LSU hired Lane Kiffin in an effort to get its football program back to a National Championship-contending level.
In return, Kiffin is bringing back the coach who helped LSU win its most recent national title to join his staff.
Ed Orgeron is returning to LSU
LSU announced on Wednesday night that Orgeron is returning to the program as a special assistant to recruiting and defense.
Kiffin and Orgeron have a history together, while Orgeron is a legend at LSU for leading the team to a national championship during the 2019 season.
Orgeron was LSU’s head coach between 2016 and 2021, compiling a 51-20 record. He was let go following the 2021 season and replaced by Brian Kelly.
