He seemed thrilled to be paid millions to not coach.

Maybe Northwestern St will give him a call.

They should absolutely. Winning a national championship is the only meaningful measure of an elite coach. It’s all you really need to look at when evaluating a coach really. Has the guy won a natty.

Orgeron deserves another chance. I hope someone in the sec will do the right thing. He just fits in so well in the south and that critical as well

If Willie Fritz leaves Tulane, Coach O is the immediate phone call.

Barry Odom beat him out of the job at UNLV.

Why not rehire him when LSU will have an opening in the near future?

I don’t think he’s really comfortable leaving Louisiana. Unless you count quick trips to Florida beaches to take selfies.

Kelly will be here another 10 years or longer. He’s already been more successful than many thought he would and he’s only in year 2 of complete rebuild.

Someone else will be the beneficiary of that national championship winning coach. Maybe Missouri can hire him when Drink leaves for a better job?

Why would O want to work? He’s wealthy AF. Living in Destin. Pounding hoes.

I don’t think Orgeron wants it.

LSU was his dream job and he won them a Natty and after that seemed to check out. Basically he accomplished his life goal now just wants to enjoy his money and chase poon

Larry Coker is another great candidate since winning a natty is the most important indicator of a coach’s ability.

Outside of Saban, LSU has been a career killer for head football coaches. Even when they have had success.

Les Miles is the winningest coach of the program and he watches college football on TV most Saturdays.

Virtually every top tier job is a “career killer” unless you retire on your own accord.
