Former LSU coach Ed Orgeron ‘ready to coach again’

Former LSU head coach Ed Orgeron said he is ready to return to the sidelines if he can find the right opportunity.

"All depends what the best thing available is," Orgeron told Baton Rouge's WAFB-TV on Wednesday night. "But I'm ready to coach again. I left a little bit of meat on the bone. I'm ready to go."

Orgeron, 64, guided the Tigers to an undefeated national championship in 2019 with Joe Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase and Justin Jefferson fueling the offense.

LSU stumbled to a 5-5 finish in 2020 and was 6-6 in 2021 when Orgeron and the program agreed to part ways.

Orgeron has an overall record of 67-47 including three seasons at Ole Miss (2005-07), one as the interim coach at Southern California (2013) and six seasons at LSU (2016-21).
