Kiffin Bringing Orgeron Back to LSU As Special Assistant

[JustNeedMe81]

I don't know if anyone noticed that Johnny Jones was fired in 2017, Ed was fired in 2021 and Will Wade fired in 2022. They all came back this year.

I don't care what anyone says... but this is bad personnel move for Kiffin. Ed has been out of game since 2021 and you expect him to jump in and suddenly make defense better this fall? This whole thing reminds me of Saban/Kiffin/Steele thing that year. Recently, LSU AD said they're going back to Saban model.... so if that's the case... They're in it for a rough season this fall. Saban model under NIL collective?

Kiffen may have been encouraged to hire ,AKA accept, EO.

This feels like a Kiffin move... They're buddy and close friends.

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

$100,000 is chicken feed!

I’m sure this will all work out and be fine hahaha

Butch and Sundance ride again…….directly into the nearest sorority house

Special Ed and The Hat both won NCs at LSU.

As much as both were goofballs, I find it hard to believe that Kiffin won't pull some bonehead move that loses games he should easily win.

A great offensive mind. A questionable game-day coach.

 

[Coach D]

Keep him in check and could be great hire. As others mentioned great recruiter, also very good dline guy. If used only as recruiter or motivation guy it’s a win for them.

Cant imagine this will be good for kiffin’s sobriety. Never a good sign when your drinking buddies come back around

Per month??

 

[PA Tide Fan]

Per month??

I know it sounds crazy but it actually is only $100K total, but it will be divided up monthly. After he got a $17M buyout I'm surprised he'd even get out of bed in the morning for a $100K/yr job.

After seeing Petrino as OC (and then interim HC) at Arkansas last season, I don’t think anything like this will surprise me anymore.

Next up will be Jeremy Pruitt as DC at Tennessee, or Will Muschamp as DC at Florida, or Kevin Sumlin as OC at aTm.

Petrino will be the uber driver for the coach's wives and/or girlfriends.

We might see Orgeron take over as interim HC in a few years when Lane is fired, just like Bobby P.

 

[Windsortide]

He will be an asset and help Lane put a fence around Louisiana. I’m glad we got the QB when we did. They will probably offer the kid everything between now and next year. Coach O is an assistant not HC material.

It is for a college coach, but hey, LSU just got finished paying him $17 million, so Ed's just doing it for fun.

or for the insurance...

 

[bamadwain]

Lsu is thumbing their nose at people, saying we will hire who we want with no morals, hiring Kiffen ( who l would never want at Bama), Will Wade ( who shouldn't even be coaching anywhere) and now Org, they don't care about rules

 

[Evil Crimson Dragon]

Lane Kiffin just cant keep his mouth shut...................nor stop making mistakes. He has insinuated that Alabama pushed Saban to retire. If his tenure at LSU crashes and burns then he can kiss his career goodbye

 

[crimsonaudio]

Orgeron is a genius hire in the NIL era.

Sucks but true.
