Ole Miss was the first school to give Ed Orgeron a head coaching job before they eventually fired him after his third season on the job. You might think that Orgeron would hold some bitterness towards Ole Miss, but that is not the case.
Now the head coach at LSU, Orgeron is getting set to face the Rebels on Saturday in Oxford. He doesn’t think much of returning to Oxford because he’s all about LSU — the school he always wanted to coach.
LSU’s Ed Orgeron told me the Ole Miss game is just another game “because the truth is the whole time I was there I was wishing I were here.”

LSU has always been Orgeron’s dream job. Ole Miss firing him doesn’t make it a bigger game for him because he’s right where he wants to be.

LSU enters the game 5-2 following wins over Florida and Auburn after their upset loss to Troy. Ole Miss is 3-3 after picking up a win over Vandy following three straight road losses. Orgeron’s Tigers can’t afford another loss otherwise the calls for his job will increase.
