Ed Orgeron is in just his second full season as the coach in charge of the LSU football program.
He led the team to a 6-2 mark as the interim coach in 2016 including a convincing win in the 2016 Citrus Bowl over Louisville and then Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Lamar Jackson.
In 2017, Orgeron and the Tigers went 9-4 but it included a stunning loss to Troy but did have a 20-point comeback victory over No. 10 Auburn and a narrow defeat back in the Citrus Bowl to No. 16 Notre Dame.
Despite entering the season with a 15-6 mark, Orgeron found himself on several "hot seat" lists entering the season and prognosticators figured Orgeron was coaching for his job in 2018.
