LSU football head coach Ed Orgeron is a master when it comes to hiring analysts.
Orgeron finds under-the-radar coaches to come to LSU to serve as analysts and help the Tigers get better as a program.
It’s not unusual for SEC coaches to have a litany of analysts. Alabama head coach Nick Saban loves adding fired coaches to his staff as analysts. In fact, the “Nick Saban coaching rehab program” has become a running joke at this point.
While it’s a smart move by Saban, I think what Orgeron does is more impressive, simply because he’s identifying up-and-coming coaches and giving them a chance.
