Ed Orgeron joins Kiffin's staff at LSU

  • On Wednesday, LSU announced former head coach Ed Orgeron signed a one-year deal to return to Baton Rouge as a special assistant to recruiting and defense on Lane Kiffin's staff.
  • During a Friday appearance, Orgeron mocked Brian Kelly's 'fake southern accent,' which became a subject of ridicule after the former LSU head coach's 2021 introduction to the fanbase.
  • Authenticity defined Orgeron's 2016 to 2021 tenure, during which he led the Tigers to a 51-20 record and won a national championship in 2019, remaining a beloved figure in Louisiana.
  • The contract pays Orgeron $100,000 through January 2027, and he is expected to be one of 10 assistant coaches authorized to make recruiting trips, according to On3.
  • Kiffin replaced Kelly following his firing last season, and LSU prepares for a new era beginning Sept. 5 when the Tigers host Clemson in the season opener.
