Ed Orgeron has officially coached his final game for LSU, making way for a new era in Baton Rouge. But the Tigers still have one more game to play after beating No. 15 Texas A&M, 27-24, to send Orgeron off in style.
And offensive line coach Brad Davis is getting the nod to coach the Tigers in their upcoming bowl contest.
The destination and opponent will be determined at a later date. It is likely that LSU will have its next head coach in place by the time the game is played, but it will be Davis directing the team for the final contest before turning the page to 2022.
Davis was hired in June to replace James Cregg, who was fired for recruiting violations committed during COVID-19 restrictions. Davis is an experienced coach that served as assistant head coach and offensive line coach at Arkansas.
