Kiffin Bringing Orgeron Back to LSU As Special Assistant

[Krymsonman]

In the news tonight, LSU announced that Lane Kiffin is bringing Ed Orgeron back to LSU as a coach. Orgeron's title will be special assistant to recruiting and defense. It sounds like he will be heavily involved in recruiting. I think it's funny because it looks like LSU's last buy-out payment to Orgeron was due last December. There was no mention of what Ed's new salary would be.

When all of this comes crashing down, he'll do an interview that nobody will be able to understand!

Seriously, this seems super cheesy to me. I can't imagine Kiffin wanting a former LSU HC and one that won a NC offering insights because everyone with half a brain knows that 2019 had nothing to do with coaching.

They worked together previously at USC, and Orgeron is a great recruiter regardless.

Coaching was part of it, just not Ogre’s coaching.

His title reminds me of The Office- “assistant TO THE Regional Manager” hahaha

I guess Coach O will be Kiffin's "tanning" buddy.

With some of these rehires LSU has made, it feels like LSU is going all in to win something. Exactly what that something is remains to be seen.

 

[CoolBreeze]

That is CRAZY!

This is a crafty move. He may have the communication skills of a brain-damaged parakeet, but somehow he manages to recruit very well anyway. And he was a very competent DL coach, if I'm remembering correctly.

This is insulting to brain-damaged parakeets everywhere…

 

[Bamabuzzard]

This is setting up to be too many cooks in the kitchen type of scenario.

 

[TRU]

Great hire. No one personifies the class and dignity of the LSU program better than Coach O.

 

[TideEngineer08]

This will end well.

Reporter: So how does it feel coming back to LSU?

Orgeron: Sheri bun my bodrushin fo shore.

Reporter: Right.

It is a little bit weird, but one area Kiffin usually needs help with is defense and Coach O knows D. I cannot say I wish them well, but if I was an LSU fan, I would not hate this hire.

He knows the state and literally speaks their language.

ETA: He’ll probably work for beer and crawfish.

Exactly what I was referring to earlier!

I hope somebody secretly records and then releases O and K's first big disagreement. It won't be "OK!"

 

[CrimsonTusk]

I hope this sends LSU to the bottomless pits of well,... Hell!!

I agree with Tidewater on the Coach O hire. He certainly isn't the brightest bulb in the pack, but he is a formidable foe in recruiting and there is a lot of talent in Louisiana, Texas, Florida, and Mississippi

See how much Ed Orgeron is getting paid to return to LSU

Ed Orgeron’s agreement to return to LSU as a special assistant runs through February 2027 and includes a $100,000 base salary
