LSU football head coach Ed Orgeron is finding that he has more time to be the “CEO” of the Tigers’ football program.

That’s great news for LSU in 2021 and beyond.

One of the biggest reasons that head coaches fail is because they don’t actually know how to be head coaches.

When a coach goes from being an assistant to a head coach, the job changes in a dramatic way.

Suddenly, a coach is in charge of the whole team, instead of one position or one side of the ball.
