LSU football head coach Ed Orgeron admitted on Monday that he made a mistake after the Tigers won the 2019 national championship.

But he stopped short of saying he would do things differently if given a second chance.

Orgeron was asked on Monday during his appearance at SEC media days about his decision to hire Bo Pelini to replace Dave Aranda as LSU’s defensive coordinator.

Pelini was hired after Aranda left Baton Rouge for Baylor.

The hiring of Pelini was widely praised at the time.
