Ed Orgeron led one of the most dominant college football teams in history, 2019 LSU, to a 15–0 record and national championship. That season saw quarterback Joe Burrow take a massive leap from mid-level starter to Heisman-winning superstar, the triggerman for one of the most deadly offenses the sport had ever seen.
Less than two years later, Coach O's tenure was over. After a disappointing 3–3 start to the 2021 season, Orgeron and LSU reached an agreement for him to step down at the season's end. After the perfect '19 campaign, Orgeron led the Tigers to an 11–11 record and sub-.500 mark in conference play over his final two seasons.
