Ed Orgeron's eventual departure became a reality Sunday, and the opening of one of the best jobs in college football sets up the most compelling theater in the sport.
LSU athletic director Scott Woodward agreed to separate with Orgeron after this season, which was first reported by Sports Illustrated and confirmed by Yahoo Sports.
The reason for the ouster coming after a win was two-fold — things were falling apart behind the scenes, and LSU didn’t want to entertain the slim hopes of the Tigers coming together as they did in the Florida win on Saturday and make it more difficult to separate.
