Former LSU coach Ed Orgeron spoke at the Little Rock Touchdown Club on Tuesday and opened up about his exit from the school after the 2021 season.
After six seasons with the Tigers, including the 2019 national title, it was announced in Oct. 2021 that Coach O would not return to the team after the season. LSU ended up finishing last in the SEC West standings with a 6–7 record.
Orgeron provided details about the meeting he had with LSU athletic director Steve Woodward ahead of the Oct. 2021 decision. The Tigers decided to give the coach his contract buyout.
