Ed Orgeron refuses to get sentimental in return to Oxford, throws shade at Ole Miss

The LSU Tigers will head to Oxford this weekend to take on the Ole Miss Rebels.

For coach Ed Orgeron, it will be a homecoming of sorts, as he led the Rebels from 2005 to 2007, going a disappointing 10-25 in his three years at the helm of the program.

Therefore, Ole Miss fans won’t exactly be cheering their former coach, but Coach O doesn’t mind. In fact, he said on Monday that he is where he wants to be now, taking a subtle jab at Ole Miss in the process:

LSU’s Ed Orgeron told me the Ole Miss game is just another game “because the truth is the whole time I was there I was wishing I were here.”

Considering LSU was on a run of dominance from 2005 to 2007, it’s easy to see why Coach O was envious of his neighbors to the west.

Now that he’s in Baton Rouge as the Tigers’ coach, he has a big job ahead of him if he wants to get the program back to those championship levels.

However, coming off a big win over No. 10 Auburn last weekend, Orgeron has the Tigers heading in the right direction. If he can avoid a letdown against his former team, the Tigers should end up with a decent season.
