LSU coach Ed Orgeron, who has agreed with the university to part ways with the football program after this season, wants to "finish out" the season, including any potential bowl game, with his team.
"This is our team," Orgeron said Wednesday. "I wanted to finish out with it."
Orgeron, a Louisiana native who grew up rooting for LSU, led the Tigers to an unbeaten season and national championship in 2019. He received a six-year contract extension shortly thereafter, but the Tigers have gone 9-8 since amid a litany of off-field issues.
What comes next for Orgeron, 60, remains up in the air -- and he said he'd be open to different opportunities -- but he wants to take some time to spend with family and figure out he'd enjoy doing.
