Ed Orgeron has been divorced since last february. Needless to say, it has been working out for Coach O. First, he was caught in bed with a much younger woman.

Now, Orgeron has admitted to losing a ton of weight since his divorce.

“During the COVID, we had a lot of time off — and I’m single now so I have a lot of time,” Coach O said on Barstool’s “Pardon My Take” podcast.

“So, I decided to start running 2 hours a day on the weekends — 2 hours on Friday, 2 hours on Saturday, 2 hours on Sunday … in the sun at 12 o’clock.”

Coach O has been spotted around the LSU campus on his grind.

Orgeron has been known for his workouts. This legendary story was shared in an ESPN piece. An equipment manager asked him how he stays in such great shape.

“Coach, you’re in good shape. Why do you do all this?” he asked.

Orgeron looked stunned. He couldn’t even fathom not maintaining great physical shape.

“Son,” he said, “the day I can’t whoop a man’s ass is the day I don’t get out of bed.”

Well, Coach O looks like he can still whoop ass at 59-years-old. Good for him.
