Orgeron's already making recruiting waves Shea Dixon - 93 minutes ago LSU defensive line coach Ed Orgeron is known for being a relentless recruiter, and dozens of stories about his unorthodox approach to recruiting have surfaced during his time in college football. How long would Tiger fans have to wait before Orgeron had a "Coach O" moment in Baton Rouge? Not long. With the dead period now lifted, college coaches were allowed to start recruiting again on Thursday morning, and Orgeron and new defensive coordinator Kevin Steele hit the road, with the first stop coming in Alabama to visit with four-star defensive end Prince Tega Wanogho Jr., who is one of the staff's top targets on the board leading up to National Signing Day. Before Orgeron met his first high school coach while wearing the purple-and-gold, he was already busy coaching up a Top 100 prospect. "I was a little late for the meeting with them, and I walked into the room and Coach Orgeron was already on the ground teaching Tega some new defensive line moves," Edgewood Academy head coach Bobby Carr said. "It was something to see. "I can definitely tell you that I was impressed with him." Orgeron and Steele won't stop there. On Thursday, they also plan to make stops in Georgia and Florida, where they will check in with another four-star defensive end and a five-star defensive end for the 2015 class.
Just shows how different yaw yaws style is. Most lower income kids and parents relate to his down to earth style and they can relate to it. That's a big reason he is so successful, what you see is what you get and he's just an every day guy that is highly motivated, works hard and knows his job.
Yeeeeessss! You can't fake that shit. Parents see genuine enthusiasm and care. When they send their son off, Coach O is gonna take care of them. It's a great thing to see someone doing what they love for work.
Born and bread on the Bayou. I'm really excited about Coach O!!! Hopefully he sticks around. I doubt he gets a HC job but someone may want him for a DC.
