LSU Football: Another decision by Ed Orgeron backfired

It appears that a decision that LSU football head coach Ed Orgeron made this past summer backfired and was the cause of some of the issues that afflicted the Tigers in their week one loss to the UCLA Bruins.

In early June, Orgeron fired offensive line coach James Cregg.

The reasoning for Cregg’s firing was because he visited a recruit and provided team gear to a recruit in May while recruiting was still shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Cregg obviously broke the rules, but do we really believe that he’s the only coach who violated this rule in some form or fashion?
