LSU’s 2021 football season will officially be the last led by head coach Ed Orgeron.
Sports Illustrated’s Ross Dellenger reported just before noon Sunday that LSU and Orgeron have reached a separation agreement. There won’t be an in-season coaching change like many suspected, but there will be a new head coach for the 2022 season.
The other question surrounding Orgeron is the buyout number in his contract. As it stands, LSU would have to pay a $17 million buyout but that does not appear to be the case per Steven Godfrey.
The two are working on a separation, looks like the buyout number will not be the final payout

That LSU is moving on from Orgeron isn’t the most shocking news.
