LSU Football: Ed Orgeron’s 5 most pivotal moments in Baton Rouge

When Ed Orgeron was hired as LSU football’s defensive line coach in early 2015, he probably didn’t think he’d lead the Tigers to a win in the national championship game five years later.

But that’s exactly what happened. And the events that unfolded in that five year period to lead Orgeron and LSU to that point have been pretty amazing.

It took a perfect storm for Coach O to get to where he is today (which is among the highest paid coaches in the nation). From failing at Ole Miss, to spending a year on Rocky Top and then heading back west to USC, it’s all been an important part of Orgeron’s journey to the top of college football.
