LSU Football: Ed Orgeron doesn’t plan to take it easy on his son this weekend

LSU football head coach Ed Orgeron is in a tough spot as a coach and a father this weekend.

The Tigers are hosting McNeese State on Saturday in Tiger Stadium.

And Cody Orgeron, Coach O’s son, is the Cowboys’ starting quarterback.

It’s a strange position for a parent to be in. Coach O has to focus on winning the game (though it’s a game that LSU should easily win). He has to do his job to the best of his abilities. And that means he has to limit his son’s effectiveness.
