Ed Orgeron will be LSU’s head coach when Ole Miss goes to Baton Rouge this season

On Sunday, LSU finally finished what it started last December, canning Les Miles in his 12th season on the job. It wasn’t necessarily a shocking move given that 1) the athletic program had to be dragged away from ejection button at the end of last season and 2) LSU, projected by many as a Playoff contender, fell to 2-2 with a humiliating road loss to Auburn on Saturday night.

"Coach Miles has done a tremendous job here and he's been a great ambassador for our University, which makes this even more difficult,” athletic director Joe Alleva said in a statement.
