LSU head coach Ed Orgeron gave the proverbial hot seat he was sitting on entering the 2018 season an ice cold Gatorade bath posting a 10-3 (5-3 SEC) mark with a season-ending No. 6 ranking in the AP Top 25. The Tigers picked up big regular-season wins over ranked teams in Auburn, Georgia, and Mississippi State and put an end to the mythical back-to-back national championship conversation in Orlando with a 40-32 win over UCF in the Fiesta Bowl. The goal for every SEC head coach is to win their division and the SEC Championship Game, which means usually means taking down Alabama somewhere along the line.
