8. Ed Orgeron – LSU
Record at School
6-2
Ranking Justification
Orgeron’s first SEC stint didn’t work out so well. He went 10-25 in three years as the head man at Ole Miss. After taking over for Les Miles mid-season he guided the Tigers to a Citrus Bowl win.
While he might lack the swagger of some of the bigger names in the conference, he’s proven to be able to get wins in short stints. There’s a lot of unknown with Coach O. The head coach of LSU doesn’t have much room for error, so next season will be trial by fire for Orgeron.
Worst Loss
The offense was bad and they couldn’t get a yard when they needed it most.
Best Win
The Tigers kept the Heisman trophy winner out of the endzone in a landslide victory without their best player.
