USC Morning Buzz: LSU Coach Les Miles Likes Ed Orgeron

With LSU spring practice underway, Les Miles gave some thoughts on his new defensive line coach, Ed Orgeron.

“I tried to hire him several times,” Miles told radio station 104.5 in Baton Rouge. “I’ve always enjoyed the reputation that he had. I always felt like there was a lot of energy that he provided. Not only the position he coached, but who he recruited. I’ve always heard he had a fiery disposition, which is just perfect for me. I’ve enjoyed him. I’m sure I will in my time. … He’s got a lot of energy. That’s just who he is.”

  1. wow, HIGH PRAISE from a respected coach who actually has Crystal in his trophy case!!!

    HAWR-HAWR!!!!

    • Chuckie: apparently Orgeron’s not good enough to be the LSU head coach, or they would have hired him for that position. Actually, USC offered Orgeron a much better assistant coach position than LSU did.

      • Crotch Boy is too stupid to understand that ED O cost himself millionzzzz by turning down SC’s outrageously strong offer. Hope Ed O’s happy. He’s making peanuts now compared to how it could have been and he has less job security to boot. Pride cometh before the fall.

      • you are right, Helen, he’s not good enough to be LSU’s head coach. but he’s MORE than good enough to be Southern Cal’s head coach!!
        I am convinced most trOXans would admit privately that they would rather had another promising year with the Agin’ Cajun, than mediocre Ocho….or did you FORGET the walk-on-towel-waving chorus line??? you think coach O would have needed that to fire up his team??

        • I would take Sark over Orgeron any day for head coach. Oregon’s skill set are best suited to coach lineman.

          Did you FORGET Orgeron’s strategy of feeding cookies as the answer? Yeah, let’s make the lineman fat and slow.

          Lest you FORGET, USC is the premier football program and LSU doesn’t even belong in the same sentence with USC.

          PS: Haden is basking in the money he saved by Orgeron turning him down – free soft serve for everyone except Scottie.

      • Aaaakkkccchhh! Das ist das chokink Zound! Zee zame zound comink out of zee office of your Obgyn when he see’s you in das vaiting room!

  2. Ed’s a good, loyal asst. Wolfie, sounds like you have a crush on him though. If you think Ed’s gonna eventually take over at LSU, you’re nuts. Miles has Ed right where he wants him, under his thumb.

  3. Coach O is great – will always be a Trojan. If only he hadn’t reacted so emotionally upon the Sark news, he’d be a million bucks richer, and he’d likely be a head coach at another pretty good school. His jumping ship cost him personally, which is a bummer, but he’ll climb back up.

    • Doubt he’ll ever climb back up above where he is now – permanent, lifetime asst. LSU is as good as it will get for him. Nobody decent will ever hire him as a HC. He’s not even a coordinator and he’s 53.

  4. Close ot his home – knows the region – speaks with that Cajun dialect – all good for Ed O’s skillset in Louisiana per LSU.

    Love to have him back at Troy as an assistant with his realizing that is where his talent lies and not compound his previous emotional tantrum or worse try again as a ‘HC’ aka I give you Norm Chow and recently June Jones – man’s gotta’ know his limit’s.

  5. Ed Orgeron…..”Come saturday night, we’re gonna let those little boys from across town into our stadium and we’re gonna lock the gates” ….(he left this part out…)” then we’re gonna get our azsss’s beat real good”.
    i love the “lock the gates ” part…Just like the rest of that dump…everything is LOCKED DOWN and surrounded in barbed wire. Why? To keep the animals locked in so they can’t harm people on the outside.
    figt On!
