Two seasons after winning the national championship with a 15-0 record and one of the greatest teams in college football history, Ed Orgeron was out in Baton Rouge. Coach O hasn’t been back on the sidelines since 2021, but he’s angling to make a return, initially popping up as a candidate for the Oregon State opening, but the latest reports indicate that he could be heading back to the SEC.
Arkansas is casting a wide net in its coaching search, and it appears that Coach O has been caught up in it. According to Pete Nakos of On3, Orgeron has been in communication with the Razorbacks, emerging as a candidate along with former Penn State head coach James Franklin, USF’s Alex Golesh, and Tulane’s Jon Sumrall.
