For a moment on Monday, it appeared like Orgeron was in the running for a head coaching position at UNLV. However, Bruce Feldman spoke with Coach O and he shut down those rumors, meaning Vegas businesses won't need to board up their windows.
“They said, ‘Coach, you’ve got $17.1M on your contract. We’re gonna give it to you,’” Orgeron said during a recent public appearance.
Former LSU Tigers coach Ed Orgeron said he has no plans to coach at any level during the upcoming 2022 season, but that a return to the gridiron in future seasons isn't off of the table.
The 60-year-old added he's "open-minded" about possibly accepting a different coaching gig down the road but explained he first wants to take at least a year off.
While Orgeron has a 49-17 record as the Tigers head coach, the team is just 9-8 since its championship victory.
