If this wild gas station story is true, it is no surprise that Ed Orgeron is out at LSUhttps://www.golfdigest.com/story/ed-orgeron-lsu-separation-agreement-college-football-pick-up-line?utm_medium=email&utm_source=112821&utm_campaign=hitlist&utm_content=DM23211&uuid=dad16635f47a415d8273b5b271b98d54“It [Orgeron's new bachelor status] created messes for him, like the time Orgeron pulled up to a woman at a gas station wearing exercise attire. “Hey, you look like you work out,” he said, according to multiple sources. “We could work out together.” The woman informed Orgeron she was married and pregnant, to which he responded, “Why does that matter?”
Well, here’s why, Coach …
“That woman was the wife of a high-ranking LSU official. Word of this reached the LSU Board of Supervisors, the collection of prominent Louisiana attorneys and business owners appointed by the governor who make the most important decisions at LSU. And of course, it reached LSU athletic director Scott Woodward.”
Yeeeeikes. Hitting on your boss' boss' pregnant wife at a gas station is as bulletproof a way of getting sh*tcanned as exists in the capitalist world. It’s also potentially the most Coach O thing ever. According to The Athletic, in addition to the on-field product, the womanizing (Orgeron divorced his wife of 23 years in early 2020 shortly after signing a six-year, $42-million extension) has played a key role in Orgeron’s fall from grace, with one player even saying, “It was just a distraction. In 2019, there was no, ‘What’s Coach O doing postgame or Sunday during the day? Is he laying by the pool with a lady?’”
