view that good from the cheap seats?
