LSU coach Ed Orgeron's wife Kelly nearly died last May: report

Following every LSU home football game, the Tigers stand in front of the Golden Band from Tigerland along with head coach Ed Orgeron and his wife Kelly.

Kelly Orgeron is a constant fixture around the LSU football operations building and frequently will make appearances at her husband's press conferences.

Many knew the Orgerons had been married since 1997 after Ed, as an assistant coach for Syracuse, met her on a blind date when the Orangemen played in the Liberty Bowl. They have three boys - Tyler (from Kelly's first marriage) as well as twins Cody and Parker (who play football at McNeese State) - but little was known about Kelly's personal life until now.
