LSU Fall Camp 2026 And Orgeron's Role On Kiffin's Coaching Staff

(Baton Rouge, Louisiana) - He won a National Championship at LSU, was later fired, then re-hired, and now Coach Ed Orgeron is back on the LSU sidelines.

Someday an author will document Coach O's days at LSU, and it will be a story like no other. He went from being on top of the college football mountain to being run off campus, and now he's back.

One of the more popular moves Lane Kiffin made when he accepted the head coaching position at LSU was bringing back his good friend, Ed Orgeron.

While Coach O may not be a top coordinator on the staff, his presence has already been felt once again at LSU, and his very distinct voice is once again echoing across the practice field.

LSU Fall Practice

Like many other football programs around the country, LSU started its fall practices this week, and for the first time since being fired by LSU a few years ago, Coach O is back on the practice fields like he never left.

Several videos on social media show Coach O yelling at players to motivate them, and his distinct walk can be felt through the screen. Not only is Coach O back where many say he belongs, but LSU may be back as well.

Coach Kiffin knows what Orgeron means to this state, and that is why he elected to have him on his staff this season. Coach O, who was once the head of a National Championship-winning team in Baton Rouge, is now spearheading recruiting, and oh what a job he has already done for the Tigers.

Let's take a look at Coach O back at LSU. You can almost feel the intensity as he prowls the sidelines, and honestly, I never thought I'd see this again, but it's great to see Coach O back in his element.

LSU-Clemson 2026 Game

LSU opens up the 2026-27 season in Tiger Stadium on September 5th against Clemenson. ESPN's College GameDay will be in Baton Rouge to kick off the season, and you have to believe that Coach O will be part of the show.
