After Ed Orgeron came to a mutual agreement with LSU that he would call it quits at the end of this past season, I’ll be honest…
I didn’t think there was a chance in hell that dude would ever step foot on the football field as a coach again.
I mean seriously, a Louisiana native who had been dying for a chance to coach at LSU his whole career, and won a National Championship with arguably the greatest college football team of all time, along with the fact he had a staggering buyout of almost $17 million, I really thought he would’ve called it quits and sneak off to New Orleans with a 25-year-old “Lil’ Bebe.”
Especially, after he jokingly said in his final press conference that he’ll be able to afford a cheeseburger or two.
However, that may not be the case.
He came on for an interview with WGNO News New Orleans, and teased a possible return to coaching, while also thinking about working in TV.
Except, he admitted that there would be one team in particular that he would never consider joining as a coach…
And that’s the mighty Alabama Crimson Tide.
When asked about possibly joining the Tide’s staff as a Defensive Coordinator, he quickly said:
“It will never happen… Don’t have to worry about that, that will never happen with Ed Orgeron, I promise you.”
You had to sense there’s a little hate between Coach O and ‘Bama, especially after his comments after beating them back in 2019, when he said:
“We gonna beat their ass in recruiting. We’re gonna beat their ass every time they see us.
You understand that? Roll Tide what? Fuck you!”
Don’t listen around kids but this is amazing! Coach O with ALL the feels! Roll Tide What? 😂😂😂💜💛#GeauxTigers pic.twitter.com/hoM0GFVg3U
