Kiffin is still hopeful of finalizing a deal with New Orleans Saints assistant and former Ole Miss coach Ed Orgeron, but the Vols aren't the only ones willing to throw some serious money at Orgeron.
There were reports Tuesday night that Orgeron had accepted a position at LSU as associate head coach and recruiting coordinator, although nobody at LSU was willing to confirm that. The Vols are prepared to pay Orgeron as much as $600,000 annually. He's considered one of the best recruiters in the country and would also coach the defensive line.
One of the holdups in his coming to Tennessee could be that he and his family prefer to live in Louisiana. LSU coach Les Miles said he wouldn't address any changes to his staff until later this week following the Chick-fil-A Bowl.

from the vol fan who made 50 posts about how O would never come to LSU:

I hope Chavis is pissed, backs out and goes to Clemson. Don't look like Brooks or Caldwell are going to LSU.
Pull a O Chavis, go home.

Thus, he isn't going there.
Damn, he's not going to UT Low.

Former Tennessee defensive coordinator John Chavis has agreed in principle to become the defensive coordinator at LSU and is expected to be officially announced at the end of this week.

I am actually shocked Low finally even admitted there was a possibility of O coming here. For weeks when all the rumors were going around he was writing as if Orgeron was already living in Knoxville.
Damn man, you're the SEC blogger on ESPN- you figure you would be a little more keen to what's going on around the league. Instead, he spent the entire time sucking Kiffin's knob.

Chris Low is just covering himself so that if Coach O goes to LSU, he won't look so bad. I bet Low's morning wakeup alarm still plays Rocky Top.

Low has been saying UT lock since kiffin got the job

Lows's picture on ESPN.com says enough for me.
