Ed Orgeron: NIL is just 'walking through the front door'
10 Dec
Summary
- Orgeron joked about adjusting to NIL, comparing it to past cash transactions.
- He claimed paying players via NIL is a minor adjustment for him.
- Orgeron previously coached LSU to a national title in 2019.
Ed Orgeron, four years removed from his tenure at LSU, has expressed his eagerness to return to coaching.
He recently commented on the evolving college football landscape, particularly the introduction of Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deals and revenue sharing. Orgeron humorously suggested that for him, adapting to NIL is merely a "minor adjustment," recalling how payments were handled discreetly in the past.
Known for his elite recruiting skills, Orgeron believes the transparency of current payment methods presents a small change from previous behind-the-scenes negotiations. Having guided LSU to a national championship in 2019, the 64-year-old coach is looking to re-enter the coaching ranks.
