LSU coach Ed Orgeron is a proud Cajun, and due to his heritage, has one of the most unique and fun accents in all of sports.

During the Tigers’ Week 1 win over BYU, a segment aired in which coaches like Clemson’s Dabo Swinney and Baylor’s Matt Rhule did their best impressions of Coach O.

Whether the network will issue an apology to Coach O remains to be seen, but it appears no more segments poking fun at the Cajun coach will be produced moving forward.
