This is Ed Orgeron’s first season at LSU, and it could be his last.
According to Scott Wolf of the Los Angeles Daily News on Wednesday, the Tigers defensive line coach could be headed back to the west coast to reunite with the Trojans as a defensive line coach.
The report states that new USC head coach Clay Helton has had discussions with Orgeron about a possible return with Wolf writing that “any deal could be contingent on whether athletic director Pat Haden approves on Orgeron returning and nothing will probably be determined until after LSU’s season is over.”
Orgeron spent four seasons with the Trojans from 2010-13 and worked alongside Helton on the same Lane Kiffin staff. After Kiffin was fired in late September of 2013, Orgeron took over as interim head coach for the final eight games of the season and led the team to a 6-2 record.
Rather than keeping Orgeron in that position, the school instead hired Steve Sarkisian, who was fired back on Oct. 12. The announcement came just a day after he was asked to take an indefinite leave of absence regarding his health and alleged behavior under the influence of alcohol.
