Louisiana native Ed Orgeron has LSU on top of the college football world after beating Alabama last week. He's taken advance of a chance he never got at USC.
College football Week 12 picks: Take Auburn to defeat visiting Georgia and Minnesota to win at Iowa.Now’s the time time to gloat. The Trojans had to move on from Sarkisian within two years because of the coach’s issues with alcohol, and athletic director Pat Haden decided Clay Helton was the interim head coach worth keeping. USC is now in Year 4 of Helton’s turbulent tenure, and the program appears on the brink of turnover yet again.
Former USC coach John Robinson, who joined Orgeron’s LSU staff this fall as an offensive consultant, says he told plenty of Trojans in 2013 that USC should keep Orgeron. She is 77 and spunky and it doesn’t take long to see similarities between mother and son. Junior and Coco can talk your ear off but also don’t need to say a word to convey how they’re feeling. Because they’ve been misunderstood for so long by non-Cajuns, evolution has passed along the skill of nonverbal communication. A well-timed grunt, a movement of the eye brows up or down, and the Orgerons can get their point across.
Food, and, later, the ability to play sports, became the spoils of nonstop manual labor. On the morning of the Louisiana Class 4 state championship game in 1977, Coco woke up her Junior at the crack of dawn with a fried shrimp po’ boy in one hand and his South Lafourche football helmet in the other.Wherever football took him, food followed. When Orgeron was at USC, Coco and her husband, Edward Orgeron Sr.
“You know how Hollywood depicts Cajuns, like ‘The Waterboy,’ ” Chase says. “We’re the dumbest of the dumb. Most of the country thinks Louisiana is just ignorant. So growing up as a Cajun, you work hard, you play hard, you do everything as hard as you can, because you’re already born with a chip on your shoulder. Everyone thinks you’re an idiot. Him coming back to LSU, that really embodies what Cajuns are. It’s not all about him. It’s about Louisiana. It’s about bringing the win home.
