Ed Orgeron is joining the LSU Tigers, extending the long-time football name’s career. Orgeron will join the Tigers in a new stint, which will be his first with the team since 2021.
According to a Thursday report by WAFB9, Orgeron’s deal will run through 2027. However, while is return is news, the question is how much he will be paid for his return and how much that lines up with his overall net worth. In other words, how much is on the line for Orgeron in his new role with the team? Here’s a look.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Orgeron is worth $35 million, which is far better than some long-time football names who have struggled to maintain their finances even a short time after ending their careers. Of course, Orgeron’s career is still ongoing, but his salary indicates that he is entering a much different stage in his workforce journey.
The coach will make $100,000 per season, which will be a drop in the bucket compared to his net worth. Depending on how his money is invested, his salary is likely to be much less than what he makes outside of his job.
This raises the question of why he joined the team for such little money.
Ed Orgeron’s Fit with LSU Tigers
Ed Orgeron was signed as the team’s new special assistant to the defense and recruiting. Essentially, the role appears to be a way to keep him around and keep him busy more than put stock in the overall team’s success on his shoulders.
As an assistant to the recruiting staff, Orgeron could be someone whom the team brings in to help seal the deal with a potential addition.
He also might be able to provide support in selecting the players that make the most sense for the squad. Of course, only Orgeron knows what his end goal is with the job.
Is it simply a way to keep himself busy or does he view it as his foot in the door and first step to one day return as the head coach of the squad?
