Ed Orgeron

Edward James Orgeron Jr. (; born July 27, 1961), nicknamed "Coach O", is an American college football coach who is currently the special assistant to recruiting and defense at Louisiana State University (LSU). He was the head football coach at LSU from midway through the 2016 season until the 2021 season. Louisiana’s 2019 Tigers team, which went 15–0 en route to a victory over defending champions Clemson in the 2020 College Football Playoff National Championship, is considered by many to be the greatest college football team of the modern era. Before LSU, Orgeron served as the head football coach at the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) from 2005 to 2007 and was the interim head coach at the University of Southern California (USC) in 2013. He played football as a defensive lineman at LSU and Northwestern State University.
