Ed Orgeron says his experience at USC will help him as interim coach at LSU

Ed Orgeron suddenly finds himself in a familiar position — interim head coach for a big-time college football program.

In 2013, that program was USC; now it’s LSU, following the firing of longtime coach Les Miles over the weekend.

“It’s a great situation, very similar” to USC, Orgeron said Monday during his first news conference in his new role after being promoted from defensive line coach.

Good to hear that Orgeron is happy with his situation, and even better that he views his Trojans interim-coaching experience in 2013 as a positive one.
