Less than two years after winning a national title with one of college football's greatest teams, Ed Orgeron is out as LSU's coach.
A messy 2020 season and a poor start to 2021 sealed Orgeron's fate. LSU's non-competitive loss to Kentucky on Oct. 9 signaled that Orgeron's time would soon be ending. Despite Saturday's win over Florida, LSU decided to move on with Orgeron still set to coach out the season.
The Louisiana native considered LSU a dream job, but many linked the 2019 title more to Heisman trophy-winning quarterback Joe Burrow and elite young play-caller Joe Brady.
