After Northwestern fired Pat Fitzgerald earlier this week, the school reportedly named defensive coordinator David Braun as the interim head coach. At the end of the year, though, Northwestern will have to fill that role permanently.
For a moment, it was reported that former LSU head coach Ed Orgeron was interested in the job, whenever Northwestern chooses to hire a permanent coach. However, Orgeron quickly spoke with The Athletic and Fox Sports’ Bruce Feldman to deny the report Wednesday night.
“Spoke to Ed Orgeron,” Feldman tweeted. “There is no truth to the report that he has any interest in the Northwestern coaching job nor has he heard from anyone at Northwestern.”
