LSU cans head coach Ed Orgeron following win over Florida

Ed Orgeron will finish out the year for the LSU Tigers, but after that, he’ll be looking for a new place of employment.

According to Ross Dellenger of Sports Illustrated, LSU and Orgeron have reached an agreement that will end his time as head coach in Baton Rouge. LSU Athletic Director Scott Woodward later confirmed the report.

Orgeron will complete the 2021 season for LSU, which is now 4-3 after beating Florida 49-42 on Saturday. Dellenger reports that talks of dismissing Orgeron began last week before the UF win; coincidentally right after the Tigers lost to Kentucky last weekend in Lexington.
