Ed Orgeron tells Fighting Irish football team 'you're going to win it all' during visit to Notre Dame with sons

SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Former LSU football coach Ed Orgeron is at Notre Dame this week with two of his sons who are interested in coaching careers, Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman told ESPN on Wednesday.

It's a bizarre coaching connection between the two schools, as former Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly left to replace Orgeron at LSU in late November, after it was announced in mid-October that Orgeron would not return in 2022. Freeman, who replaced Kelly at Notre Dame, also interviewed with Orgeron at LSU in early 2021 for the Tigers' defensive coordinator position.
