LSU football head coach Ed Orgeron should be planning spring practices right now.
Instead, Orgeron, along with every other head coach in the country, is coaching his team from a safe distance.
The ongoing college football shutdown because of the novel coronavirus outbreak has pressed the pause button on sports in America. There’s no practices, no work outs and no in person recruiting.
Recruiting visits are extremely important during the spring. Programs are able to make a lot of progress with recruits in the spring, when the atmosphere is a bit more laid back (compared to fall).
