LSU football has confirmed that Lane Kiffin will bring Ed Orgeron onto his coaching staff as a special assistant focused on recruiting and defense.
A Strategic Boost for the Tigers
Orgeron, who guided LSU to a 2019 national title, returns after a stint that ended in 2021, bringing a deep network of contacts across the state.
Kiffin highlighted the coach’s knack for identifying and securing elite prospects, especially those from Louisiana, as a key reason for the addition.
The move is seen as a way to reinforce the Tigers’ pipeline of home‑grown talent and to leverage Orgeron’s recruiting pedigree in a region that has produced many of the program’s most celebrated players.
Industry observers note that the appointment underscores LSU’s commitment to blending experience with fresh ideas as the team looks to compete at the highest level in the coming seasons.
