No, the LSU Tigers have not moved on from Ed Orgeron as the head coach. However, one can’t possibly think it is anything but a foregone conclusion at this point.
The Tigers went on the road to Lexington, Kentucky, and lost a game they couldn’t afford to lose. Looking at the schedule, every remaining team has a winning record with the exception of UL-Monroe. It isn’t looking too grand for the LSU football program. The remaining opponents have a combined 23-11 record.
It is very likely following the upset win by Texas A&M, all but ULM will be in the top 25 when the polls are released on Sunday morning. It is also likely that LSU will not be favored by win probability metrics in any game except the nonconference finale in late November.
Here is how the upcoming schedule breaks down:
| Opponent | Wins | Losses |
| vs Florida | 4 | 2 |
| at Ole Miss | 4 | 1 |
| at Alabama | 5 | 1 |
| vs Arkansas | 4 | 2 |
| vs UL-Monroe | 2 | 3 |
| vs Texas A&M | 4 | 2 |
Sitting at 3-3, it is hard to fathom the Tigers will win more than a couple of these games. Anything is possible, but with another dreadful performance, faith is wearing thin. It seems 5-7 or 6-6 might be the ceiling. It isn’t just the record but how this team has looked in the past 16 games that make many believe that Orgeron is likely done in Baton Rouge.
The team last year had many people thinking he might be one and done after winning the title in 2019. He wiped the staff clean, and here we are halfway through the season at 3-3.
