Here's a read from a few years back on O's relationship with the Rock:

How Ed Orgeron inspired Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson at Miami
quote:

“People saw the cockiness, but no one knows how hard we worked,” said Johnson, who played for the Hurricanes from 1988 to ’92. “There was an accountability there, and Coach Orgeron was a big part of that.

In games it seemed as if those offensive linemen were holding us on every play. Coach didn’t care. I complained one time, and he got in my face and said, ‘They can hold you, they can kick you in the balls, they can f—— spit in your face—are you going to cry about it or are you going to overcome that and make the play?’ That’s bigger than football, man. That’s a whole worldview.”

I hope he can give a speech to the team before a big game.

That would be Awesome! Could you imagine The Rock walking into the locker room before the Bama game and talking to the team before they hit the field?

It was this attitude that gave us the edge in the playoffs this year. It was so evident around when the final rankings came out. Coach O, Joe and the team exuded a we don’t give a shite where we are ranked and who or where we play. When Ryan Day was complaining about the ranking, I knew they were screwed.

This has recruiting written all over it. Coach O doesn't use the Twitter machine for stuff like this. He would call The Rock first.
