Ed Orgeron<\/a> brought up some comparisons regarding Ole Miss <\/a>and Florida<\/a> as he bides his time for a potential new gig. Whether Orgeron becomes a head coach again or not, he\u2019s pretty confident in his abilities, particularly in the SEC.<\/p>\n

He already pitched himself to return to LSU Wednesday morning<\/a>. While it\u2019s uncertain the Tigers would get in a time machine and bring him back, Florida could poach Lane Kiffin<\/a> to be their new head coach.<\/p>\n

That brings up the debate if Kiffin would be better off staying in Oxford or moving to Florida. One thing\u2019s for sure, Orgeron knows and loves the talent in the Sunshine State.<\/p>\n

\u201cI loved my time at Ole Miss, but when was the last time they won a championship,\u201d Orgeron said, via 1010XL.<\/a> \u201cYou\u2019re in Jacksonville? Put me a Suburban, and we can drive an hour anywhere and find a couple All-Americans.\u201d<\/p>\n

Orgeron was at Ole Miss from 2005-07 as the head coach, but went 10-25. While he loved his time there, it wasn\u2019t a great coaching stint from a win-loss perspective. Orgeron of course rectified that going 6-2 in a brief stay at USC as head coach in 2013 and then eventually went 51-20 at LSU<\/a> from 2016-21.<\/p>\n

It culminated in a national title in 2019, going 15-0 and coaching Heisman QB Joe Burrow.<\/a> As far as what Orgeron could do next, could we interest you in the Florida Gators job? Coach O loves his truck or whatever other mode of transportation, to get around the state. Hitting the recruiting trail? Well, he can\u2019t wait!<\/p>\n

Previously, Orgeron said he was open to being an assistant coach to return to college football. The fact remains, he just wants to be on a sideline doing what he loves: coaching players, recruiting and winning.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want a fit. I\u2019m not going to take just anything, and not everybody\u2019s going to take me,\u201d\u00a0Orgeron told On3\u2019s Andy Staples.<\/a>\u00a0\u201cIt may be a head coach job. It may be a defensive line job with someone that I believe can win a championship \u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I interview, I want them to want me as much as I want them. I\u2019m a championship coach, and I\u2019m going to bring a winning program to their university.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ed Orgeron brought up some comparisons regarding Ole Miss and Florida as he bides his time for a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":259303,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[133795,399,398,396,397,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-259302","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ncaa-football","8":"tag-ed-orgeron","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-ncaa","11":"tag-ncaa-football","12":"tag-ncaafootball","13":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/259302","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=259302"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/259302\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/259303"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=259302"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=259302"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=259302"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
