Ed Orgeron has what seems like a genuine fondness for the state of Nebraska.
"I've always liked Nebraska," he said Friday from New Orleans. "Football, man. Blue collar. Tough people. You know what I mean?"
Orgeron, the former LSU head coach who guided the Tigers to the 2019 national championship, seems genuinely thrilled that Mickey Joseph on Friday officially joined Nebraska's coaching staff. The 53-year-old Joseph holds the title of wide receivers coach, associate head coach and passing game coordinator.

"Oh, man, Mickey's like my brother," Orgeron says.
