Ed Orgeron to LSU: Takeaways from Coach's Introductory Press Conference
Following the removal of his interim tag Saturday, new LSU head coach Ed Orgeron addressed the media in an introductory press conference.
Despite rumors that LSU was closing in on naming Tom Herman the new head coach, vice chancellor and director of athletics Joe Alleva announced that Orgeron was being given the full-time job after leading the Tigers to a 5-2 mark following Les Miles' departure, according to LSUSports.net.
The Louisiana native displayed gratefulness and pride regarding his new position and embraced the responsibility in front of him, per LSU Football on Twitter: "I want to let everyone know that myself and our football team will represent everyone the best we can."
