As of March 23, 2025, there is no credible information confirming that former LSU Tigers head coach, Ed Orgeron, has rejected a new contract offer from LSU. Orgeron concluded his tenure with LSU at the end of the 2021 season, following a mutual agreement to part ways after a 9-8 record over two seasons post the 2019 national championship. Subsequently, he received a buyout totaling $16.9 million, paid in installments through December 2025.
Recent reports indicate that Orgeron has transitioned into an administrative role within LSU’s athletic department. In January 2025, he was appointed as the Senior Associate Athletic Director for Football Administration under a contract reportedly valued at $200 million. In this capacity, Orgeron is expected to oversee football operations, assist with strategic planning, and advise on program development.
Given this recent appointment, it is unlikely that Orgeron has been offered or has rejected a new contract to return as head coach of the LSU Tigers football team. No official statements or credible news sources have reported such developments.
