Coach O Returns to LSU in New Role | Baton Rouge News

Ed Orgeron, the legendary “Coach O,” is back at LSU—but not as head coach. Now titled “special assistant to recruiting and defense,” he’s quietly running the show behind the scenes, showing up everywhere from camps to NIL events, proving his passion for LSU hasn’t dimmed. With deep ties to current head coach Lane Kiffin—dating back to their USC days and Tennessee stint—Orgeron’s role is a perfect fit: a Louisiana native with championship pedigree who knows how to sell the program to recruits. Kiffin calls it seamless; Orgeron gets to stay immersed in the game he loves, while LSU benefits from his unmatched local influence and recruiting savvy. A unique twist on legacy, loyalty, and leadership. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
