Coach O is out at Orgeon, his time at LSU is almost up. Reports surfaced over the weekend that he’s on his way out, probably nothing to do with the Tigers getting an upset win over Florida.
Ed Orgeron and LSU reached a separation agreement which will put an end to his tenure at LSU.
#LSU and Ed Orgeron have reached a separation agreement: He will not return in 2022 but expected to complete this season, sources tell @SINow.
Negotiations began last week before UF win.
It’s unprecedented in the sport – coach & school divorcing 21 months after winning it all.

So what exactly happened to the relationship between Coach O and LSU?
Following the separation agreement, reports quickly surfaced Coach O’s chasing of women played a factor in their impending split.
Reportedly an incident involving the pregnant wife of a high ranking LSU official was potentially a root cause.
Coach O allegedly asked the married woman to a friendly workout. She reportedly responded by saying not only was she pregnant, but also married. Coach O was not phased by the double dose of news.
Via The Athletic:
“It created messes for him, like the time Orgeron pulled up to a woman at a gas station wearing exercise attire. “Hey, you look like you work out,” he said, according to multiple sources. “We could work out together.” The woman informed Orgeron she was married and pregnant, to which he responded, “Why does that matter?”
That woman was the wife of a high-ranking LSU official. Word of this reached the LSU Board of Supervisors, the collection of prominent Louisiana attorneys and business owners appointed by the governor who make the most important decisions at LSU. And of course, it reached LSU athletic director Scott Woodward.”
This is amazing work and a stunning read by @BrodyAMiller ⤵️

Coach O was the big man on campus, so of course he was extremely confident. Asking a pregnant woman who is married to a work out is a weird flex.
Legendary.
