Ed Orgeron hilariously describes conversation leading to LSU buyout

Ed Orgeron and LSU agreed to part ways in 2021, granting the National Championship winning coach a $17.1 million buyout.
As it turns out, Orgeron was just fine with that. He spoke at the Little Rock Touchdown Clun Tuesday and addressed his final days in Baton Rouge.
“They said, ‘Coach, you’ve got $17.1 million on your contract,” Orgeron said. “We’re gonna give it to you.’ I said, ‘What time do you want me to leave and what door do you want me out of, brother?'”

It’s hard to feel bad for these coaches who take home that sum of money. After all, Coach O did lead the Tigers to a National Championship and one of the greatest seasons a team has ever had.
It seems he’s pretty content with that, too.
