It came as a surprise to many when LSU decided to part ways with coach Ed Orgeron midway through the 2021 season. The Tigers were less than two years removed from a national title win in 2019 under Oregeron’s guidance, but the pair of seasons that followed proved disappointing, and it was time for athletic director Scott Woodward to shake things up.
With that being said, Orgeron was a memorable coach, and his tenure featured many memorable moments, including the best season in program history.
As we await the first campaign under his replacement, former Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly, it would be fitting to take a look back at the most memorable moments from Orgeron’s time in Baton Rouge. Here are his five best wins, including a pair of honorable mentions.
