LSU is now in the market for a new head coach after firing Brian Kelly over the weekend.
Ed Orgeron is emphatically throwing his hat into the ring for a reunion.
The 64-year-old Orgeron was LSU’s head coach from 2016 to 2021 and guided the program to its first national title since 2007. During an interview on ESPN radio on Wednesday, the Louisiana native said he’d absolutely be open to a reunion if LSU called.
“I’d love to. Are you kidding me? Hey, I’m one phone call away,” Orgeron said when asked if he’d want his old job back. “I just gotta get in my truck; I could be there today.”
However, Orgeron also expressed that he’s open to returning to LSU as an assistant if the Tigers went a different direction at head coach, like Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin. Orgeron previously worked alongside Kiffin at USC.
“Yeah, I’d consider it. I love LSU. I still got my home in Baton Rouge. I loved when I was coaching for Coach (Les) Miles, being the defensive line coach,” Orgeron said. “I love the Tigers, and if I’m getting back into coaching, for sure I’d consider it. No doubt.”
Orgeron was named the AP Head Coach of the Year during the 2019 national title campaign. Orgeron was also the head coach at Ole Miss. His overall coaching record is 67-47 with a 4-1 mark in bowl games.
He has been out of coaching since leaving LSU in 2021, but has said on several occasions this year that he is interested in returning, regardless of the capacity.
