LSU and coach Ed Orgeron have agreed to part ways after this season, 21 months after the Tigers won a national championship. Orgeron's team went 15-0 in 2019 when Joe Burrow won a Heisman Trophy and LSU earned its third national championship in 17 seasons.
Orgeron received a six-year contract extension after the 2019 season. According to USA Today, he is scheduled to make $9 million this season, the second-highest salary in major college football behind Alabama’s Nick Saban.LSU slipped to 5-5 during the pandemic-altered 2020 season, but expectations were still high that the Tigers would be back among the top teams in the Southeastern Conference this year after Orgeron overhauled his coaching staff.
After another stint as an assistant at USC, he briefly served as interim head coach for the Trojans following the firing of Lane Kiffin, and went 6-2. But he was passed over for the permanent position there and later joined Les Miles’ staff at LSU.
