Former LSU Tigers head coach Ed Orgeron has opened up about a frightening health crisis that left him fearing for his life. In an interview, Orgeron stated bluntly, "I was about to die," describing the severity of his medical emergency.
The 63-year-old coach, who led LSU to a national championship in the 2019 season, did not disclose specific details about the nature of his health battle in the available excerpts. Orgeron stepped down from his position at LSU following the 2021 season after a tenure that included a 15-0 championship campaign.
The revelation comes from an article published by The Comeback, written by Kevin Harrish. A photo from October 23, 2021, shows Orgeron on the sidelines during a game against the Mississippi Rebels at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium in Oxford, Mississippi, during his final season with the program.
