Summary
Two years ago, LSU football coach Ed Orgeron won a national championship and was on top of the college football world. But now, the native Louisianan is on his way out, with the school announcing on Sunday that he will not be back to coach the Tigers again next season (despite having several years left on his contract). Today, The Athletic's Brody Miller joins us to break down the complicated reasons behind Orgeron's departure, including poor performance on the field, questionable behavior with women, political and racial tension within the locker room, and a Title IX lawsuit alleging that he knew about, and failed to properly report, instances of sexual assault and harassment within the team.
